Should I only use wooden, silicone, plastic or nylon cooking utensils on ceramic cookware?

The finish seems very hard but I would not use metal utensils on ceramic cookware.

I only use silicone or nylon cooking utensils. This cookware is extremely durable. I've had mine for quite a while now and not a scratch so far. I bought 3 rubber sink liners at a dollar store and use them as pan protectors between the 3 frying pans I have since they're used every day and I keep them stacked on my stove top. These pans are really great for cooking anything you want. Treat them good and they will cook your food without the chemicals that are in the usual non stick pans. I wrote reviews about these pans you might want to read too. Hope this helps.

You can use metal utensils. I still have so many plastic, and you can still use those. Just don't leave them near the heat or touching surfaces very long.

In my opinion you can use stainless, wood or silicone utensils with a SS pan. When using metal utensils try to avoid scratching the cooking surface however.

Porcelain is better in my opinion. It diffuses the heat much better and when grease hits the rods the flare ups are much less. Much better investment than stainless.

I use only non-scratch (i.e., plastic) implements on non-stick surfaces. There are plenty of plastic spatulas and rubber scrapers on the market. My pan is a year old and still looks like new.

I use a little organic coconut oil , or real butter when I use this...do NOT use pam or any type of cooking sprays. Those will ruin ceramic, & all nonstick cookware,...

I would just suggest from here on out, just use silicone spatulas to cook in it. I don't even use wooden stuff, just silicone. It's the gentlest on the surface. Always use just a little bit of oil, I usually cook with coconut oil or ghee. Sprays will damage the surface. And I always wait until the pan has cooled before washing. Sometimes I'll take a paper towel and just wipe it clean and leave it on the stove to cool. I also have a very gentle non-scratch dish sponge and as suggested, I use Dawn liquid soap. These were all on the packaging and it works pretty well for me. Hope that helps with the longevity of your pan!

Teflon or non-stick. I use Pam and then wipe it off and they don't stick. I Love it!

Alan, thanks so much for sharing this. I have some 'silicone spatulas' with wood handles that were ofcourse never 'adheared' to the head, I have to take care not to get the 'connection' contaminated with what ever it is I am using it for. If you run across a solid sil spat, pls let me know. I'll do the same.

No. It will mess up the coating. I use wooden spoon or silicone spatula when I'm cooking with Orgreenic. I had high expectation os this brand, but honestly, they are just like all other non-stick pans that get dull in a short time. Then frying becomes sticky after a while. If you don't want to bother reseasoning pans, try the glass stove top brands like this: http://goo.gl/7AqNRx or this: http://goo.gl/jzxMCC . They are much healthier and easier to maintain. You can use metal utensils with it too. Once the non-stick pans lose the coating, that's when cooking becomes unhealthy so I will stick to stovetop glass cookware. Specifically the amber glass ones. They last a long time. Hope this helps. No. It will mess up the coating. I use wooden spoon or silicone spatula when I'm cooking with Orgreenic.

The Anolon website says that the pan is "metal utensil safe," but I still prefer to use wooden spoons or plastic/nylon utensils. I've owned this pan for a couple years now, use it often (on a ceramic cooktop), and it looks like it did on the day I bought it.

I would use only wood or silicone as you could ruin the seasoning of the pan

No problems;I use a silicon spoon/spatula or a wooden spoon. I have 2 of the frying pans as well, and we use a silicon spatula. The items are Pyrex and Tovolo. Williams & Sonoma outlets have good quality implements at discounted prices. Meanwhile, old fashioned wooden spoons won't hurt. Keep away from metals, and the wok will be fine. Enjoy.

In general I would never use any metal objects on a non stick surface, use only wooden or flexible plastic utensils

You are correct! By following the simple use and care instructions, the ceramic coating should give you a long return on your investment. I purchased a few new spatula's for use with my new Ozeri pans but several of my old ones still work fine. ALL non-stick cookware requires special handling and this is no different. I am Very Please with Both of my Ozeri Pans and will soon be completing my set... Hope this helps - Roger

It is best to use non stick utensils so that you do not damage the interior, nonstick, surface of the Calphalon pans.

This is my most used pan! I would definitely say no if you want the pan's surface to remain intact. I use nylon or wood in mine and I still see wear marks on the surface--not breaks. I would buy stainless steel if I wanted to use metal utensils .
