Can I use metal utensils in this cookware?

I agree with the other two replies - the inside is stainless steel and you shouldn't have a problem using metal.

I would not recommend using any metal utensil. I did so last week as I was in a hurry grabbed the wrong utensil and flipped an egg; found upon washing the fry pan I had scratched the surface. It was minor but nonetheless after using countless times I had caused this one scratch. I otherwise, am very impressed with this fry pan. LJM

I don't see why not. They are completely metal. I would spray them with a nonstick cooking spray first.

No and only because you will eventually damage the surface. My set came with a wonderful set of coated utensils. I've used coated utensils for years and actually prefer them to metal.

According to the care and use instructions that came with my Simply Calphalon Stainless Steel sauce pan: "Utensils: Cooking with stainless steel interiors is safe for use with all utensils. Cookware with nonstick interiors is safe for use with nylon, silicone, coated or wooden utensils. Do not use appliances or sharp instruments to cut, chop, mix or release foods in a stainless steel or nonstick pan. Such use can damage the nonstick finish and void the warranty."

I would not use a metal spatula on any cooking surface that has a finish on it. I don't recall the use instructions for this pan, but that is my opinion.

NO,using metal utensils will scratch the nonstick surface which will compromise the ease of clean up.

No, you should use non-stick utensils. You will scratch the surface with metal.

Yes. Metal utensils work just fine without any damage to the pans. They are very durable and are awesome to use. We love them.

Yes you can use steel utensils but technically mild abrasions are put on the surface when used. I think that gives the pans character, charm and a kind of patina. Mild use for decades shouldn't effect the performance. I have two identical pans in my kitchen. One used almost daily the other NEVER used. Only on careful inspection could you tell the difference. So much so that on a few occasions various people in the family took it down to use mistakenly confusing it with the old one. The old one has been used with metal utensils for 9 years and looks great. Hope that helps.

I don't have any experience with ceramic cooktops but I don't see why not. Look online to see what kind of metals you can use on your stovetop. Stovetop manufacturer should tell you.

You can, but it is better if you don't. The process of the non stick coating allows for metal utensils, they will over time scratch the coating.

If you look on the Lodge web site, it says what care is needed. You can use metal utensils and you can use pretty much whatever you need to clean them. However, the most I have needed to do even for the worst cases, like frying cheeseburgers, is to heat up some water in the pan and scrape it clean with the spatula. Then just wipe it out with a sponge and re-oil.

While I have not tested mine with metal utensils, I would not recommend metal. Use a good plastic spatula. I use mine for pancakes and it is great. Heats very evenly.

I have this cookware and love using it. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question, but suggest you contact the manufacturer for the absolute answer. Hope this helps.

Yes you can use metal utensils and no, it doesn't scratch easily. It is a quality pan.

You definitely can. It is a stainless steel so it should not be a problem. However, make sure you set it on a medium flame because the handles can sometimes go bad with continuous exposure to high heat. But the body of the cooker itself is of a very good quality steel and can be used as pan for sautéing, as pressure cooker and of course for deep frying too.
