Can I use metal utensils with this pot?

The nonstick surface appears to be much more durable than the earlier Teflon, but I wouldn't recommend using metal. Use wood or plastic.

I am not sure...I don't use metal utensils with mine. You could try calling the company for advice. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes, you can use metal utensils. I scrub the inside with a steel wool scrubber and the outside with a softer nylon scrubber. The outside is a chrome-like and shiny; the inside is a satin finish. Stainless steel is a hard metal and very durable. Never use chlorine bleach on stainless steel. You can use powdered cleansers such as Bar Keeper's Friend on any burned on food on the inside or outside of the pan. Stainless steel can be scratched but not very easily. If you like to cook this pan is an investment because it should last forever, scratches and all! Also, care instructions come with the pan. Hope this helps you with your decision : - )

Unfortunately, no it can't. Induction cooking requires ferromagnetic metal and this pot does not meet that requirement.

I am interested in the answer to this as well. I teach cooking and use stainless and titanium cookware...have been considering this rice cooker, but not without more info on the metal used in the pot.

I love this pot, but I would mash my potatoes elsewhere. The non stick surface would be nicked. So to be safe I'd say no

The book says you can, but I don't think I am going to. Probably something like a metal spatula would be okay, but not anything that could slip and scratch.

I would say that since it's not Teflon, you probably can. But Amazon does offer utensils. I probably wouldn't use metal.

The pan is solid, shiny stainless steel (no Teflon coating), so you can use any type of spatula, including metal. As with any stainless steel product, sharp knives will eventually scratch the metal, but the minor scratches will not effect the performance of the pan.

You need the porcelain/ceramic pot (caquelon) for those types. You can use the same assembly for heating but the metal pot will cook them at the wrong temp. Great set btw, got it at xmas and have used it a couple times since!

Use a fork lightly but is best to use non metal so u won't scratch the surface. They are great to cook with and heat up fast

Just like in any cooking ware, you can use metal utensils, but you shouldn't because it will scratch up your pan.

Probably could, but would definitely not recommend it. There are loads of high quality, heat resistant utensils on the market designed for using with non-stick pans. I own lots of Anolon (pots/pans/bakeware) and would not think of using metal on them. I even go so far as to use a heat resistant rubber whisk for sauces in a non-stick pot. Love my Anolon and wouldn't chance ruining that great non stick quality.

No. This is a very good and reliable pan, and it has served me well, but do NOT use hard utensils on this pan. It's a coated pan and will not long tolerate abrasion bymetal utensils. Use non-metal utensils only.

Yes, you can use stainless utensils. Obviously, don't be crazy about it. These are beautiful pans to cook with. To maintain the fantastic even heating be particular about keeping them clean inside AND out.

No metal utensil on this pot. After each use, I wash & dry and rub olive oil on the entire inside to store.

You could with a pot holder or glove, however it was not designed for this use and would get hot and may permanently heat discolor.

I have this pot but haven't cooked in it yet. As far as I can tell, this is stainless steel throughout. Doesn't seem as though any other metal would be touching your food.
