Can metal utensils be used with this griddle

I'm not sure what All-Clad would say but I think they would recommend against it. Personally, I wouldn't use them as I am convinced they shorten the life of your non-stick pan or appliance. When non-stick surfaces become scratched they lose some of their non-stick qualities and the non-stick substance can begin to flake into what you are cooking. That is not a good thing. I have had great luck with non-stick utensils from Williams-Sonoma and Calphalon as well as some wooden utensils. I reserve my metal utensils for my BBQ grill, plain cast iron pans and griddles and my stainless steel and French iron pans.

No, it has a non-stick coating on top and silicone or nylon should be used to preserve the coating. I personally don't use the scraper that came with it, some reviewers said it scarred up the top. It's super easy just to wipe off with a warm dish towel or sponge.

No not really only if you are very carefull not to scratch the surface of the griddle

No... can not be used metal utensils..Better use wooden spatula..or.. silicone.

get the highest heat-resistant spatula you can find. Just don't leave it resting on the griddle.

No. You definitely want to only use utensils that are safe for nonstick cookware with this griddle.

As long as you use plenty of oil or whatever you are using, it works fine. If not enough oil then whatever you are cooking will stick to the griddle. You must not turn the heat too high. A medium or low heat works best.

Well, of course you can use whatever you would like, but if you want the non-stick coating to last I would recommend using anything other than metal. Metal cooking utensils tend to scratch and scrape the non-stick surface. Plastic, wood, or other non-metal utensils are recommended.

I don't see why not. It is all about managing the heat. I would be cautious with overheating the pan with the Teflon coating above 400 degrees but I doubt you would ever need it that hot. This is a great griddle, we use it all the time.

YES - it is NOT a non-stick product - I guess you could call it a "stick cookware set" You can use metal utensils with it, maybe that says it best.

Yes, as long as it isn't a non-stick surface you are cleaning.I would not for fear of ruining the bevel at the edge of the scraper.Buy an inexpensive broad putty knife for your griddle.

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.

I just checked and the bottom of the griddle does have magnetic properties. It may not work as well as copper or cast iron, but that should allow the metal to be heated through induction.

I wouldn't, they sent a set of utensils that were plastic and if I recall ( I don't want to go dig out the instruction book) they say NOT to use metal. Plus the ones they sent with it are really good and sturdy and clean up nice. Enjoy your set ... I do.

I have never used metal utensils with these pans. They recommend not using them and with that cost, I'm not taking the chance. By the way, I love these pans, it is worth taking just a little care to keep them good. Nothing sticks to them, but if I scratch them, I am sure they will start to degrade.

Yes. Simply remove one of the other utensils and replace it with a spatula.

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

As with any non stick surface it is not a good idea to use metal utensils on this cookware. On the other hand, I do sometimes use a metal spoon or a metal spatula on it but it is not often and there have been no marks rom it but that is because I am incredibly careful with my cookware. I would say that in most cases it is OK.. although I would recommend that you are seriously careful with it.

You should not with aluminum nonstick cookware. You can if you don't tend to scrape the sides and bottom but if you are heavy handed, you should stick with plastic, wood, or vinyl utensils.

Yes. The aluminum is fairly thin and can bend or be dented fairly easily, so a bit of care is required. Knives and forks scratch the surface. Thicker stainless pans might be better if you plan to use the pan frequently or anticipate rough handling.

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 : - )
