Will metal utensils damage the finish on these?

I think it would be possible to scratch through the enamel with a sharp knife, but the finish is very hard. I only use wooden or metal utensils and have no noticeable damage.

NO-It shouldn't. It is a baked on enamel finish and not a non-stick coating.

I have not had any problems with metal flaking off on the beaters/hooks thus far. I have only owned mine for less than a year so so far so good-

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

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.

I have not any issues with them. Dishwasher safe, spatula has a beveled edge, and the rest of the utensils work great.

I've been using them for a month and I don't see a single scratch mark from silverware. I use 18/10 flatware though. Perhaps the softer flatware would make marks.

They'll get a bit beaten up, but yes. Mine are over two years old and just scratched. If you want to keep them pristine, no.

No, unfortunately. I've seen better tips in terms of metal thickness, these are better used for home use. I work in kitchens and I doubt these will survive a season in the an industrial kitchen. These are pretty small for volume production but, just enough for a couple of dozen cupcakes. Good price

I never tried that. What I did do was put them in the dishwasher before I used them. I've never had a problem with the metal slivers, maybe I was lucky. I hope that helps :)

Our cooker is only a year old so have not had this problem. The finish appears to be quite durable but metal utensils would probably scratch the finish.

Have used mine for two months and see no problem. Sometimes salt water or areas near salt water can effect metal finishes.

I use these at my work. We run them through the dishwasher there, but then polish them by hand. I've never seen the machine do any damage to them.

I wouldn't. We try not to,but we do occasionally,with no repercussions. I'd like my cookware to last so I take care of it by using plastic or wooden utensils. They do make great utensils that are safe for this surface. Enjoy your cooking&#127859;&#127859;&#127859;.

Metal will scratch the non stick coating so be very careful! If you decide to invest in this set it would be best to also grab a set of wood, rubber, or other alternate utensils.

Don't know if they are safe for the dishwasher. I don't put them in the dishwasher as I believe it would hurt the finish.

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.
