Can I use a metal spatula ? Or does it have to be a non-metal one.

They recommend that You do not use metal utensils on any of their pans. I never use any metal spatula or spoon. The surface is very solid coating and they advise you to season the pan before using. This is included in the instructions.

I can't say for sure, although I have been so unbelievably impressed with this pan that I would go out and buy a non-metal spatula just to be safe! Amazing non stick surface, brilliantly east to clean.

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.

It is not recommended, but I use a metal spatula all the time with no problems.

Yes, but as a general rule of thumb you don't want to use metal utensils in enameled cookware. Wood, plastic, and silicone are best.

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

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

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.

Not a traditional spatula with a handle, but a turner that fits the pan so that you can roll it. The turner doesn't have a handle

After having this pan for an extended period of time I would say no. It is a great pan but I do not use metal utensils with it just to be safe.

For All-Clad pans with a stainless surface, you may use metal or other types of utensils. Obviously you don't want to apply too much pressure, to avoid scratching. But metal utensils are not harmful to the surface. On All-Clad nonstick, you want to use something other than metal such as silicone or wood.

Yes, you can use metal on this pan, but it might scratch the pan. I am using a plastic lettuce knife myself. This pan will be my layered salad pan and I want to keep it nice for the holidays.

Short answer is no. Personally I never use metal utensils in any coated pan, even the best will eventually show wear. I do like using wood/bamboo spoons as they don't melt under high heat cooking.

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

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.

Elizabeth, I personally use only non-metal or wooden utensils with them. However, I have gently sauted asparagus and served from the pans using metal tongs with no ill effects, but I was very careful not to scratch the surface.

I would not recommend using metal utensils. The teflon lining is delicate and metal will wear it down causing the loss of the coating. Wooden and plastic is your best bet.

As with most any non-stick pot or pan, metal utensils are a no-no. Once you've baked the pizza, transfer to your stone or cutting board to slice it up. I built a wood fired brick pizza oven in the back yard, and the dough is really flimsy and sticky, making the non-stick pan a must for sliding the pizza off into the brick oven. HTH,Mike

I used a metal one and worried about scratching the finish. I now use nothing but wood or silicone as I want to protect the beauty of this skillet.
