do you need to use special utensils for this cookware ?

Although you could use stainless steel utensils, I prefer to use wooden or heat tolerant silicone utensils to help keep the inside of the pots and pans scratch-free.

By that i guess you want to know, if it needs any special care while maintaining/ usage - The answer is none. care/ handling/ use is similar to any other stainless steel utensil.

I use stainless utensils, nylon utensils, and wooden spoons, and they all work great!

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.

Well, I'm super careful about 1) metal utensils 2) using medium instead of high heat and 3) no dishwasher. The hardest thing for me to get used to was the heat. I've always been used to using pretty high heat for some things. So far, one of the neatest things about this cookware is that it heats so fast and so evenly that high heat just isn't required. Hope that helps.

Some lids for the pots and pans. Yes you need to oil them or non stick especially with high heat.

No this is the best set of cookware I have owned. They clean up easy as well.

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.

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.

No, I didn't have to do a thing and they still look wonderful. One extra thought - I use Barkeeper's Friend to keep the inside of the pans looking like new when i finish cooking with them.

Mine didn't. I picked this set because I too didn't want any with a nonstick coating. The pots and frying pan are all metal.

I'm not sure I know what you mean...this set has a ceramic, non stick, coating, so I wouldn't think it needs to be seasoned. It's not like cast iron. Hope this helps!

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.

Absolutely. You only need to avoid metal utensils when the interior is a non-stick material.

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.

You need to use a soft cloth or soft brush (Oxo has one designed for Teflon pans). Stack them with paper towel in between or better yet don't stack them at all. I've had mine a year, no scratches and easily the best set we've ever had. Just treat them nicely and they will last. Only wish the mid size pot was a little bit bigger, but overall a great buy.

If you are using a cast iron skillet, yes. If you are using a ceramic or coated skillet, use a hard plastic one.

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

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