It is not recommended to use metal with these pans. They would scratch. I have only used nylon and my pans have held up well.

I'm pretty sure you can but I would not recommend this item the metal is very soft and it broke very very easy. I got 1 use out of it and it fell on the counter and broke the tube in half.

NO,using metal utensils will scratch the nonstick surface which will compromise the ease of clean up.

Maybe if its plastic, and you're careful. I wouldn't bring a metal utensil anywhere near these pots.

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.

They say you can use metal with these pans but I wouldn't. Occasionally we have inadvertently used metal (or our older children have used metal) and nothing has happened. In my experience the only pans that stand up to constant metal use is stainless steel. These pans are great so far. I'm not familiar with the infinite ones. We bought ours several months ago and they have worked very well. You can also wash these in the dishwasher but again, I wouldn't. Occasionally we don't have time to clean by hand so we put them in the dishwasher for a quick cleaning (e.g. right before going on vacation), but generally we clean them by hand.

Yes, I would highly recommend using metal with anything cast iron. I have for years and nothing that I own is any worse for the wear. Metal seems to make the food easier to manipulate. Go for it!

I use them as spice holders (pinch bowls) but they are durable..... Don't see any reason why you couldn't. The bowls are metal but lids are plastic.

Yes, you can use a fork (the nonstick is of excellent quality). It is safe to use the metal utensils depends how rough/stronly use. Try to stirr/use metal utensils gently for the good life of the set.

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

I guess you can , the look would be very different, they look very good on metal where there supposed to be, I would prefer replace a plastic moulding than paint the scuffed metal, that s up to you

Yes. They have been really good since I have had them! Just make sure you use plastic or wooden spoons

NO!! They are awesome, but very delicate. Cannot use metal spoons to stir and they recommend hand washing them which I do. I love these, have been using them for years.

yes they can. I read on out side of box that pans had aluminum in them and thought...oh good grief. These won't work! But they do. They are a little cheap looking but do the job.

Yes, they can.they are made of fabric; no metal pieces. Love these, but wish they came in colors. The natural color fabric dirties rather quickly.
