can it be used with metal utensils?

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

At times, I have used metal "Grabbers" to turn grilling chicken, steak, etc., but very carefully. Normally, I use non-metal utensils with this excellent pan.

The surface is durable, but you could damage it if you use metal utensils. I always use something that is safe for a non stick surface and these last me a very long time.

While I have not tested mine with metal utensils, I would not recommend metal. Use a good plastic spatula. I use mine for pancakes and it is great. Heats very evenly.

Not sure I understand. The skillet is made of aluminum that has been coated with a black hard anodized coating. It goes on the gas burner or electric fob. If you are asking if it will work on induction cook tops, I think the answer is no. If you are asking if you can put another metal utensil on top, sure you can put any utensil on top off this skillet.

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.

I wouldn't think so. It is a utensil for cooking. I believe it would be too small. Hope this helps!

You can, but it is better if you don't. The process of the non stick coating allows for metal utensils, they will over time scratch the coating.

I do not think so. You must dip the metal in liquid to make it work. I did not think it worked that great on metal either.

Depending on the item, I think it could. I agree, acid might mess up the metal but other foods may be just fine.

I haven't used it on anything metal, but I really don't think it would have any problems doing any kind of job. So far mine has worked great for my needs.

Probably not. The plastic is probably not UV stable and the metal will rust. You could try though.

I don't see why not since it's stainless. I replaced my plastic utensils since they seem a healthier option.

Only if you are very gentle. For example, the rounded side of a metal spoon is probably ok, but the edge of the spoon will probably scratch the finish. BTW, I did not like the finish on the Cuisinart GreenGourmet pan. I prefer the regular Cuisinart non-stick pans.

I assume it is Teflon but I do not know for sure. I would not recommend using metal utensils; I use mine frequently. Love it!

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 wouldn't recommend it. It isn't meant for food, so I'd be afraid the metal would /could leach into the butter.

No, you shouldn't just for a precaution. Metal against metal can scratch and that is never a good thing. I would go with rubber or wooden utensils.

In my opinion you can use stainless, wood or silicone utensils with a SS pan. When using metal utensils try to avoid scratching the cooking surface however.

I am sorry that I cannot answer this since I have not used it on utensils for food.

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