It is generally not recommended to use metal utensils on non-stick cookware. Non-stick coatings are designed to be relatively delicate and can easily scratch or peel when exposed to rough or sharp utensils, such as metal spatulas, forks, or knives. When the coating gets damaged, it can diminish the non-stick properties of the cookware and potentially release harmful chemicals into your food.
To maintain the longevity and effectiveness of your non-stick cookware, it's best to use utensils made of materials that are safe for non-stick surfaces. Opt for utensils with soft edges or made of heat-resistant silicone, nylon, wood, or plastic. These materials are less likely to scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines specific to your cookware to ensure proper care and maintenance.
