Since it doesn't have non-stick coatings all should be safe. I use all three without any scratching. Quick tip for cleaning; if you get baked on grease, etc, just pour a cup or two of water in the pan and heat to just about a boil and use a utensil to loosen up the baked on mess. Hope that helps! I love this pan! I now have three in different sizes.

You can use any utensils with these pots and pans. I use stainless, and use the silicone with teflon coated pots and pans. I don't think it really matters

Any of the ones you mentioned work! I use my trusty stainless steel spatula!

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 use all types depending on the food I'm cooking. I have nott scratched them yet. If something discolors it or sticks I boil some soapy water briefly & it comes off. Or I use those green pads & Barkeepers Friend.

The type of utensils you use on a stainless pan depends on how well you want to keep the the look of the inside surface of your pan? i know that some metal utensils will scratch that beautiful original look! I, myself, use a silicone type utensil, with a small plate outside the pan to rest that utensil if I am not needing it for flipping or stirring inside the pan. Good luck and enjoy.

You can use anything you want from stainless steel to rubber maid tool. Me I use stainless steel cause it safe to use it and it cleans the skillet better than rubber maid..

Stainless on the exterior and nonstick on the cooking pot. No problems with either so far.

I use a pie server made of the same material that's used for cooking utensils made for non-stick pans. It works well, and doesn't scratch the pan like a knife or stainless steel does. I own several of these, and my favorite is the oldest and most worn--nothing compares to a well seasoned pan :)

Stainless steel (SS) is very different than other cook surfaces. I usually use my cast iron pan for eggs but have since learned that SS can be used with eggs IF you wait 'til the oil in the SS pan is shimmering hot before you put your eggs in, THEN it will fry without sticking. Bit of a learning curve.

The pan interior is stainless steel. I don't use it but my wife loves it for its even heating properties. When I asked her how easy it was to clean she said it is no problem, the finishing step she uses is a fairly coarse steel wool but it sure does clean up nicely. She cooks with oil and butter.

I use plastic or silicone just because it seems like I should. Wood would be fine, too.

Aluminum- it helps to spread the heat evenly. Only stainless steel touches heat source or food.One daughter uses her on a gas stove, the other on glass top. Both work well.

I find that stainless steel cookware or aluminum cookware that has the bases that are induction compatible heat fast. The aluminum pans without that feature I use the Max Burton 8" induction interface disk but it heats slower, especially large pans.

Use a fork lightly but is best to use non metal so u won't scratch the surface. They are great to cook with and heat up fast

I believe eggs, fish and similar items will stick to stainless steel unless you have sufficient fat in the pan. We make eggs on non-stick pans and reserve the stainless steel for browning and searing, which the All Clad pans do beautifully. There are no hot spots so the meats brown evenly. Fish skin comes out nicely as well. We love our All Clad pans.

Most probably it is Teflon-the same stuff they use for any non-stick pans. If you don't like coating, you might like to look for carbon steel pans by De Buyer on Amazon..

Magma sells both types of pans - those with a non-stick lining and just the plain stainless steel. We opted for the plain stainless steel pans and are very pleased with them.

This is a stainless steel set, no non-stick interiors. However, if pans are properly preheated before adding food, there will be very little sticking.

Yes, you can use metal utensils. I scrub the inside with a steel wool scrubber and the outside with a softer nylon scrubber. The outside is a chrome-like and shiny; the inside is a satin finish. Stainless steel is a hard metal and very durable. Never use chlorine bleach on stainless steel. You can use powdered cleansers such as Bar Keeper's Friend on any burned on food on the inside or outside of the pan. Stainless steel can be scratched but not very easily. If you like to cook this pan is an investment because it should last forever, scratches and all! Also, care instructions come with the pan. Hope this helps you with your decision : - )

Yes, you can use stainless utensils. Obviously, don't be crazy about it. These are beautiful pans to cook with. To maintain the fantastic even heating be particular about keeping them clean inside AND out.

Stainless steel works differently than non stick. I do cook eggs in mine with no problem. You have to heat your dry pan until a drop of water "dances" on it when it touches the pan, teh drop of water sort of slides across the pan before it evaporates. then add your oil or whatever you are using let that heat up and then add what you are cooking.

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.
