How durable is the silicon coating? Do you think the utensil may cut or wear through it with some good use?

It is very durable! The silicone is still intact. Yesterday made a year since I ordered it. It is a lovely set, you will love it! The silicone on one spoon did retain some food coloring though (sauces). But I would definitely buy another set if I ever need one again. Enjoy!

So far so good I haven't had any issues. The silicon is thick I don't think you have anything to be to concerned about. It's a great product.

We've used these for years now as our main utensils and haven't seen any sign of that. The outer silicone is very thick and has not cut or worn out.

It's a pretty solid piece, so I have found that swishing it vigorously in a dish basin with Dawn, rinsing it thoroughly and then letting it air dry has worked well so far. It doesn't rust so this works well...and you aren't risking getting injured on the cutting blades.

I wouldn't. We try not to,but we do occasionally,with no repercussions. I'd like my cookware to last so I take care of it by using plastic or wooden utensils. They do make great utensils that are safe for this surface. Enjoy your cooking���.

Our cooker is only a year old so have not had this problem. The finish appears to be quite durable but metal utensils would probably scratch the finish.

I've got a few scratches on mine since I bought it. That being said, this pan is very durable and I love the performance on it. I've made everything from Lasagna, Mac N Cheese, and roasted meats. It cleans well and can be put in the dishwasher. I don't mess with the Teflon stuff because I'm pretty hard on cookware, and this product suits my needs.

I think it would be possible to scratch through the enamel with a sharp knife, but the finish is very hard. I only use wooden or metal utensils and have no noticeable damage.

There is definite give and bend to the utensil. But in my opinion, that makes it less brittle and less likely to snap like your plastic utensils. Time will tell, but it feels like it'll last.

Have used the pan for frying chicken and bacon many times. No issues with coating - still looks like new. Use it but don't abuse it & it should work great.

I would not recommend using any metal utensil. I did so last week as I was in a hurry grabbed the wrong utensil and flipped an egg; found upon washing the fry pan I had scratched the surface. It was minor but nonetheless after using countless times I had caused this one scratch. I otherwise, am very impressed with this fry pan. LJM

The only issue I have had with the coating is when I was running late from work and asked my 14 year old to shred the meat. I should have been more specific because she used 2 metal forks and did it in the pan. Filled with scratches during it's second use. However I have had no further issues with those scratches getting worse. Have seared meat in it a couple times without any issues.

I haven't found them to be any more durable than other non-stick pans. Although they advertise that you can use metal utensils, I found that they scratched easily, and then lost their non-stick surface. I think we were conned into thinking that they are better quality because they are Danish, but I definitely haven't found that to be the case!

I can't answer that completely because I have babied mine a bit with my plastic spatulas. It's so very pretty and new that I'm afraid to take a chance. It's very good quality stainless, though, so I believe it will stand up to metal. Sorry I can't be definitive. Give me a year. By then I'll know for sure. :)

I have had good use without trouble. I am not a commercial knife sharpener so I wouldnt be able to comment on wear at that rate of use. But, at home I am perfectly happy with it.

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 have used it off and on for a few months and have not yet damaged it in any way. It appears to be made from fairly durable plastic. It is not bad as a very basic knife.

The guy said it could scratch but it will never peel or flake even if you do. It's not like the nasty teflon I've had in the past. I used a metal spatula my grandmother gave once and it was fine but I only use bamboo and silicon regularly. I have a mark on it but it still work great and no peeling.

I only use silicone or nylon cooking utensils. This cookware is extremely durable. I've had mine for quite a while now and not a scratch so far. I bought 3 rubber sink liners at a dollar store and use them as pan protectors between the 3 frying pans I have since they're used every day and I keep them stacked on my stove top. These pans are really great for cooking anything you want. Treat them good and they will cook your food without the chemicals that are in the usual non stick pans. I wrote reviews about these pans you might want to read too. Hope this helps.
