Can you use any type of knife or metal spatula to get out brownies without problems?

The pan is solid, shiny stainless steel (no Teflon coating), so you can use any type of spatula, including metal. As with any stainless steel product, sharp knives will eventually scratch the metal, but the minor scratches will not effect the performance of the pan.

Yes, you can use metal on this pan, but it might scratch the pan. I am using a plastic lettuce knife myself. This pan will be my layered salad pan and I want to keep it nice for the holidays.

Yes you can! I have used my metal spatula and it's no problem. I love the stainless steel...it's so heavy...I LOVE IT!!! I use a knife as well and I have had my pan for over a year and there isn't any real deep marks for it....just very little. You will love the pan!!!

I have not had a scratching and rusting issue but I would not use a metal knife to remove the buns. If sticking is a problem try using a plastic utensil. If you lightly grease the pan you shouldn't have a serious problem with your baked goods sticking to the pan. When using a dark pan I usually bake at a lower than recommended temperature to avoid over cooking the bottom and edges.

I purchased this item not too long ago, but I know you should not, use metal spatulas or used rough surfaces to clean any non stick pot and pans.

Actually I don't use a crepe spatula. I prefer tongs to flip them. I buy plastic tongs and they work great because they're not sharp and won't tear the crepe.

I have used glass to cook in it. Usually brownies and baking at normal temps like 325-350. Brownies turn out great!!!

When I ordered this pan, it came with a small plastic spatula. If it no longer does, I highly suggest getting one if you don't have one already. My son accidentally used a metal one and now the pan has deep cuts and has lost a bit of the non-stick in those places. :( LOVE this pan - we use it for brownies more than for lasagna.

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

If you look on the Lodge web site, it says what care is needed. You can use metal utensils and you can use pretty much whatever you need to clean them. However, the most I have needed to do even for the worst cases, like frying cheeseburgers, is to heat up some water in the pan and scrape it clean with the spatula. Then just wipe it out with a sponge and re-oil.

No and it says not to. There are too many quality spatulas that are made from nylon and other safe materials.

I would not use a metal spatula on any cooking surface that has a finish on it. I don't recall the use instructions for this pan, but that is my opinion.

Hi JN, looks like everyone's got this one covered! But for the record, yes the spatulas work great for either hand. Regards, Matt - StarPack Team

This is silicone so no sharp implements can be used on it as it will cut. A soft silicone palette knife is ideal.

No it doesn't. It is a regular 13x9 inch pan with inserts, so you can use any recipe for that size of pan and then slide in the insert. I love it for brownies. No more fighting to cut brownies. I use it for rice Krispy treats, pan cookies, and you can use it to make individual cake pieces. I hope that helps.

Hi Brian, Yes you can make brownies in the bigger pan! (I suppose I should update my review) I use 2 boxed mixes instead of one and I love to add things into mine, so I threw in a cup of pecans and a cup of dark chocolate chips. They turned out just as good as in the Brownie Edge Pan, but much bigger. One thing to make note of is the cooking time. I added about 10-15 on to the standard cooking time and this worked well. Obviously everyone's ovens are different so I suggest keeping an eye on it. If you're not sure, use the toothpick method. (Although I like my brownies very chewy/fudgy so I consider them done when the toothpick come out "almost" clean.) It is a great pan, so if you decided to buy it I'm sure you'll come up with many different ways to use it.

Yes you can. It comes with a regular grater blade or rollerblade, and it comes with another one that is designed for hash browns. You can look up videos on you tube...........

The cover is a light guage aluminum. Don't know about brownies, it is a good pan.
