Can you use steel tools like a spatula freely, or will it scratch?

I use metal tools and have not scratched the surface, I don't chop or cut on it but I use metal spatulas without a problem.

I used the standard stainless steel grilling tools on it and haven't had any problems

I do not use steel tools on the grill - I treat it the same way as calphalon - nothing that will scratch finish.

My grill is so hot I will only use steel tools....I have seasoned it the same as you would any cast iron pan or skillet. Scratches are nominal wear, remember this is cast iron. Look up seasoning cast irion pans on youtube for more help.

I can't tell you if you can use steel tools I went out and got some silicone and plastic tools

No. Its pumice stone so will definitely scratch; but you could use a razor instead.

Little Griddle actually addresses this in a video on their website. The short answer is that you can, but it will dull your knife quickly.In terms of scratches, it's going to get scratched every time you scrape it clean or use a metal spatula, so I'm not sweating a few scratches from a knife. Think about what you see when you go to a Japanese grill--you can do the same thing with this griddle.

I have an aluminum peel with wood handle and use it to slide my pizza or bread dough from peel to steel and visa versa. The baking steel can get some scratches from use but it has no effect on the sheet as it is only cosmetic.

I mostly use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. I personally would not use metal utensils.

It might -- but what kind of utensils? Steel? Aluminum? Or do you mean scratches from knife edges?

You would leave a scratch on the surface since it is stainless steel. I would use a cutting board.

Don't put it in the dishwasher. I use rubber spatulas - no metal and I also separate mine with cloth napkins to avoid any scratches.

The blades won't touch your pan, but the rest will. You will scratch your non-stick pan if you run it across the bottom (which will happen). If you make an awesome leek-potatoe soup, it will be jostling all over the place.

I've owned this item for approximately one year and have always used a non-metallic spatula. I believe you risk scratching the non-stick surface should you use any other type.

They recommend that You do not use metal utensils on any of their pans. I never use any metal spatula or spoon. The surface is very solid coating and they advise you to season the pan before using. This is included in the instructions.

Yes, you can. I used metal utensils in all my hard anodized pots and pan and never had any problems with scratches.

I purchased this roasting pan as a gift, so I cannot answer your question directly. However, if you use a wooden spoon or wooden spatula, it should not scratch the pan.

No, but may leave marks to be removed. Certainly, any wheel will scratch if grit is present.

I do not use metal on mine. I love the pots and pans but do think metal would scratch them.

Since the blade is recessed, the blade won't harm non-stick, but perhaps holding the smart stick down hard on the bottom of the pot might scratch since it is made of metal. If you are careful I wouldn't think it would hurt.

most cast iron do scratch, no big deal, just take some fine sand paper and sand it. I got my pan smooth as a baby's bottom.
