Using metal utensils on Anolon cookware is an age-old debate that has been raging for years. On the one hand, many people feel that using metal utensils can damage the surface of their nonstick pans, while others say it doesn’t matter at all. The truth lies somewhere in between these two extremes. While it is true that some metals can cause scratches and other damage to nonstick surfaces, Anolon cookware is specifically designed to be used with metal utensils without any issues.
The company suggests avoiding very sharp or pointed items such as knives or forks when stirring food inside a pan so as not to scratch the surface but otherwise they are perfectly safe to use with any kind of metal spoon, spatula or ladle. It's also important to note that you should never use anything abrasive like steel wool on your Anolon pots and pans; this could cause serious damage even if it's made from a softer material like copper or aluminum alloy. If you want more peace of mind and don't want to take any chances with your investment then there are always wooden spoons which won't leave behind any scratches at all!
