Do special kitchen tools have to be used with nonstick cookware and bakeware?
A. Nonstick finishes on some pans may be marred by the sharp edge of a metal spatula or the point of a fork. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for the type of kitchen tools to be used on a nonstick utensil. Some reinforced nonstick coatings such as Excalibur and Quantum permit the use of metal utensils, however cutting with a knife is not recommended.
