1. Silicone Utensils – The Nonstick Pan's Best Friend
Silicone utensils are a top choice for nonstick cookware. Flexible, heat-resistant, and gentle on delicate surfaces, they’re designed to prevent scratching or chipping the nonstick coating. They can withstand high heat without melting, making them perfect for tasks like stirring, flipping, or serving.
Starpack Tip: Our LFGB-certified silicone utensils are specifically crafted for nonstick surfaces, ensuring both durability and safety.
2. Wooden Utensils – A Classic, Safe Choice
Wooden spoons and spatulas have been kitchen staples for generations, and for good reason. They are naturally soft on nonstick surfaces, won’t react with acidic foods, and are gentle enough to preserve the pan’s coating. However, be mindful that wooden utensils should be cleaned properly and not left soaking, as they can retain moisture.
3. Nylon Utensils – Affordable and Non-Abrasive
Nylon utensils are another safe option for nonstick pans. They are affordable, lightweight, and non-abrasive, meaning they won’t damage the pan’s surface. However, they aren’t as heat-resistant as silicone, so ensure you don’t leave them in contact with very high heat for long periods to avoid melting or warping.
4. Utensils to Avoid: Metal
Metal utensils, such as stainless steel spatulas or forks, should be avoided at all costs when cooking with nonstick pans. Even the smallest scratch from metal can strip away the nonstick layer, rendering your pan less effective. Stick to softer materials like silicone or wood to keep your pans in excellent condition.
