A:Answer Hello, thank you for your inquiry.
For our Oster Clairborne 10.25 Inch Aluminum Sauté Pan with Lid, which features a non-stick interior, we strongly recommend avoiding metal utensils during normal use.
Non-stick coatings (like the one on this pan) are designed to give you effortless release and easy cleanup, but they can scratch or wear down if metal spatulas, spoons, or forks scrape against the surface. These scratches may reduce the effectiveness of the non-stick finish over time and could eventually shorten the life of the pan.
Best practice:
Use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to protect the coating.
Avoid cutting food directly in the pan with knives.
Hand-wash with a soft sponge and avoid abrasive cleaners.
If you have any more inquiries, please reach out to us via chat or the Contact Us form on our official Oster website. We’re available Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm Eastern Time.
Thank you, and please stay safe!
