Nylons are the plastics used in non-stick cooking utensils. There are many different varieties of nylons, many of them patented. Heat resistance varies, but can be as high as 400º Fahrenheit.
Stainless steel utensils can easily scratch nonstick coatings. To be safe, use only plastic or wood utensils with nonstick cookware.
Hi there when using nonstick pans metal utensils shouldn't be used if the pan has only a layer of teflon non stick as this can be easily scratched away and damaged. If using a pan whit the teflon mixed in then you should be able to use metl utensils but be care full and take care.If in doubt just use plastic utensils.
So foods don't stick to them.

Teflon is not plastic; it is a synthetic material known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is nonstick due to its unique chemical structure, which provides a smooth and slippery surface that prevents food from sticking during cooking.

Utensils are made of metal for durability and heat resistance. Handles are made of plastic or wood to insulate heat and provide a comfortable grip. Wood handles are also less conductive of heat compared to metal.

Utensils can be categorized into various types based on their functions in cooking and dining. Common categories include cutting tools (like knives), stirring tools (such as spoons and spatulas), serving utensils (like tongs and ladles), and eating utensils (such as forks, knives, and spoons). Each type serves a specific purpose, enhancing the cooking and dining experience. Additionally, utensils can be made from various materials, including metal, wood, plastic, and silicone.
That all depends on your cookware. Most coated cookware requires the use of plastic utensils to ensure the coating isn't damaged. Most non-coated cookware can be used with metal utensils. Consult the packaging that came with your cookware for instructions or just simply be safe and use plastic.
