I have been meaning, for some time, to treat myself to a new omelette pan, so today I saw a Prestige one and saw, on the packaging, that it said "metal utensil safe non stick interior". "Ooh good" I thought, "I can flip my omelettes with a metal palette knife! I'll buy it." I got home and looked on the other side of the packaging for the manufacturers guidances, and right at the bottom, it says "we recommend that you use wooden or heat resistant plastic utensils with your cookware. Use of metal utensils can damage the non-stick coating"! I have been looking for some time for a non-metal pallete knife and can't find one, and some of my non-metal turners are a bit big for a 20cm pan. Damage by use of metal objects also apparently negates the ten year guarantee. I am a bit ticked off to say the least by this misleading information.
