My husband says that the enamel used on our new pans (le creuset) cannot realistically be damaged by gentle contact with metal utensils because enamel is not that fragile.
I’ve read from a lot of different sources that metal utensils absolutely do scratch the enamel, even with a light touch, but I’ve never seen an explanation as to HOW they do this.

Keep in mind that some ‘scratches’ are actually the metal smearing on the glass enamel coating, as opposed to creating a small groove. Those dark streaks will likely come off with some Barkeeper’s Friend and a Magic Eraser.
