How can metal utensils scratch enameled cast iron?

613 viewsEngineeringOther

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.

He’s right that gentle contact with metal will not scratch enameled cast iron. It’s also true that people aren’t always as gentle as they intend to be. So why take the risk?
