It is not recommended. Because this tool is made of stainless steel, it can easily scratch or damage the coating on non-stick cookware. It works best on cast iron, stainless steel, or carbon steel surfaces.

The handle is designed for standard grilling and stovetop use, but it can get hot if left directly on the cooking surface for extended periods. We recommend using a grill glove or mitt when handling it during long cooking sessions.
