Whats the bets kind of utensils to use with Stainless steel cookware?

Question:I just bought a Faberware spatula and was making osme nachos and it melted the plastic (its suppose to be 415 degrees), but melted like butter.

So what should I use.
I cook alot using 2 inch greese with my stainless steel pans ( I love them - theyre like mini deep fryers)

But what will withstand the heat without messing up the pan.

I have one person saying, a metal spatula will scratch and damage them and another person saying using metal in stainless steel will create a PATINA? which they made sound a good thing.

So whos right?
What do you use with your stainless steel cookware?

Answers:
Use stainless steel utensils. They may scratch a bit, but they won't scratch it in such a way that you ruin your pans and make them unusable.

If you scratch nonstick, you have to toss it in the garbage. But if you scratch stainless, you can keep using it forever! I know, I know, you paid for really nice stainless and want to keep it pretty. but an unmarked pan is an unused pan. I don't know a single chef with stainless pans that are shiny and new looking. Mine certainly aren't.

Stainless utensils will NOT affect that cooking ability of your pans. Go for it.
