Not Kevin, but he was talking about the equipment you use to work with food while cooking in the pan, like spatula, tongs, whisks, forks, other turning implements, etc.
Using metal utensils can knick, scratch, affect the life of the non stick coating. Pro non stick holds up better overall, but is still affected over time.
Learning to toss, flip, slide, move the food without using utensils eliminates this sort of concern with non stick surfaces.
Using plastic, wood, or teflon coated utensils is a good work around until your skills improve.
