Back in the day, people relied on Teflon coating for non-stick cookware, but as technology advances, the coatings for non-stick cookware have also developed rapidly. Alternatives to Teflon began to make their way into the market in order to provide consumers with greener and safer options. After all, Teflon is known to release toxic fumes when heated to a certain temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As this became common-knowledge people desperately started\nlooking for a safer alternative, that\u2019s when ceramic cookware began to dominate\nthe market. But should you just jump in and throw away all your Teflon\ncookware? Let\u2019s us first look weigh in the pros and cons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ceramicware like every product out there has it’s good and bad. So, before diving in and replacing all your cookware with ceramic ones take a look at the pros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Non-Toxic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Like Thermalon, the ceramic coating is made of natural minerals. Thermalon\u2019s non-stick layer is derived from the sand that goes through a manufacturing process that does not use PFAS or PFOA. Because it is made from natural minerals, the coating also has no lead or cadmium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
What this means is that there are no toxic fumes to breathe in when you overheat your pan. Overheating is a common occurrence when cooking and sometimes, it can be hard to resist cranking up the heat, especially when we are in a hurry. So, unlike Teflon, the ingredients that go into the non-stick ceramic coating are natural and the result is toxic-free cookware that does not release fumes that could be harmful to the environment as well as your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even without the use of toxic chemicals, the cooking surface of the ceramic cookware remains slick and smooth. There are plenty of commercials that show how easy it is to cook using this type of cookware. You can scope out food with little to no oil. While you can also fry eggs with stainless steel pans without sticking, you do need to use enough oil or butter to cover the whole cooking surface. If you\u2019re into eating healthy and less greasy then ceramic cookware is certainly for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Easy To Clean<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
When there\u2019s no food stuck on the pan it becomes extremely\neasy to clean up. Just a simple wipe with a damp cloth after cooking will be\nable to get rid of all the residues. Scrubbing isn\u2019t needed when it comes to\nwashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Affordable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Compared to any cookware out their ceramic cookware is most\naffordable. They can range from Rs. 500-100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, there are a few expensive ones too that will\nrange above 2000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ceramic Cookware: <\/strong>Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Short Lifespan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are generally complaints when it comes to the durability of the non-stick ceramic coating. It tends to wear off quicker even when plenty of oil is used. There is still much room for improvement in this area given the frequency of the complaints across all brand names. Teflon over time leads to the same tear leaving the cookware useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flimsy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Ceramic cookware is lightweight, if they are tri-ply construction, they tend to be on the thinner side. Even with the cheap ones, you will get a flimsy feel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lightweight, however, isn\u2019t all bad because some people prefer it as they are easier to handle. With solid cookware, it tends to get heavy when it\u2019s filled with food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having said that though, some people do prefer lightweight\ncookware because they are easier to handle. When filled with food solid\ncookware tend to get heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Handwash Recommended<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You may own ceramic cookware sets that claim to be\ndishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to wash them with hands to prolong\nthe longevity of the coating. You may not be able to claim warranty if you face\nproblems with coating after putting it into a dishwasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low To Medium Heat\nOnly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With ceramic cookware, you must use it on low to medium heat only. High heat can damage the coating, and this curbs the flexibility to crank up the heat for certain recipes or when you are in a hurry. No doubt different types of pans are best for different uses. You have limitations when it comes to heat levels, which means you require stainless steel pans in your kitchen for certain foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
