Ceramic cookware consistes of a special mineral based coating applied to metal in much the same way as porcelain. A ceramic finish can be applied to steel, aluminum, stainless steel or cast iron, but only after the particular cookware has been formed. Ceramic cookware also offers a hard, brilliant finish that will not normally scratch, rust, fade or peel.

The typical Teflon non-stick coating popular on frying pans may, in fact, be an unsavory way to cook.
Though you may love your non-stick cookware for its reduced need for added fat, consider this: emerging studies are proving that Teflon-coated metal cooking implements, especially when used at high temperatures, may be leaking toxins into your dinner.
The space age non-stick solution
Among the most thermally shock-resistant material ever developed by man, ceramic is a true space-age material. Most of the ceramic cookware produced today comes with a glazed finish which produces a no-stick effect on the interiors. Ceramic cookware can be used for range top cooking and is excellent for roasting, broiling or baking -in the conventional or microwave oven. It can go directly from the freezer to the range top, broiler or hot oven.
Major features are attractiveness, one-dish convenience, and inert non-porous surfaces that won't absorb food odors or flavors. Like glass cookware, ceramic cookware holds heat for a long time while providing the additional benefit of an attractive serving dish.
Some people consider ceramic cookware items to be an important part of their overall cookware collection since they perform well in the microwave oven as well as the standard oven in their homes. |
Another advantage of ceramic cookware is the low price when compared to stainless steel and other metal cookware.
