Ceramic cooking pot

Ceramic cooking pot: rice and pasta that simply come away

A ceramic cooking pot from Cook & Pan is a light aluminium cooking pot with a smooth ceramic non-stick coating, without PFAS, PFOA or PTFE. Rice that sat a little too long, pasta that stuck or a sauce that caught: with a drop of oil and warm water it comes away. In our Honey line the same coating sits on stainless steel, and our cast iron dutch ovens have an enamel layer that is just as smooth.

How does a ceramic non-stick coating work?

The coating is made of silicon oxide, a mineral also found in sand and glass. It is applied to the pot at high temperature and cured into a smooth, hard layer. No plastic and no polymer, so nothing from the coating ends up in your food, even if you let soup simmer for hours.

Which ceramic cooking pot suits you?

• Cooking pot with lid 20 cm: the small pot for rice, a portion of pasta or sauce for two.
• Cooking pot with lid 22 cm: the everyday size, for potatoes and vegetables for a family.
• Cooking pot with lid 24 cm: the large pot for soup, pasta for four or a one-pot dish.
• Honey cooking pot with lid, stainless steel: the same ceramic coating on a sturdy stainless steel body with an extra-thick base. Scratch-resistant and made for induction.
• Cast iron dutch oven with enamel layer: for stews that can simmer for hours, in the oven too. See the ceramic casserole pots.

The benefits of cooking with a ceramic cooking pot

• Light in the hand: draining a full pot of pasta takes no effort.
• Quick to the boil: aluminium conducts heat fast, so you wait less.
• Easy to clean: stuck-on rice comes away after a short soak in warm water.
• Glass lid: you see what's happening without losing heat.

Keeping your ceramic cooking pot smooth for longer

A ceramic coating is hard, but it doesn't like shocks. Let the pot cool down a little before rinsing it, use wooden or silicone utensils and preferably wash by hand with a soft sponge. The cooking pot can go in the dishwasher, but washing by hand keeps the coating looking good for longer.
