Ceramic vs Teflon: What really cooks?

Cooking is not just a way to fill your stomach, but also a chance to be creative in the kitchen. And to do that, you need the right tools. One of the most important choices you make when picking cookware is what coating your pan has. Two popular options? Ceramic and Teflon. But what’s the difference, and why does Cook & Pan confidently choose ceramic?

Let’s take a closer look at the pots and pans and see which coating suits your cooking adventures best!

What exactly is Teflon?

Teflon, a brand name that has almost become synonymous with non-stick coatings, is the go-to coating if you want to quickly fry an egg without it sticking to the pan. Teflon is made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a plastic known for its super low friction. It makes food slide off the pan effortlessly and makes cooking nice and easy.

Advantages of Teflon:

• Easy to clean: Because food doesn’t stick, it’s super simple to wash your pan after use.
• Quick cooking: Since you need less oil or fat, you can prepare a healthy meal in no time.
• Affordable: Teflon pots and pans are often cheaper than ceramic ones, making them popular with beginner cooks.

Note: Teflon is not made for high temperatures. If your pan gets too hot (above 260°C), the coating can break down and release fumes you’d rather not have in your kitchen. And if scratched or damaged? It can release particles into your food. That’s not an ingredient you want.

Why ceramic is in our pots and pans

At Cook & Pan we have a clear preference – and that is ceramic! No Teflon, no PTFE, no doubt. Our non-stick coatings are strong, smooth, and resistant to high heat. You cook effortlessly with them, and cleaning is (almost) as fun as cooking itself.

Advantages of ceramic:

• Free from PFAS and PTFE: You cook without worries and without unnecessary chemicals in your pan.
• High heat resistance: Ceramic can handle a lot of heat. Perfect for grilling, frying, or creating a nice brown crust.
• Design with a purpose: Our ceramic pots and pans are not only practical but also a feast for the eyes. So nice, you’ll leave them on the stove on purpose.

A good ceramic pot or pan needs a little love – no sharp objects, no excessive scrubbing – and then you’ll enjoy it for years.

Why we steer clear of Teflon

We like to keep it clear and honest. Teflon may be easy, but there are risks you can’t ignore. Think of chemical fumes when overheated or micro particles when damaged. For us, reason enough to say: no thanks.

Our customers want to know what they’re cooking with – and with ceramic you know exactly what you’re getting: a strong, modern coating without questionable substances. Clean, stylish, and safe.

Which coating suits you?

If you’re all about quick convenience, Teflon might seem attractive. But if you choose, like us, control, comfort, and peace of mind with every meal, then ceramic is your best bet – literally.

You don’t have to choose between responsible and tempting. With the ceramic pots and pans from Cook & Pan you get both. And let’s be honest: the eye wants something too. Our colorful collection makes your kitchen look like a party, even before the first bite.

The Cook & Pan promise

At Cook & Pan we make cookware that not only works but really works for you. No compromises on quality, no hidden chemicals. Just honest pots and pans with a ceramic coating that sparks your creativity and makes your kitchen shine.

Teflon? Not our thing.
