Which non-stick coating should I choose?
The main difficulty when choosing a non-stick frying pan is the type of coating. It can be different and very different in characteristics, quality and service life. Therefore, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the most common non-stick coatings before purchasing.
- Teflon. Teflon pans were the very first to appear. A black coating (polytetrafluoroethylene) is mainly applied to aluminum cookware. Its non-stick properties are excellent - you can cook food even without oil, it will not stick to the bottom. A big drawback of Teflon pans is that the coating is very unstable, it must be handled very carefully. It is afraid of metal spatulas, abrasive detergents, too rough sponges. But this disadvantage is offset by a lower price compared to other, more modern types of coatings. It is widely believed that highly heated and damaged Teflon releases toxic substances. This belief may be true for unknown cheap brands of dubious quality. Time-tested manufacturers offer completely safe cookware.
- Ceramics. The most environmentally friendly coating. It has a lot of advantages - it warms up quickly, does not require the obligatory use of oil, and is more practical than Teflon. You can safely use metal shovels and hard sponges. But ceramics also have their own whims - they are afraid of falls, shocks, strong temperature changes. But if you handle the pan with care, it will last for many years.
- Marble and granite. These are two advanced Teflon coatings. Marble or granite chips are added to it. Due to superhard mineral particles, the coating acquires strength, heats up faster and more evenly, looks good, and is distinguished by its durability.
- Titanium. Based on titanium oxide, a very durable coating with excellent non-stick properties has been developed. In terms of characteristics, titanium pans are very similar to cast iron. Thanks to uniform heating and long-term retention of heat, a crust is formed even without the use of oil. You can safely use metal spatulas, wash the pan with any detergent, clean with coarse washcloths. The main disadvantage of a titanium non-stick coating is its high cost.
