Top 5 Ceramic Pans For Your Kitchen: Enjoy Hassle-Free Cooking

The criterion for your choice of ceramic pans for cooking:

• Base material: Ceramic can be coated in varied materials such as cast iron to aluminium which also leads to varied prices. If you are starting with ceramic cookware, stainless steel is a good choice as it is at a lower price point.
• No handles: Avoid any ceramic pans with handles as they can be an entryway for water and degrade the ceramic coating and cookware.  
• Size and weight of the ceramic pan: Ceramic pans are heavier than other types of cookware so it’s better to choose a convenient model according to the majority of food types cooked in your household. Choose a pan that is no more than 2 kg with a lid.
• Coating method: As there are two coatings in ceramic pans, there are two methods used for coating. One is the stamping method which is cheaper and a ceramic layer is rolled onto a metal sheet and the shape is squeezed out. The second method is spraying, which is applied to the finished base and solidified. This provides strength and smoothness to the pans.
• Colour: A ceramic pan’s inner surface is usually a light beige colour. However modern types of glaze are any colour so even a grey or black coating works.
• Handles: You can get ceramic pans with metal handles that have a heat-resistant coating or silicon or plastic ones. Metal handles last the longest. 
• Care options: Be sure to read instructions on how your ceramic pan can be washed and if a dishwasher can be used. It is not recommended to use abrasive detergents for washing your ceramic pan.
