ceramic

Ceramic pans offer a smooth, PTFE‑free non‑stick surface with a clean, light appearance. They suit gentle to medium heat and excel at eggs, veg and reheats. Many models feature recycled aluminium bodies for even heating and induction‑ready bases for modern UK hobs. White or pale interiors make browning easy to judge, supporting consistent results for newer cooks. Use a little oil for best flavour and to protect the surface. Avoid thermal shock and let pans cool before washing. Non‑abrasive tools preserve the slick feel, and stacking with separators prevents marks. Ceramic shines as a friendly, low‑maintenance option within a mixed pan set alongside stainless and cast iron. For UK homes, ceramic’s easy clean‑up and fresh look simplify everyday cooking without the upkeep of traditional coatings. FAQ Q: Are ceramic pans PTFE-free? A: Yes—most ceramic coatings are PTFE‑ and PFOA‑free; check the specification for exact materials. Q: Can I use ceramic pans on induction? A: Many have magnetic bases; confirm compatibility and match the ring size to the pan for best results. Q: How do I maintain ceramic non-stick? A: Cook on medium heat, use soft utensils and avoid sudden temperature changes to keep the surface smooth.
