Although the skill of the cook determines the quality of the dish, cookware is an essential part of the process, and consequently the focus and interest in cookware has risen over the years.

Ceramic pans are a great alternative to traditional non-stick options.  They are not entirely ceramic, but the final addition of glazed ceramic often looks stunning!  The latest technology has allowed the creation of oven proof models making them as versatile as stainless-steel cookware.

If you are in search of a non-stick cookware set with the ability to withstand hot temperatures, and one that is easy to clean with an impressive longevity, then a ceramic set is the best option for you!

Things to consider before buying 

Size of the set

When buying a cookware set you can usually get a great deal. When buying a new set, you may already have other pots and pans in other materials and may require more storage space. Cookware sets even include utensils and additional accessories which can result in sets ranging from 9 to 20 pieces. 

Most brands are offering a variety of sets, so you should be able to find what works best for you.

Material

Cookware should last a long time and ceramic cookware sets stand the test of time. Most brands combine materials and finish with a ceramic coating. 

Compatibility

Whether you cook on gas, electric or an induction hob, always verify if the cookware set chosen is compatible with your stove.  Gas or electric cookers can manage most cookware but not all cookware is induction compatible so double check with the manufacturer if the cookware is induction friendly. 

How to care for your cookware

Most people find it challenging not to scratch non-stick cookware. Ceramic is sturdy and very hard to damage but we still recommend being careful with metal utensils. Wash ceramic cookware by hand, even when it is dishwasher safe.
