Common Materials And Styles

Most cookware falls into three main categories including stainless steel, non-stick, and cast iron. Stainless steel skillets are popular in restaurant kitchens because they offer durability and even heating. Cast-iron skillets and casserole pots withstand high heat well for searing and frying tasks.

Non-Stick And Other Options

Non-stick pans often use PTFE chemicals to allow easy cleaning with less oil. Some versions feature a ceramic coating instead of chemical treatments. Carbon steel acts as a lightweight hybrid between stainless steel and cast iron.

Specialty Metals And Uses

Copper is valued for its sensitive heat conductivity in high-end French kitchens. Titanium is selected specifically for its long-term durability properties. Choosing the right pan depends on the specific cooking hob and task.
