You’ll find nonstick pans are either coated with Teflon or with ceramic. If you’re wondering whether one is better than the other, here’s what I’ve discovered with a bit of research and from using both Teflon and ceramic non-stick pans.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"a<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Is ceramic better than Teflon? Performance and price-wise, most users will agree, there’s little difference between these two nonstick cookware types. Where ceramic nonstick is better than Teflon is where it’s a PFAS-free option, making it is less worrisome for those who care about reducing the potential harm caused by PFAS substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Teflon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nonstick cookware started with Teflon, which goes back to 1938. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teflon is a trademark<\/a>. That’s why I have written it with a capital letter and you’ll sometimes see it with the trademark symbol TM<\/sup>, like here<\/a>. Teflon is used in cookware<\/strong>, but it has many other applications, including in the automotive industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The makers of Teflon, Chemours (a spin-off of DuPont), described Teflon as a synthetic resin of polymerized tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).1,2<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This PFTE formula is sprayed over a metal base<\/strong> (often of aluminum<\/a>) to provide a nonstick cooking surface for cookware suited to using less fat or oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
