What are PTFE non-stick coatings?

PTFE is the abbreviation for polytetrafluorethylene. This compound is used under various trade names for non-stick coatings on cooking, roasting and baking utensils. The most distinctive characteristic of PTFE-coated frying pans, baking tins and other cookware is the slightly waxy surface. What makes PTFE coatings so special are their durability and outstanding non-stick qualities.

TOP COOKER PTFE coatings are always PFOA-free.

Which non-stick qualities do ceramic coatings have?

Initially, ceramic coatings also have good non-stick properties which can be improved even further by using a little fat or oil. However, over time, the non-stick properties wear off, a process that is accelerated by cleaning in a dishwasher. For this reason, we recommend washing by hand. This is no problem, because the coating ensures even stubborn residues wash off easily.

What distinguishes cermic coatings?

Ceramic-coated cookware is extremely heat-resistant - up to 400 °C/752 °F. It is also very hard and scratch-resistant, although only impact-resistant to a certain extent, i.e. it is susceptible to knocks on the edges. Due to its high acid-resistance, ceramic-coated cookware is ideal for acidic foods such as spinach, curry, tomato or chilli dishes. Searing can be done wonderfully in ceramic-coated cookware too. The degree of browning is comparable to that of stainless steel cookware, but ceramic coatings are much easier to clean. Induction-capable cookware with ceramic coating has the further advantage that the rapid initial heating from one moment to the next by the induction cooker does not damage the highly heat-resistant coating.

Is cookware with non-stick coating harmless for people?

Yes! Aluminium cookware from TOP COOKER is ideal for people with allergies. The non-stick coating is non-toxic and does not affect the human organism at all. TOP COOKER pots and pans made of aluminium are also practically nickel-free because no nickel is added to the coating. There are traces of nickel below the measurable limit in aluminium, just as there are everywhere in the natural world. But these traces do not lead to allergic reactions. This means there is finally a great alternative for the large group of people who are allergic to nickel!

Are TOP COOKER products oven safe?

All products with S.S handles are completely oven-proof because the handles are made of the same heat-resistant S.S material. In contrast, all products with plastic handles are only oven-proof up to a temperature of 160 °C/320 °F. We advise against using cookware with wooden handles in the oven because this causes the wood to dry out and become porous.

Can the pans work in dish washer?

An optimal life of the cookware is achieved if you dispense with a cleaning in the dishwasher. The cleaning agents are often too aggressive and attack the material in the long term.

For cleaning, hot water, detergent and a soft sponge are sufficient. For sealed cookware, wiping with a kitchen towel is not enough. Fat remnants must be completely removed as otherwise they may burn into the seal on renewed heating and cause overheating damage.
