A non-stick coating stops your food from sticking to the bottom of your pan. Nowadays, you'll find all kinds of pans on the market with different types of non-stick coatings. Some have a plastic non-stick coating, others a natural non-stick coating and there are even pans with a ceramic non-stick coating. Make sense? Pans with a plastic non-stick coating are probably the most well-known because they are easy to use and maintain. A pan with a natural non-stick coating requires more care but is healthier and longer lasting. You will discover more about the different non-stick coatings in our blog article.
Did you know that each metal reacts differently when used on different heat sources such as gas, electric, halogen or induction? If used incorrectly, your pan can even warp.

You can safely put your pan in the oven, too. Our cast iron and carbon steel pans can even be used on a bbq or open fire.
As well as the choice of materials, there is also the type of pan to consider. For each material type, there are different pan types: frying pan, wok/wadjan, casserole, skillet, grill pan, crêpe pan, party pan and even a Dutch mini pancakes pan.
