What non-stick coating do your pots and pans have?

A non-stick coating is handy when frying or sautéing and and makes cleaning easier. We use two types on our aluminium pots and pans:

PTFE (WHITFORD) NONSTICK COATING:

We use a PTFE coating from Whitford for some of our non-stick coatings. PFTE offers low friction and can withstand high temperatures, making it a great option when you need something that is non-stick. However, it is a little sensitive to scratching and too high a cooking temperature will ruin the coating. The PTFE used in our products is PFOA free. PTFE is the best choice for most standard food preparation and temperature sensitive ingredients such as eggs.

NON-STICK CERAMIC COATING

Ceramic coating is a great choice for outdoor cooking as it is tough and can handle the high heat of a gas flame or open fire safely. Ceramic coating is the best all around choice for cooking and heavy frying.

NO COATING

Anodised, uncoated aluminium is used in our cookware where the primary use is to heat or boil water, without frying or sautéing. Note that these pots should not be used with very salty or acidic foods as these will corrode the material. This is the best choice for boiling water.
