Non-Stick Cookware: What Is It?

In summary, non-stick cookware is cooking equipment that has a special coating to prevent food from sticking. This coating creates a smooth and slippery surface, making cooking and cleanup easier and reducing the need for excess fats and oils. Non-stick cookware is generally safe to use, but it's important to follow care instructions to avoid damaging the coating. It may not be compatible with all stovetops, so it's important to check the manufacturer's instructions. To maintain the non-stick coating, it's recommended to hand wash with mild soap and water and avoid using harsh scrubbers.

OK, thanks. DuPont Autograph 2. What does that mean, exactly? So it isn't teflon?
 
DuPont is the same company that makes Teflon. Kind of like Ford makes Escorts and Mustangs. The way it has been explained to me is that the Autograph coating is baked on rather than sprayed on (like Teflon), which means that if the coating is scratched, it will not flake off. I found this about Autograph 2 on DuPont's website: http://www2.dupont.com/Teflon/en_US/assets/downloads/pdf/h93585_Autograph2_fact_sheet.pdfand this about Teflon: http://www2.dupont.com/Teflon/en_US/products/cookware_coatings/index.htmlThere's a great cookware selling guide on CC: https://www.pamperedchef.com/repsonly/images/cc/us/pdf/cookware_training_insert.pdf

Related to Non-Stick Cookware: What Is It?

1. What is non-stick cookware?

Non-stick cookware is a type of cooking equipment that has a special coating that prevents food from sticking to the surface. This coating is typically made of materials like Teflon or ceramic and allows for easy release of food without the need for excess oil or butter.

2. How does non-stick cookware work?

The non-stick coating on the cookware creates a smooth and slippery surface, which prevents food from sticking. This makes it easier to cook and clean up, as well as reducing the need for added fats and oils while cooking.

3. Is non-stick cookware safe to use?

Yes, non-stick cookware is generally safe to use. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and care to avoid damaging the coating. Overheating the cookware or using metal utensils can cause the non-stick coating to chip or flake off, which can be harmful if ingested.

4. Can non-stick cookware be used on all stovetops?

Not all non-stick cookware is suitable for use on all stovetops. Some types may not be compatible with induction stovetops, for example. It is important to check the manufacturer's instructions or product packaging to ensure that the cookware is safe for use on your specific stovetop.

5. How should I clean and maintain my non-stick cookware?

To maintain the non-stick coating and extend the lifespan of your cookware, it is recommended to hand wash with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh scrubbers or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the coating. Also, do not stack non-stick cookware on top of each other, as this can cause scratches and chips. If properly cared for, non-stick cookware can last for many years.
