Browse cookware by material

Compare stainless steel, ceramic coatings, nonstick and cast iron. Check the exact product’s cooking surface, care and oven limits.

How the materials differ

Ceramic-coated cookware

Ceramic-coated cookware is a coating over a metal pan, not solid ceramic cookware. The coating does not establish oven or induction limits.

Stainless clad cookware

Clad cookware bonds metal layers through the body. Disk-base cookware places its heat-spreading layer at the bottom.

Hybrid cookware

Hybrid cookware combines a coated surface with a metal pattern or structure. Coating-specific care still applies.

Cast iron cookware

Seasoned and enameled cast iron need different care. Seasoned pans maintain an oil-derived layer; enameled pans have an enamel surface.

Nonstick cookware

Conventional nonstick has a coated cooking surface. Its metal body, induction declaration and oven limit are separate specifications.
