The term “non-stick” is rightfully explained by its name. Non-stick cookware is basically an aluminum or steel cookware with a Teflon coating on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teflon is chemically known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)<\/a>, a polymer based on carbon and fluorine. When heated above 260\u00b0C, the polymer starts to break down and decomposes at 350\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Teflon coating on the non-stick cookware surface prevents food from sticking to the body. You can quickly fry or brown your ingredients and get the desired texture. The best non-stick cookware<\/a> will guarantee you a hassle-free cooking experience.<\/p>\n\n\n
