Introduction
Pans are among the essential kitchen tools. They are found in every kitchen and allow for the preparation of a wide variety of dishes, from searing to gentle simmering. However, not every pan is equally suitable for every purpose. In this article, we compare different types of pans, including hybrid pans, enameled cast iron pans, ceramic pans, and non-stick pans. Find out which pan is the right one for your cooking needs.
Hybrid Pans: The Perfect Combination of Stainless Steel and Non-Stick
Our Silverstar Hybrid Pans are not classic stainless steel pans, but a unique combination of stainless steel and non-stick coating. They combine the advantages of both types of pans: stainless steel offers a robust, durable surface, while the non-stick coating ensures that food doesn’t stick and makes the pan easier to clean.
One important point when using stainless steel pans, whether classic or hybrid, is proper preheating. A well-preheated pan prevents food from sticking and ensures even cooking results. Especially for meat that should have a nice crust, the strength of these pans shines. Fish, however, is better cooked in a non-stick pan, as it tends to stick in stainless steel pans.
Advantages:
- Combination of stainless steel and non-stick coating
- Robust and durable
- Non-stick coating makes cooking and cleaning easier
When to use?
- For searing meat and vegetables
- For dishes where a crispy crust is desired
Enameled Cast Iron Pans: Tradition Meets Modern Technology
Cast iron pans are often considered classics for rustic dishes, but many people opt for non-stick pans for everyday use. Our Freyersbacher Cast Iron Pans with enamel coating, however, bring the benefits of cast iron without the drawbacks. Thanks to the enamel coating, these pans don’t need to be seasoned, significantly reducing maintenance effort. They still offer excellent heat retention and distribution, which makes cast iron pans so popular, and are perfect for slow cooking and simmering.
Advantages:
- No need for seasoning thanks to the enamel coating
- Excellent heat retention
- Versatile, suitable for use in the oven, grill, open fire, and wood-fired ovens
When to use?
- For slow cooking and simmering of meats and stews
- For grilling steaks or dishes that require prolonged heat exposure
Ceramic Pans: For Health-Conscious Cooking
Ceramic pans, like the STONELINE Ceramic Pans, are popular for their PFAS-, PTFE-, and PFOA-free non-stick coating. They allow for health-conscious cooking without releasing harmful chemicals. Although they provide good non-stick performance, you should still use some oil, as completely oil-free cooking is not ideal in ceramic pans. They are especially good for gentle cooking at medium heat and for frying delicate foods.
Advantages:
- PFAS-, PTFE-, and PFOA-free coating
- Health-conscious cooking
- Scratch-resistant and easy to clean
When to use?
- For frying delicate foods like fish, eggs, or vegetables
- For gentle cooking at medium heat
Non-Stick Pans: The Everyday All-Rounder
Non-stick pans are the most versatile pans in any kitchen. The STONELINE Non-Stick Pans stand out with their unique non-stick coating featuring real stone particles. These not only ensure exceptionally long-lasting non-stick performance but also give food a distinctive flavor—similar to cooking on a hot stone. Thanks to the non-stick coating, you can cook with little or no oil without food sticking.
Advantages:
- Durable non-stick coating with real stone particles
- Low-fat or fat-free frying possible
- Easy to clean and scratch-resistant
When to use?
- For low-fat or fat-free frying
- For everyday dishes like pancakes, vegetables, or eggs
- Ideal for delicate foods that tend to stick
