When shopping for cookware, people often wonder if they should opt for nonstick cookware or regular uncoated stainless steel. There’s much to consider when selecting new pots and pans (even eco-friendly cookware is an option), so it’s a good idea to understand the pros and cons to both varieties. It’s mostly a matter of personal preference—keep the foods you frequently cook in mind so you can select the best pans for the job.
While you can purchase almost any type of cookware online, if you’re new to the process, it’s best to go to a store. You’ll want to feel, lift, and inspect the quality of many different pans. It’s also helpful to see the pans in person in order to gauge the circumference of the cookware—sometimes online product photos do not give you a size scale for reference.
Nonstick
Nonstick cookware is easy to use and clean, as the slick coating helps to keep food from sticking, and it’s easy to clean afterward. Health-conscious cooks like that they can use a lot less oil than they would with uncoated cookware.
That helpful cooking surface also carries some potential risks. Certain scientists, environmentalists, and consumer advocacy groups have concerns about the chemicals used to make many of the nonstick coatings on the market, such as PTFE (most commonly known as Teflon). The chemical of most concern is PFOA. Fortunately, The Environmental Protection Agency asked major chemical manufacturers to phase out the use of PFOA, and Teflon has been PFOA-free since 2013.
