Avoid these at all costs
You’ll find two types of nonstick coatings:
PTFE: This is a synthetic polymer that repels water and reduces friction. Not only is it used for cookware, it’s a common material in joint replacements. The most famous of this type of coating is Teflon, but a few companies make proprietary coatings for cookware. When talking about classic PTFE nonstick coating, two big names in the industry are Chemours (DuPont) and Whitford. Many brand-name cookware companies use a coating from one of these two companies. For instance, if this website is accurate, T-Fal uses Teflon and Cuisinart uses a coating called Quantanium by Whitford.
Ceramic: This type of coating uses silicone oil in the pores of the pan’s surface. This oil is eventually washed or cooked away and the pan loses its slickness. The biggest complaint about this type of cookware is it doesn’t last long. I asked friends and family how long their sol-gel cookware lasted and they all said about one year, and that they’d never buy it again.
