DOTING OVER COATING - WHICH TYPE OF COOKWARE IS BEST FOR YOU?
One of the most important features to pay attention to when purchasing cookware is the coating, or the interior cook surface of the pan. At Ecolution, we have a plethora of coatings to suit every need- from the novice home cook to the professional chef.
We responsibly manufacture all of our products, and one of the ways we do that is with the way we apply our coatings to the pans. Instead of using harsh chemicals to bond the coating to the pan, we use plain old water. Using water ensures that dangerous chemicals don’t get evaporated into our delicate atmosphere, preserving our environment and reducing emissions.
Now that we have covered how the coatings are applied, lets move on to the different types of coatings we have to offer.
HYDROCERAMIC™
Our Hydroceramic coating is used on our Bliss non-stick ceramic pans and offers durable, scratch and stain-resistant surface. Our Hydroceramic coating is one of our most popular because it’s considered to be a very safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly option. There’s no need to use oil when using our non-stick Hydroceramic pans, allowing for easy clean-up and healthier foods with less fat.
HYDROLON®
Our Hydrolon coating is used on our Artistry, Elements, Evolve, Symphony and Terra lines. Hydrolon is super easy to clean and dishwasher safe, perfect for the busy cook who wants easy clean-up. Hydrolon is a multi-layer non-stick that is durable and can withstand the test of time. All coats use water as the main solvent, reducing emissions, and the non-toxic coating is a safe solution for healthy and eco-friendly cooking. The coating is also PFOA-free
TITANIUM GUARD™
The Titanium Guard coating, exclusive to Ecolution Cookware, is PTFE-free and PFOA-free, and is used on the new Ecolution Endure cookware line. Our new Titanium Guard coating is a non-stick pan coating that blends copper, ceramic and titanium to create a durable, long lasting coating that features superior abrasion resistance, allowing users to use metal utensils on the non-stick coating without scratching or damaging the pan.
FREE + CLEAR™
The Free + Clear coating is Ecolution’s exclusive surface coating made without BPA, PFOA or PTFE, and is applied to every piece in our BakeIns line. The non-stick surface offers easy food release and bakes and browns evenly. The surface coating is dishwasher safe to allow for easy cleaning.
STAINLESS STEEL
Popular among professional chefs, stainless steel is durable, beautiful, easy to use and is non-reactive, so it will not impact flavor. Our stainless steel cookware is PFOA free, lead free and cadmium free and suitable for all cooking surfaces. The stainless steel is non-porous, so it won’t corrode, chip rust or tarnish, staying beautiful for years of use. As an added bonus, stainless is also oven safe up to 450 degrees, making it a versatile option.
CAST IRON
Our cast iron is more of a material than a coating, but since the pan’s cooking surface is raw cast iron, we’ll include it. Cast iron is used on our FarmhouseTM cast iron cookware, and is ideal for frying and simmering. Cast iron is durable, oven safe and, contrary to popular belief, when seasoned and cared for correctly, is very non-stick and easy to clean. Cast Iron is great for indoor use, stovetop or outdoor cooking, and it’s oven safe to 500 degrees. Cast iron offers superior heat distribution and retention, and come pre-seasoned with vegetable oil. Made from all natural material, they are oven-to-table ready, indoor chic & outdoor tough.
CARBON STEEL
Similar to cast iron, carbon steel is a material, but since the carbon steel is the cooking surface, we will include it in our coatings breakdown. Carbon steel is used on our Hong Kong Chopstick House woks and some of our paella pans. Carbon steel can withstand high heat for cooking, because the heat passes through the steel, offering low heat conductivity. Carbon steel needs to be properly cleaned and seasoned, just like cast iron. The heavy-duty gauge carbon steel heats quickly and evenly, and the PFOA free non-stick coating adds to its convenience. Carbon steel is also dishwasher safe for easy clean up.
BEFORE YOU BUY
Think about the ways you will be using your cookware before making a decision. Some cooks prefer to use different types of coatings or materials for different uses. For example, since stainless steel doesn’t impact taste, it’s perfect for making broths, soups, sauces and boiling pasta or potatoes, while cast iron is great for frying and non-stick pans are great for eggs. Making sure your cookware is functional for your needs is important when making a buying decision.
