7 Chic Ceramic Pots And Pans That'll Reinvent Your Cooktop
The list of advantages of ceramic cookware is a long one with durability and reliability coming in on top. They easily transition from the stove to the table, courtesy of their often on-point aesthetics, doubling as perfectly apt serving ware. Typically stain- and scratch-resistant, ceramic pots and pans are a safer alternative to Teflon or other nonstick options, which often come with toxic chemical coatings. They're versatile enough to take on just about any of your culinary endeavors, be it braising, sautéing, frying, boiling ... or all the above. Even more so, there are a host of new brands coming out with fresh spins on the classics — think lighter in weight and dishwasher-safe. Here are a few of the most stylish options you can snag right now.
Our Place
Our Place has quickly become one of the most popular DTC (Direct-To-Consumer) cookware brands out there. Their design-forward Always Pan was crafted with the intention of replacing eight various culinary staples — it's a skillet, steamer, saucepan, saute pan, and so much more. It even includes a built-in spoon rest. Available in five muted, yet chic colorways, it's a high-performance essential you don't want to miss out on.
