At DaTerra Cucina, we believe the pan you cook with is just as important as the ingredients you put inside it. So let’s break down the differences and help you decide which one truly belongs in your kitchen.
Teflon-coated pans have been in kitchens for decades. Known for their slick, easy-release surface, they make flipping eggs or sautéing veggies nearly effortless.
Pros of Teflon:
Extremely non-stick, even with little to no oil
Easy to clean
Affordable and widely available
Cons of Teflon:
Can scratch and chip over time
Not safe at 464F -750F which is only 2-5 minutes preheating on a home stove. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) releases at least six toxic gases, including two carcinogens, two global pollutants, and MFA, a chemical lethal to humans at 680F.
PTFE falls under a larger category of chemicals called PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals” which are found in the blood of people and animals all over the world. PFAS have been linked with multiple health issues.
For many, Teflon feels convenient — but its delicate surface and potential health questions leave room for hesitation.
Ceramic cookware has grown in popularity as a cleaner, greener alternative. Unlike Teflon, ceramic coatings are made from natural materials like sand, giving them a smooth, glass-like finish.
Pros of Ceramic:
Naturally non-stick without harsh chemicals
Free from PFAS, PTFE and PFOA
Can handle higher heat better than Teflon
Sleek, modern look that brightens your kitchen
Cons of Ceramic:
Non-stick performance may fade faster if not cared for properly
Prefers lower-to-medium heat for long-lasting results
Ceramic is the choice for home cooks who want both safety and peace of mind while still enjoying the ease of non-stick.
We didn’t invent ceramic cookware — but we’ve shaped it to fit the needs of today’s kitchens. Inspired by Italy’s tradition of cooking with love and simplicity, our pans are built for everyday families, Sunday gatherings, and the quiet weeknight dinners where real memories are made.
Here’s what sets DaTerra ceramic cookware apart:
Safe for Your Family – 100% free from PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. You cook with confidence knowing nothing harmful touches your food.
Built to Last – A reinforced ceramic surface that resists scratches and stays reliable, even with daily use.
Everyday Versatility – From searing salmon on the stovetop to baking lasagna in the oven, our pans adapt to whatever you’re making.
Less Fuss, More Flavor – Naturally non-stick, so you can use less oil, clean up in minutes, and focus on the joy of cooking.
Italian-Inspired Beauty – Cookware designed not only to perform, but to look beautiful on your stove and your table.
These pans are for the busy mom who wants healthier meals without extra steps. For the couple perfecting their Sunday pasta recipe. For the home cook who believes safe, honest cookware matters as much as fresh ingredients.
With ceramic designed this way, you don’t just get a pan — you get cookware that keeps up with your life, your family, and your love for food.
It depends on your priorities:
If low price and convenience are your main goals, Teflon still works.
If health, safety, and durability matter more, ceramic is the better choice.
We’ve made our choice clear: ceramic wins for its balance of safety, beauty, and everyday performance.
The right pan doesn’t just cook your food — it shapes your kitchen experience. Whether you’re flipping pancakes on a slow Sunday morning or preparing a big family meal, the cookware you use should give you confidence, not worry.
That’s why our ceramic pans are designed to help you cook with peace of mind: safe, durable, eco-friendly, and crafted with the heart of Italian cooking in mind. It’s not just cookware. It’s part of your table, your family, and your story.
