Cast Iron

StarStarStarStar

Excellent heat retention and durability, prone to rust without proper seasoning, ideal for high-heat cooking.

Glass

StarStarStarStar

Does not react with food, offers clear visibility for monitoring cooking, poor conductor of heat and can break with thermal shock.

StarStarStarStar

Copper

StarStarStarStar

Superior thermal conductivity, heats up quickly and evenly, expensive, reactive to acidic foods.

Ceramic

StarStarStarStar

Even heat distribution, naturally non-stick, can be used for storing and serving food, not as heat-tolerant as other materials.

StarStarStarStar

Silicone

StarStarStarStar

Flexible, non-stick, heat-resistant up to certain temperatures, not ideal for browning or searing foods.

Non-Stick (e.g., Teflon)

StarStarStarStar

Easy food release and cleanup, uses less oil for cooking, not suitable for high-heat applications.

Carbon Steel

StarStarStarStar

Lighter than cast iron, heats up and cools down quickly, requires seasoning to become non-stick, can rust without proper maintenance.

StarStarStarStar

Aluminum

StarStarStarStar

Lightweight, excellent conductor of heat, relatively inexpensive, may react with acidic or alkaline foods.
