①: PFOA coating (PTFE): This is the representative of the traditional non-stick pan. It has good anti-adhesion and wear resistance, and can easily cook various foods. However, PFOA is a chemical substance, which may release harmful gases at high temperature (especially over 260°C or 500°F). These gases are considered to be harmful to human health, so special care should be taken when using PFOA coated non-stick pan to avoid releasing harmful substances at high temperature.

Teflon coating: Teflon coating is an improvement of traditional PFOA coating. It has better heat resistance and is not easy to release harmful substances at high temperature, so Teflon coating is a relatively safer choice. However, it should be noted that although Teflon coating is safer, it may still produce a small amount of harmful gases at extremely high temperatures (over 350°C or 662°F).
③
Ceramic coating: Ceramic coating is a relatively new type of non-stick pan coating with the characteristics of non-toxicity, environmental protection and high temperature resistance. Ceramic coating is made of ceramic particles and does not contain harmful substances such as PFOA, so it will not release harmful gases at high temperature. However, ceramic coatings are fragile, easy to scratch and wear-resistant, and need to be used and maintained more carefully.

When choosing a non-stick pan, you should decide which coating to use according to your personal needs and cooking habits. Teflon coating is usually a relatively safe and practical choice, suitable for most cooking needs. If we pay more attention to health factors, ceramic coating may be a better choice. No matter which coating is selected, correct use and maintenance is the key, which can prolong the service life of non-stick pan and ensure its best performance.
