If you’re looking to switch from Teflon cookware to the healthier alternative, then ceramic cookware might be the best solution for you. While making this list, we were trying to find cookware sets that make a real balance between quality, price, and design. We hope you’ll find the one that best suits your needs.

Before jumping to the article, please have in mind:

• All the sets on the list are made using BPA, PFOA, lead, and cadmium free materials.
• Before making a final decision please read the most important things you should know before purchasing any of the ceramic cookware sets on the list, from the bottom of this article.

1. GreenLife Soft Grip Healthy Ceramic Nonstick Cookware

We’ll start our list with Amazon’s choice in the category. It comes from GreenLife, it’s pretty affordable and highly-rated as well. We must note it has a whole bunch of negative reviews, also, but it looks like controversy brings more attention, like in all other areas of life.

The base of the pots and pans in the set are made of recycled aluminum, and the interior is made with sand-derived Thermolon non-stick coating. The cookware comes with cool-touch handles, and with lids made of very durable glass. The four kitchen utensils that come in the package are made of nylon.

The pots and pans are oven-safe up to 350 degrees. While the items from this cookware are dishwasher safe, it’s recommended to hand wash them, using only warm water and dish soap.
The cookware is working just fine on ceramic and glass stovetops, actually all stovetops except induction. If you have an electric stovetop, please consider using it on low to medium heat only.

We must admit it’s the colors are warm and along with the design, this cookware set is nice to the eye.

2. FRUITEAM 13-Piece Cookware Set Non-stick Ceramic Coating Cooking Set

The next ceramic cookware set on our list comes from FRUITEAM. I would say that the main keyword for this cookware set is multi-layered. Premium interior consists of 5 layers of non-stick coatings and the bottom contains three induction-ready layers, which makes it suitable for use on any kind of cooktop. The outer layer is covered with anti-aging color, so, you don’t need to worry about discoloration. The lids are made of high-tempered glass, which is almost the standard for the products in this category. Also, the pots and pans are oven–safe up to 450 degrees.

Although it’s dishwasher-safe, it’s very easy to clean, so you won’t need anything more than dish soap and sponge to keep this cookware set clean.

The ergonomic handles are made of stainless steel and they could get very hot, so use proper protection before touching them.

We must admit, it’s our favorite since it makes a really good balance of quality and price. Plus, it fits nicely in my wife’s kitchen design.

3. Cuisinart Advantage Ceramica XT Cookware Set

Here we have another Amazon’s choice for the best ceramic cookware set. Another reason why we included it on our list is the ratings. It’s one of the highest-rated products in the category. The third reason is pretty silly – how to avoid Cuisinart when it comes to kitchenware?

The cookware has aluminum as the base, with a protective metallic exterior. The Interior is made of a titanium-reinforced ceramic non-stick coating. It has silicone cool-touch handles and high-tempered glass lids. This cookware is suitable for use on any kind of stovetop, including halogen stovetops. It’s oven-safe up to 350 degrees, dishwasher-safe and freezer-safe.

It comes in two color variants – dark grey and red – and although we’re big fans of red color, this time we would opt-in for a grey set.

Overall it’s a great product, and we highly recommend it.

4. BulbHead Red Copper 10 PC Copper-Infused Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware Set

To bring some more passion to the cooking process, here we have a nice-looking red cookware set.

As for the rest ceramic cookware sets on this list, this one uses aluminum as a base, too. The difference is in the coating. It has a strong copper-infused non-sticking coating. Another difference is that this cookware set is oven-safe up to 500 degrees, which is the highest temperature so far. On the other side, that means that handles are made of metal, so you need to be cautious when taking the pans and pots from the oven. They can get pretty hot. It’s dishwasher safe, but, as for the rest of the items on this list, we recommend you hand wash it.

The items in the set have a great performance, perfect heat distribution and they are suitable for use on almost any kind of stovetop.

5. Gotham Steel Premium Cookware Set with Ultimate Nonstick Ceramic & Titanium Coating

We’ve left this premium cookware set for the end. It has a really elegant design and great performance. It’s one of those cookware sets professionals use. The exterior of pots and pans is made of hard-anodized aluminum, far stronger than stainless steel, and the interior is made of titanium and ceramic non-stick coating. Some of the common features in this category are cool-touch handles; it’s dishwasher-safe and oven-safe and works on almost any kind of stovetop. The lids are made of high-quality break-resistant glass and they fit perfectly.

Overall, it’s a great product. If you’re hesitant about this set, don’t be, go ahead and purchase it. You won’t regret it.

Before Purchasing Ceramic Cookware You Should Know This

• Just like the iron, you need to keep ceramic cookware in a good condition.
• This one is really important: don’t use ceramic cookware on high heat. Otherwise, it will not last you long.
• Use wood, silicone, or nylon kitchen utensils to prevent scratches. Even on the outer surfaces, it’s recommended to use baking soda for stubborn stains with a soft scrub sponge instead of metal wires.
• Most ceramic cookware is dishwasher safe, but it’s very easy to clean using dish soap and a cloth, or sponge. That’s why we always recommend hand washing instead of using a dishwasher.
• Do not use spray oils with ceramic cookware. A non-sticking coating actually separates the oil from the food. You’re allowed to use oil, but not spray oils. The best solution, if you want to add some flavor to your meal is to put some butter on top and mix it in.
