People often wonder whether the extra price they are paying for nonstick cookware is actually worth it. But it is hard to answer this question with a simple yes or no. In fact, it depends on how you use it. If you are buying cookware for your home, the convenience factor takes precedence. You probably want to get over with the cooking as fast as you can and get some rest. In that case, nonstick pans are the ideal option. The problem with nonstick cookware is that they are not durable. The coating starts to flake off after a few years. And when it comes to professional cooks, it will be a matter of a few months before the nonstick cookware becomes completely useless.
