Cookware Set surface is a surface engineered to reduce the ability of other materials to stick to it.
Non-stick cookware is a common application, where the non-stick coating allows food to brown without sticking to the pan.
coating cookware sets are types of food preparation dishes, commonly found in a kitchen.
Cookware comprises cooking vessels, such as saucepans and frying pans, intended for use on a stove or range cooktop.
The choice of material for cookware items has a significant effect on the item’s performance (and cost), particularly in terms of thermal conductivity and how much food sticks to the item when in use.
Some choices of material also require special pre-preparation of the surface—known as seasoning—before they are used for food preparation.
Both the cooking pot and lid handles can be made of the same material but will mean that, when picking up or touching either of these parts, oven gloves will need to be worn.
A good cooking pot design has an ‘overcook edge’ which is what the lid lies on.
The lid has a dripping edge that avoids condensation fluid from dripping off when handling the lid (taking it off and holding it 45°) or putting it down.

Uses and limitations
With other types of pans, some oil or fat is required to prevent hot food from sticking to the pan’s surface. Food does not have the same tendency to stick to a non-stick surface; pans can be used with less, or no, oil, and are easier to clean, as residues do not stick to the surface.
Non-stick pans must not be overheated. The coating is stable at normal cooking temperatures, even at the smoke point of most oils; however, if a non-stick pan is preheated while empty, its temperate may quickly exceed 260 °C (500 °F), above which the non-stick coating may begin to deteriorate, changing color and losing its non-stick properties.
Above 350 °C (662 °F), the material decomposes rapidly and emits toxic fumes, which are especially toxic to birds, and can cause polymer fume fever in humans.
On the other hand, some sticking is needed to cause sacs to form, so a non-stick pan cannot be used where a pan sauce is desired.
Nonstick coatings tend to degrade over time.
In order to preserve the coating, it is important never to use metal implements or harsh scouring pads or chemical abrasives when cleaning.
