What is Cookware materials?

Cookware materials are the metals and coatings a brand uses across its pans and pots. Each behaves differently: cast iron and carbon steel heat fast and take on seasoning, stainless steel is durable and easy to clean, and ceramic and non-stick coatings need gentler heat and softer tools. A brand selling several materials lets you match a pan to the hob and the cook, while a single-material range keeps buying simple. B&Q spans stainless, cast iron and enamelled cast iron, and Denby sticks to cast iron.
