Good electrical conductivity poor insulator good thermal conductivity poor.
Ceramic vs metal processing.
Also bear in mind the finish of your metal pans.
The crystallinity of ceramic materials ranges from highly oriented to semi crystalline vitrified and often completely amorphous e g glasses.
Most ceramic coatings are electrically nonconductive making them excellent insulators have a significantly higher level of abrasion resistance than most metals and are capable of maintaining their integrity under severely elevated temperatures.
Metals property ceramics.
Opaque optical properties transparent.
Low shear strength high.
Common examples are earthenware porcelain and brick.
There are a wide range of ceramic coating materials that can be applied to metal components in order to enhance their functional properties.
Metal heats up quickly and is a better conductor of heat than glass.
Yes crystalline yes free roaming valence electrons tied up in bonds.
Metallic type of bonding ionic covalent.
This means your food will have a more browned color and crispy edges.
Because of their inherent brittleness ceramics cannot be formed by rolling extrusion drawing etc their high melting temperatures also add restrictions on the use of casting techniques.
Keep in mind that aluminum or steel reacts with acidic foods so stick to glass and ceramic when baking with tomatoes or citrus.
There are many ceramic brands available to chefs and a high quality ceramic knife will cost less than a similar knife made from fully forged stainless steel.
Ceramic processing the higher performance of ceramics is the result of strict contr ol of purity composition microstructure and processing.
