There are different sets available with different temperature levels. However, Ceramic Cookware can surely withstand more temperature than that of a Teflon.
PTFE and PFOA not present
The major concern to be taken into consideration in the absence of PTFE and PFOA is the porcelain glaze. This is because it contains lead which might be a serious threat to the person’s health.
Thus, it should be ensured that a Ceramic Cookware set is lead tested before actually purchasing it.
Durability
The quality of the Ceramic Cookwares becomes questionable when it comes to the durability of the set. This is because the non-stick coating of these Cookware sets is likely to wear off as the time passes. This, however, Will completely depend upon how it is used, handled and cleaned.
Incompatible with the Metal Utensils
The Metal Utensils don’t go well with the cookware sets which have a non-stick coating.

However, depending only on the use of Ceramic Cookware sets in the kitchen won’t be able to cater to all the needs of the consumer.
