CERAMIC COOKWARE

Ceramic materials provide you with the best insulation in baking and stovetop cooking. If you make a souffle or custard in a metal mold it will have thicker or crustier exterior than it would in a ceramic mold. Ceramic bakeware insulates the batter and will make the crust softer. It also allows bean and potato dishes to cook over a long period of time to develop mellow flavors. Ceramic dishes keep crusts from over developing before the dish is cooked.
