Abstract

A coating formed on a surface of an article, which is heated during use as typified by a cooking device, to accomplish catalytic oxidation decomposition of oil and grease spattered thereon. The coating is fundamentally a porous matrix layer of an inorganic binder having a matte surface and comprises, in the form of uniformly dispersed particles, an oxidation catalyst and a nondiscoloring material, for example a ferrite, which has the effect of concealing a change in color of the oxidation catalyst resulting from its catalytic action. Preferably the coating comprises additionally a solid acid catalyst such as a zeolite as a decomposition-inducing catalyst in order to acquire an improved catalytic self-cleaning ability at relatively low temperatures such as 200.degree.-300.degree. C.
