    I love ceramic. Since the base is aluminum, once the surface pits out, you'll have to throw them out though. I cook every day on mine and I typically get a year or two out of them. Don't use metal tools - melamine is OK though.
    I don't think ceramic is bad for you - it's earthenware.
    At AU$50 a pan, that's about as good a price as you can expect.

      I have a teflon pan. It's probably all bad for you. It probably all causes a little cancer. Usually the coatings are fine as long as you don't scratch them or leave an empty pan heating for too long. People used to smoke 2 packs a day and live with asbestos ceilings and lead paint on their walls and most of them turned out okay. I doubt a little coating will do you in. The microplastics will probably get you first anyways.

      should i just buy a stainless steel one? they seem to last longer despite being a bit pricey

        Everything fricking sticks to them. I never use my SS pan. Got some cast irons last year and fricked the first one up because I didn't know what I was doing seasoning it. The second one that I use every day now is great. No teflon, don.

          How do you duck up a CI so badly you have to throw it out? Did you fricking crack it?

          Stainless steel you need to heat the pan until water beads up when you drop water on it. Then a lot of oil, then food

            I haven't throw it out but I did use EVOO on it instead of vegetable oil. I'm guessing it's because of OO's higher smoke point and possibly didn't bake it long enough with oil coating but when I wipe it out after cooking there's like a film of nasty fats that come up every time. Once I start just trying to get that little bit of crud off more and more comes up until I'm fricking bringing the pan back to bare steel. I've really gotta scour it and start again

              EVOO has "impurities" in it like vitamins and minerals. Vegetable Oil is chemically stripped and distilled. Impurities like rust can also weaken the integrity of the seasoning. You have to make sure the surface is clean as possible before re-seasoning, so it doesn't keep flaking off.

                Only to season. You want a high smoke point oil, grapeseed oil. But for actual cooking you can use butter and animal fat.

          If you want some fancy collectable cast iron check out goodwills or thrift shops and look for Griswald cast iron. It's cool to own part of history. Can condition it back to new. And will hold its value as a collectible.

    I looked up what it's coated with and they are pretty hush hush about it. They coat using an inorganic polymer they make from sand.
    The only one on top of my mind is polydimethylsiloxane, which is thermally resistant but a) will be less durable than Teflon and b) not much healthier either.
    Personally I wouldn't buy a product that tries to make a "healthier" or "greener" alternative if they are not 100% transparent on the composition of their product.

      this just stick to cheap and dirty carbon steel if you can find it made with reasonable purity metal. The seasoning process is just polymerizing fat to metal so if all things go well it shouldn't even touch the steel.

      So I just cooked in my SS because this thread made me wonder if it was actually as bad, sticking-wise, as I remembered. Yes. I had to use a silicone spatula to scrape the entire bottom out and then had to let soapy water soak and use a hard bristle brush to clean it.

        Check'd, my seasoning is pretty good but nowhere near the ceramic, I don't tend to cook delicate foods either. Right tool for the job I suppose. The ladies ceramic is so unnaturally smooth oil forms beads and rolls around like water on a repellent surface, can't argue with it. But searing, to baking, and acting like a Dutch oven from roasts to baking bread I love the CIs versatility-- and you can kind of abuse the surface.

          Shit. I never even thought about using it as a dutch oven. Thanks, anon, gotta order a lid now. When I bake bread/bagels I usually throw my biggest CI in the bottom of the oven during preheat and drop ice on it when the dough goes in. Keeps that shit steamy

    If you go SS remember that they leak chromium and nickel (amount depending on exact steel composition so check that). Acidic food is especially bad. The impact can be reduced somewhat by cooking and cleaning them a number of times. Still probably better to use a different pan for tomato juice and similar stuff.

    Also regarding stuff sticking in the pan, just get steel wool. With a bit of warm water and dish washer everything should come off easily. I once even read that if you do whatever it is you do to get fond is super great for cleaning out the pan but I never tested it and don't remember any thing more.

    Hey homosexuals, take yourself to your local TJMAXX, ROSS DRESS FOR LESS AND BURKES OUTLET.

    Go to home goods. Find black "CALPHALON" tag hanging off pans.

    Grab their stainless steel pots and pans. Very cheap and great construction. This wont give you blood aids or whatever you get from teflon.

    While youre at it, replace EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF NONSTICK COOKWARE with stainless steel. This includes air fryer baskets, utensils, pots, pans and any other accessory.

    Cast iron is for ledditor "r/masculinity" bullshitters. Yeah, cooking is real manly but I digress. Stainless steel does the same thing for you as cast iron and you don't have to treat it like a baby, unlike cast iron.

        I forget to season my CI pan and she cooks like a dream. Deglazing does the trick, and it's great forearm work the pan being quite heavy. Best 10 bucks I ever spent from a thrift store.

        >t. microwave man

        Cast iron is both more non-stick and has greater thermal mass than stainless steel. Conversely, stainless steel is much better for cooking things that require deglazing, such as searing scallops followed by a wine deglaze, or braising/sautéing acidic stuff (tomato-based stuff, most commonly), or reductions.

        Do you even cook, you donut?

        Bros, I love the way a well seasoned cast iron pan looks. Every time I see one in a thrift shop I want to buy it and recondition it to like-new condition. I have a Kamado Joe grill I can season them in easily without smoking up my home. Should I do it?

      The higher the smoke point of the fat/oil is the better. This is why grapeseed oil is often used.

      You don't have to season your pan at all. Seasoning is a natural result of cooking with it.

      When I started using cast iron I bought into all that caring for it nonsense. Then I accidentally lit my pan on fire and half the seasoning burned down to bare metal. I kept cooking on it and it's fine.

      You just add fat to the pan and cook in it. Don't worry about anything. It's just a solid piece of iron that you get really hot and cook on. The cast iron care must be a psyop by the nonstick pan industry to make their delicate pans that can't handle metal utensils seem like less of a hassle. Cast iron doesn't require any care at all.

        That's what I'm doing now, it's a lodge pre seasoned but I tried to get all of that off when I bought it because it's vegetable oil. Eggs do stick a little but not so much as my stainless steel pans. I was thinking of trying to season or just get a lid and throwing a little water in right at the end

          pans too hot for the eggs, i crack them in when the pan is just too hot to touch and let them warm up with the pan to a mild heat, then flip and turn the pan off when the whites are cooked.
          Usually perfect every time if I dont frick up the flip
