For the past 43 years Ive been using Vision saucepans , the glass ones by corning

But they are now showing their age and I'm wondering about ceramic pans . Has anyone got them ?

How do they shape up compared with vision pans?

I've heard that they stain easily is that true? Im looking at a set by Royalty line, like these

I fell into the trap of buying a couple of ceramic lined frying pans on the assumption that they were tough and non-stick. They aren't either. If cooking a steak or similar, any juices that come out of the meat stick to the ceramic coating and can burn and it's a proper bugger to remove. You'd think eggs would slide about in the pan also. Not a hope. Apart from being terrible to cook in, they scratch easily too especially if using metal tools.

I stick (pardon the pun) to QVC's Cooks Essentials range - now they are non-stick and sturdy.

We have a ceramic griddle pan we like it.

I use ceramic frying pans and find them excellent. They wash easily with hot water. I´m happy with mine, but you should never use any metal implements in them.

Hi

Tried them, the ones I had were rubbish.

Never again.

I prefer catering quality stainless steel such as Stellar or ProCook - they are a bit more expensive, but worth their weight in gold. I have had mine since 1992 - they still look good - nothing ever sticks - they can be used on Gas or Electric cookers.

Am ashamed to say I once left potatoes cooking while I went into the craft room to do do something - big mistake - forgot about the spuds until the smoke alrm went off. The pan was totally black - but - soaked for an hour in cold water then washed normally - it came up gleaming good as new. Not many you can say that about.

Bought a cheapo set from eBay. Been excellent, and still good. Just a little bit of care, use silicon tools, don't stack to store.
We use fry light and have no problems.

Re: ceramic pans anyone?

Thanks for the replies everyone...After having my pans for such a long time its difficult to let go and to accept another type of pan that Ive never used before.


correction of typo in first post Ive had my pans 34 years not 43..

Re: ceramic pans anyone?

Made a huge mistake buying some, they discolour easily I found, they are not non stick, and I've returned to my stainless steel pans which may not be non stick but you can scrub with a scourer and go in the dishwasher a treat.

I have a few ceramic pans. I buy them cheaply from Homesense (the household brand of TKmax). It's hit and miss in terms of non stickiness. They don't last forever but neither does teflon. They are not better than teflon in terms of non stick, they are just not carcinogenic.
