They clean so easy, it's amazing. Makes non-stick look like velcro!
Also, our stuff has either hardwood or ceramic coated handles so they're oven safe.
Another bonus: our 3 sauce pans were $64. For all 3. The three frying pans (different brand) were only $50 something.
So, you don't have to pay an arm & a leg to get ceramic coated cookware.
One last note on the chemistry: it is literally impossible to mix fluorocarbon polymers with the ceramic coating because of how each process works. So, unless some chemist figures out how to defy the laws of physics, you'll be safe on the PFAS issue with ceramic.
