Ceramic nonstick sketches me out. It's got silicone embedded in the material, which effectively lubricates the pan to produce the nonstick effect until it all eventually leaches out. It seems safe because a little silicone in your food is not considered dangerous currently. I recently started using the pans with a metal grid in them that's supposed to produce a nonstick effect from its physical structure. They work well enough it's not been a problem even though they aren't quite as nonstick as pfas or silicone. They are stupid expensive unfortunately.
Edit: Misremembered, its "organic silicon compounds" and not silicone.
Silicone is not safe when heated: https://www.insidehalton.com/news/health-canada-study-silicone-bakeware/article_c722cdb8-ae14-58ac-bfd1-dbe93a63eb0d.html
Huh - I was under the impression that they were basically teflon/pfas with raised ridges so your metal utensils wouldn’t scratch the coating.
That is not based on any fact I saw anywhere - just the assumption my brain made when I saw them.
I had heard they were expensive but then I’ve also seen some generic/cheap ones at TJMaxx. Could be completely different material, though, while just copying the “look”.
All I know for sure is my inside out omelets only work with teflon pans (from what I’ve tested).
There are ones that are really just normal pfas pans that copied the look but you're still not supposed to use metal utensils with them. The world of cookware is really confusing, it's a huge industry and doesn't seem to really be regulated or monitored for safety in any significant way.
