I think these ceramic pans are way overrated. Not as non stick as the ads make out

I have this frying pan, it is very big and nice to use, however, I find that the surface is shaped so the oil runs to the side and this can be a problem if your trying to get the oil to to a shape to crack an egg in for frying but the non stick surface on this pan is quite good, egg will stick a little bit but a light scrape with a spatula and it will normally come away without the yolk breaking but not all the time. Bacon and sausage do not ever seem to stick, I can not comment on pancakes or omelettes as I use other pans for these. The best thing about this pan is that it's very easy to clean, any grease that has stuck wipes off very easily and you have a white pan again the downside of this is that the white enamel is easily scratched

For Induction hubs

yes

£18 on the website???

I got my ceramics some years ago from Germany; I agree with everything you say, particularly the irritation of the oil gravitating to the perimeters. I can only think they are designed by a male whose mum cooks for him still. My only other comment is that the ceramics required a lot less gas to achieve the same result.
This deal deserves to be hot.
Well done OP.

I'm a man and I cook quite well, thank you very much :confused:

I agree the doming of the base of ceramic pans is frustrating and find that the longer you use them the more things stick :disappointed:

They had the ceramic wok from the same range for £9 too.

I had one and it and thought it was great for the first two weeks till it just turned the worst sticking frying pan i have ever had.. Eggs were the worst. I personally wouldn't waste my money even at that price.

24cm pan is 60p more, bigger pancakes! :innocent:

I have tried 2 ceramic frying pans from different manufacturers, ignoring previous warnings about them, and both started out non stick, but like others have said, after a few uses things start sticking, and they go downhill from there. Don't buy them, they are rubbish.

If you enjoy cooking and you want to spend a little time learning how to look after it, I could not recommend this 20cm pan more highly:

It's the pan most professional kitchens use and will only get better with use, as long as you follow the basic principles to look after it. I bought my first deBuyer pan last year and couldn't be more thrilled with it. Even scrambled egg doesn't stick.

How would you say the not-stick properties compare to tefal non-stick pans as far as non-stick-ability goes?

It's not as non-stick as a brand new teflon coated pan, but teflon doesn't stay great for very long!

You do have to cook with it the right way though.

Gutted, bought some of these for 50% off a week or two ago, now 70% off :-(

Love this pan, non stick has been faultless.

Those that have been using this, does the white get dirty easily? Is it hard to clean?
Can these be put in the dishwasher?

Two months lol. Used for stir frying vegetables and rice at max temp on gas.
