The best ceramic pan in both Wirecutter's and Serious Eats' tests, with easy release and a balanced, comfortable build. Wirecutter still warns that many owners say it loses its nonstick within months or chips, and that some warranty claims were denied.

Wirecutter saw an egg slowly slide to the edge because the surface isn't completely flat. Serious Eats notes it isn't induction-compatible and is oven-safe only to 430°F.

What experts say
- Wirecutter (NYT): The best ceramic pan it tested, though not as good as PTFE. Wirecutter doesn't recommend ceramic overall because coatings tend to stop being nonstick within about a year.
- Serious Eats: Great budget pick: easy release, comfortable, no hot spots, and no scratches in its durability test. It is oven-safe only to 430°F and not induction-compatible.
