great at first, then disappoints
I have used these nano-ceramic, eco-friendly non-stick, supposedly non-toxic types of pans that are now becoming more popular. They are in fact wonderful - for the first few months, until the nano-ceramic coating starts to wear off and IT DOES. The first one I had cooked eggs beautifully with no oil, they'd slide off and the pan was a dream to clean. After a while the shiny surface becomes matte and everything starts to stick. Which is inconvenient, yes. But worse is that the nan-ceramic particles must be going somewhere (into the food?) and the material underneath increasingly comes into contact with the food. I had the first one replaced by the store (Bed & Bath) and a second one did the same thing. No more nano-ceramico for me.
