    some kind of artifical stone

    Ceramic - similar to glass in that it’s made by melting sand (tiny stones)

    My pans are ceramic, they’re great nonstick pans. Usually any patina of burn-on is easy to clean off with some barkeeper’s friend. Everything else comes off in cooking. Still wouldn’t use metal utensils on it though as at the end of the day it is still just a coating and scraping it will degrade my pan. But they’re still like new a couple years after buying them and they’re very aesthetically pleasing pans to boot. And no pfas to my knowledge.

    One of them is an aldi find, safe in the oven up to 450°

    The other one is just a t-fal frying pan with a plastic handle. So not oven safe at all.

      No, not normal ceramic. It has non-stick properties (imho superior to Teflon).

        Yes. It is non-stick and not teflon but it’s still a non-metal coating on top of a metal pan.
