The thing about “ceramic” is that it’s not actually defined or regulated as a term so it could still be some kind of PTFE.

- Ekaros 3mo agoSometimes I wonder if we discover that "ceramic" is also bad for health. As I understand it is really not meaningfully defined. And I also think about having heard that it is sometimes sacrificial that is that it wears out... Meaning it might leech something to food.

Even cheap brands like Green Pan play it straight. So you have to do a little bit of due diligence, but it's pretty easy to avoid the hidden PTFE. Some kind of trustworthy certification would be an improvement no doubt.
- clickety_clack 2mo agoI’d like to think it was actually some kind of neutral, non-harmful clay, but I guess the problem with clay is it can be made of whatever is in rocks, which is basically anything.
- Zigurd 2mo agoDo you have the same concerns about glass? And one thing you are certain not to find in ceramic non-stick coatings are floridated hydrocarbons.
