Care and Maintenance
Because the CeramiClad line uses a premium ceramic nonstick surface, proper care helps preserve its smooth food release and long-term performance. For best results, cook on low to medium heat, use silicone or wooden utensils, and hand wash with a soft sponge after the pan has cooled completely. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, metal utensils, abrasive scrubbers, and sudden temperature changes to help maintain the ceramic coating over time.
Remember:
Ceramic cookware offers excellent nonstick performance without PFAS-based coatings, but it does require gentler care than stainless steel or cast iron cookware. Hand washing, moderate heat, and non-metal utensils are recommended to maximize the lifespan of the ceramic surface.

When We Recommend Made In CeramiClad
Who it Fits Best
Home cooks and professionals who want the searing power of a high-end stainless steel pan but need the easy release of a non-stick for eggs, fish, and delicate sauces.
Where it Excels
This pan is unbeatable for 'clean' cooking. It excels in tasks where temperature control is critical—like reducing a balsamic glaze or searing white fish where skin-sticking is a frequent failure point.
Professional Comparisons
It offers significantly more thermal mass than a Scanpan, leading to better browning, while being much lighter and easier to maneuver than a Le Creuset enameled skillet.
Chef Feedback
"The handle angle is the standout. It provides excellent leverage for flipping without putting strain on the wrist during long prep sessions."
Trade-offs & Considerations
While Made In CeramiClad cookware offers excellent heat control and easy nonstick performance, the ceramic coating requires gentler care than traditional stainless steel and may lose some slickness over time if exposed to high heat, metal utensils, or dishwasher use.
