Does anyone have much experience with ceramic cookware? I recently got a ceramic skillet for free from work, but I've noticed it takes like twice as long to cook anything properly on it. It is, however, very magically non-stick, with none of the unhealthy downsides of Teflon. Am I merely imagining the lengthy cook time or does it vary from brand to brand? The brand I got is called Wear Ever.
Should I not be using this stuff? It's so pretty and magical but I might stop using it if it messes up my cooking.

Very interested, particularly in the "long cook times" part.
Question - isn't cast iron also "magically nonstick"?

By "magically non-stick" I mean food seems to levitate on the pan, and I'm quite sure even cheese wouldn't stick to it. Everything just falls right out of it, even fried eggs, which seem to take longer to cook, but cook very beautifully and even seem to taste better somehow. I also just sautéed some onions in it, and now I'm positive that things take longer to cook with it. But at least cleaning the pan only takes about five seconds.

This is what my plan looks like after sautéing an entire onion. Sorry for shit lighting.

That would be why it takes longer to cook. Poor contact.

But seriously, nothing sticks to the damn thing, even without oil.

Such as?
I have both teflon and ceramic pans, my ceramic ones are certainly not "non-stick" any longer

If you don't treat teflon with the appropriate caution, it can decompose into nasty stuff.
Mostly, don't use it in the oven, don't leave it over a hot burner empty and you're fine.

Even if you use it cautiously, over time, the Teflon will degrade anyway, and it ends up in your food as pseudo-estrogens and other bad shit that causes cancer.

Teflon cookware is the root cause of over 74% of all cases of moobs.

And then even without health concerns, you'd have to replace teflon cookware regularly because they wear out fairly quickly with use.

How long does it take ceramic skillets to wear out?

I don't personally know, but it seems like it's about the same time frame or less based on some stuff I've heard. If you already have the ceramic pan, just use it according to manufacturer directions or with reasonable care if you don't have anything to go off of, and report back to us how long it keeps it's non-stick properties.

Been using it almost every day for the last two weeks, as a general rule I won't use metal spoons or spatulas on it, as I'm quite sure it is easy to scratch.

Teflon is pretty much the easiest thing to get back in pristine condition, just get a can of PTFE and apply a fresh coating, then bake in the oven for a while.

A couple months of regular use and you can say goodbye to any semblance of "non-stick" ability

Ceramic knives never lose their edge. They become chipped and will eventually break like a piece of glass but they'll never lose their razor like sharpness.
Which makes them great for cutting onions. You're slicing the cells instead of crushing them so less eye watering volatile organic compounds are released.
Don't bother paying more than $20 bucks for ceramic knife.

It just becomes a separate piece after a while of banging about in a drawer.
