Has anyone got a ceramic frying pan - if so how do you get on with it? My trusty non stick pan (must be 25yrs old) is getting beyond a joke and was thinking of replacing it with one of the new ceramic ones. Opinions from those who have some experience of using one welcomed.

I'm in the US, but we have them here as well. I bought one a while back and it was okay for sautéing, but I found it impossible to fry an egg in.

Thanks - that's useful to know

I had a set around 35 years ago - but I much preferred the Teflon coated frying pan for frying stuff in. Very heavy as well. I would think they have improved a lot though in the past 35 years (but then again, so have good Teflon coated stuff).
Sorry, that isn't much help to you

Thanks Carol -wrists no longer can cope with very heavy pots - had to lose Le Creuset a few years back

I was recently having this dilemma myself and the reviews online are so mixed!!!
I looked at the one advertised on TV which Asda are selling and decided against that one due to the reviews.
Instead I went for the Kuhn Rikon 28cm pan........Sainsbury's sell them but it's cheaper on Amazon....I got it for £28 delivered.
They stress to follow the instructions......use a little fat, not none (even tho the advert says that!!), use a lower temperature and hand wash.
So far it has been great.......not sticking at all and really easy to clean so very happy up to now.

Oh, and eggs no problem at all......

I have got a "green pan" brand ceramic frying pan, wok and small milk pan. Absolutely brilliant, can't recommend them highly enough! They sell them in Debenhams and other big department stores. Hope you find what you are looking for!
