Ceramic Frying Pans

[Rosie29]

I've just bought one of these - really pleased with it. They need no fat once you've done the initial "seasoning" - I made a good mushroom omelette and didn't even use spray oil. Three sizes - smallest one £20

This is very interesting to hear, I have recently bought another non stick pan, and once again, it is pretty rubbish, needing oil to be used . I intend now to take a look at the pros and cons of these, and will probably buy one if the reviews are all saying such good things.

[AlwaysConfused]

what make did you get? What is the price of the large pan?

[Rosie29]

The make is Ceracraft and it is 20cms. From memory I think the other prices were £30 and£40 but I could be wrong on that. I hadn't read any reviews - it was an impulse buy in Wilkinsons because my OH had seen an ad about them. Perhaps Ceracraft have a website. I am certainly surprised at how good mine is and also it just needed a quick rinse and wipe to clean.

That's good to know Rosie. They're doing them in Asda too and yesterday I stood for ten minutes deliberating over buying one, deciding not too because I hadn't heard if they were any good. Thanks for the recommendation - I'll go back and get one now!

I have seen them on tv too Rosie, thanks for giving your opinion. I may well put one on my wish list !

[AlwaysConfused]

JML do nice ceramic pans (and in nice colours too!). I have been deliberating over getting one. Think I'll have another look when in Asda tomorrow

Are the ceramic pans heavy?

[Old_Geezer]

Seen them on the shopping channels. Hope they last for you. I'm always a little cautious re JML stuff. Not sure why, they just give that impression.

[Ratty2E]

I have the JML Cerecraft ones and they are pretty good. I did have a cheaper set from Amazon (can't remember the make) and they were rubbish. I've had them a while now and they still work well.

[Rosie29]

Woofgang - no not heavy - I'm quite ancient and don't find them so.!

[mazie]

Thanks Rosie for sharing. I need a new frying pan, so I'll have a look :o)

The big disadvantage of these is....the non-stick properties don't last that long, apparently.

[Rosie29]

you may be right gingejbee - I think I'll try to remember to season it regularly. Another thing to remember!

[gingejbee]

...and, as with all non-stick surfaces, don't use at highest temperatures. All non-stick surfaces last longer if used at low and medium heat and (whatever the makers say) non-metallic utensils are best to use.
