What is Reddit's opinion of GreenPan Lima Hard Anodized Healthy Ceramic Nonstick 12" Frying Pan Skillet with Lid, PFAS-Free, Oven Safe, Gray?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Oops, sorry! I meant stainless steel OR Non-stick. Curse my fat fingers on my phone's keyboard. It would be your own preference and price range

Here's a link to the skillet I think we have. My boyfriend bought his set from William Sonoma before I moved in though lol. It's ceramic non stick

I have two of these. They are inexpensive and some of the best non-stick pans I've ever used. My sister got me one for Christmas because she liked hers so much, and I ended up buying a second one.

Like others have already said, it's not a good idea to buy an entire set of nonstick cookware. All you really need is one or two skillets, and even then you should only use those for eggs and other foods that can be sticky and messy.

Here's why: all cookware with nonstick coating--either PTFE (teflon) or ceramic--has a pretty short life span. Usually just a couple of years, and that's if you take care of it. Why would you want an entire set of cookware that you have to replace in a couple of years? Especially when nonstick is simply not necessary for Dutch ovens, stock pots, and sauce pans, which are rarely used for sticky foods.

Nonstick cookware is fragile. The coatings scratch and chip easily. You can't use high heat, so you can't ever get a really nice Maillard reaction (browning) going. You shouldn't use metal utensils or put in the dishwasher regardless of if the manufacturer says it's ok to do so--if you want to last the max amount of time, you won't do these things. So my advice is that if you really want to buy a set, get a set of clad stainless, and buy a nonstick skillet or two for eggs and such. Use the clad stainless for everything else. Just suck up the fact that it's not as easy to clean, because it's about 1000x better to cook with. And if you use it properly--heat oil before adding food--the cleaning isn't really that much of a problem.

Clad stainless will last you a lifetime. You can get a small set of Tramontina for, I dunno, less than $150, depending. Then go buy yourself a nice nonstick skillet.

I'm assuming by "toxic coating" you mean PTFE (teflon). It actually isn't toxic, but if you want ceramic nonstick then get ceramic. And the good news is that you shouldn't spend a lot, becauase, as I said, these pans have a finite life span. You can get a 12" Green Pan Lima skillet, w/cover for about 40 bucks on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/GreenPan-Ceramic-Non-Stick-Covered-Frypan/dp/B00AIKX626/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1549487523&sr=8-4&keywords=greenpan+lima. This is about the max I would spend on a ceramic nonstick pan. Tramontina nonstick is also good, and they make a ceramic line: https://www.amazon.com/Tramontina-80151-585DS-Ceramic-Reinforced-Nonstick/dp/B01M3WEZVM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1549487396&sr=8-4&keywords=tramontina+ceramic+nonstick. [Here's an article[(https://therationalkitchen.com/whats-best-nonstick-skillet-buy/) about how to buy a nonstick skillet. Maybe that will help you figure out what you want. There are other articles on that site to help you buy the right cookware. Good luck.
