Ceramic cookware is trending. Itβs a hot topic in the cookware world. Why? As it turns out, traditional non-stick cookware made from PFAS chemicals (the parent class of over 12,000 synthetic chemicals that includes PTFE, GenX, PFOAs, PFOS all used to create nonstick coatings) isnβt so healthy for humans or the environment.1
For years, itβs been contaminating our waterways and, unfortunately, humans with whatβs known as βforever chemicalsβ (along with many other consumer products), and itβs big news! You can read more about the issues here. Some of the health issues associated with PFAS chemicals include testicular and kidney cancer, infertility, liver damage, and thyroid disease.2, 3
Is it really worth the risk? Hmmm.
Tasha Stoiber, EWG, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, says this about PFAS,
βPFAS, a family of compounds including Teflon, can be found in the blood of people all over the world, including 99 percent of Americans. The production of consumer goods using these chemicals pollutes drinking water, food and wildlife, and since PFAS do not break down, they remain in the environment and people for decades. Almost everywhere we look we find more PFAS.β
As smart consumers whoβve become educated on the dangers of PTFE cookware (also known as polytetrafluoroethylene, and known by the trade name Teflon, which many now call βtoxic cookwareβ), the popularity of non toxic ceramic cookware and bakeware has soared, specifically ceramic coated non-stick cookware, and pure ceramic cookware.

Ceramic Cookware Tested
As a trained chef and founder of Organic Authority, Iβve been testing ceramic cookware for over 10 years. Iβve cooked everything in these pans, including scrambled eggs, fried eggs, delicate fish, proteins, sauces, pasta sauces, vegetables, oatmeal, and more. Iβve also tested the durability of each with metal, wooden, and silicone utensils. And as you can imagine, Iβve done a lot of cleaning and know which ones are easy to clean.
I can also share that Iβve tested everything from the cheap ceramic cookware lines to the well-made, premium brands, and there is a big difference. Experience has taught me to stay away from the too-cheap brands and one-hit wonders that try to do it all, and itβs worth investing in brands that are durable and well-constructed.
Because all of my picks are PFAS free, you can have peace of mind that if you accidentally walk away from the stove and overheat the pan, no toxic gasses will be released which can lead to polymer fume fever (as happens with PTFE and PFAS cookware when it goes above 500 degrees Fahrenheit).4 These fumes are potent enough to hospitalize humans and kill pet birds.5
Drumroll, please β¦ based on my testing, this is my list of top picks from GreenPan, Caraway, Xtrema and, newcomer to this 2024 non-toxic ceramic cookware guide update, Alva Cookware.
What is Ceramic Cookware?
The world of ceramic cookware is as varied as it is eco-friendly. Some cookware companies rely on slick nonstick βceramicβ surfaces as a stand-in for traditional PTFE nonstick, coating a metal core with a slick layer derived from natural substances like silicon dioxide or silica, like youβll see from GreenPan, Caraway, or Alva Cookware.
GreenPanβs proprietary coating is made with Thermolon, while Caraway and Alva Cookware use Sol Gel, an inorganic, sand-based composition, all 100% PFAS-free. Other companies forego the metal entirely for pans wholly crafted from clay, creating pure ceramic cookware like Xtrema.
However, like all cookware, not all ceramic cookware is created equal. (Much like there are pros and cons of carbon steel vs. stainless steel vs. cast iron, read to learn more.) Some pans lose their slickness quickly or have poor heat conduction. While others, despite eco claims, arenβt much better than traditional nonstick made with a host of toxic chemicals that are detrimental to the environment, like the famous PFAS βforever chemicalsβ found in traditional nonstick PTFE coated pans.
Know this upfront when considering buying ceramic coated nonstick cookware. No nonstick cookware lasts a lifetime (including PTFE). Itβs just the nature of the material. And depending on how rough your are on your nonstick cookware, that will dictate the longevity of your cookware. Keep reading to see my tips to get the most out of your nonstick cookware.Β

Here are the 6 Best Ceramic Cookware Sets Weβve Tested
Β 1. Most Innovative: GreenPanβs GP5
Ceramic cookware has improved by leaps and bounds since it first emerged in the marketplace, and there are many companies worthy of accolades for their continued innovation and commitment to excellence.
No company impresses me more than GreenPan, whose new GP5 line takes full advantage of 15 years of innovation and development to deliver the most advanced ceramic nonstick collection yet. You can read more about GreenPan in our deep dive of the brand and our favorite GreenPan sets reviewed.
Iβve been testing GreenPanβs ceramic cookware sets for over 10 years. And guess what? Their ceramic cookware just gets better with their continued technological advancements in their Thermolon nonstick ceramic coating.
GP5 Construction
And the new GP5 is no exception. Boasting the companyβs proprietary, diamond-infused Infinite8 ceramic nonstick coating, the 8th generation and most advanced iteration of their iconic ceramic nonstick coating. Itβs also the most durable and is my personal favorite from GreenPan.
The GP5 is noticeably twice as thick, which does give it a little more weight, but that also translates into better heat conduction and longer life. It comes with the Balance Pro base, which flexes when heated so that oil stays where you put it (as long as your stove is flat!). They also use silhouette rivets in their construction, which are reversed rivets, to help eliminate jammed food in small crevices, keeping the pans cleaner.
Iβve cooked everything in these pans from eggs, omelets, pancakes, proteins, veg to fish. You donβt need a lot of oil or fat to help with the nonstick surface but I recommend it. But, if you really donβt want to add any oil, you can probably get away with it.Β
GP5s Utility
Another thing to love about these pans is that theyβre metal utensil tolerant (which most ceramic non-stick is not). This is a big deal because that means the pan will last longer and not degrade as quickly with scratches and dings from metal utensil use.
And because of its slick, nonstick coating, itβs easy to clean. Iβve overcooked a few stuck-on messes like, over reduced sauces, burned on cheese, and all of these came clean with a little soap, water and soft brush. Iβm also a fan of the heat vents in the opaque lids to prevent liquids from boiling over (like my homemade morning oatmeal).
Theyβve just added a new stainless steel option to the GP5 line, and whoa is it stunning. Featuring chic champagne handles, classic stainless steel construction, itβs finished with the same groundbreaking Infinite8 Ceramic Nonstick.
Another favorite feature β GreenPan even helps you recycle your old cookware set.
Best cooking technique: medium, to medium-low heat, will tolerate some high heat cooking though.

2. Best Modern Design: Caraway
If you want pans as pretty as they are high-functioning, Caraway is the brand for you. These sleek pans boast a vintage appeal and are available in nine different colors, so you can choose the one that perfectly suits your kitchen aesthetic.
Classics include cream, blue, sage green, coral, and bright marigold, while the βIconicsβ collection is available in black, white, and silt green, each of which boasts a gold-hued handle.
Carawayβs Construction
Of course, these pans arenβt just about looks, with a non-toxic ceramic coating, made from sol-gel that comes from silicone dioxide or silica. Itβs built to last, as long as itβs treated properly. What does that mean? These pots and pans are best for medium to medium-low cooking, no searing high heat cook offs or hot, hot, hot dishwashers. The high heat will quickly degrade the nonstick surface, shortening the life of your beautiful cookware.
These pots and pans do come with a little more weight to them, but in my mind thatβs not a bad thing because they have an aluminum core that makes them excellent at heat conduction. That being said, I love that the 4.5 -quart saute pan comes with a helper handle to help overcome any issues with weight. Itβs also an oversize saute pan that can cook up large dishes for friends and family.
Carawayβs pots and pans are also compatible with induction stoves. To learn more about their ethos, read our deep dive into Caraway cookware sets and our brand review and interview here.

My Experience Cooking with Caraway
Iβve been using my set for several years now, and have cooked everything from eggs, pasta, fish, my morning oatmeal and more. Like all ceramic nonstick cookware that Iβve tested, I do recommend adding a little fat or oil to the pan to get the most of the nonstick surface.
I can confirm that when treated with care you will get great life out of them. I recommend washing them by hand (they are not dishwasher safe, the high heat will quickly degrade the nonstick surface) and only use wood and silicone utensils (they are not metal utensil safe).
I can confirm that Caraway is third party tested by (SGS and or TUV) and California Prop 65 certified.
Oh, and Iβve also tested and fully reviewed both Carawayβs non-toxic bakeware set and their food storage containers, both of which I fell in love with.
Hereβs Whatβs Included in a Set
As far as sets go, there are a few options. Carawayβs ceramic coated cookware sets come with a 10.5-inch fry pan as well as 3- quart saucepan and 4.5-quart saute pan, and a 6.5 quart Dutch oven (great value!). Opaque lids with vents are included with three of the four pans to prevent boiled over spills. Magnetic pan racks and a canvas lid holder allow for easy storage.
If the set feels like too big of a commitment, you could pick up individual pots or pans as desired. Or, you could test out your love for Caraway with the Minis Duo, which feature two of Carawayβs most requested products: the Mini Fry Pan and the Mini Sauce Pan. Designed for smaller portions, these lighter-weight pans are a phenomenal addition to any kitchen.
Or you could opt for the Deluxe Set, which combines the 10-piece Cookware Set with Storage, and the Minis Duo and a hefty discount. Itβs the way to go if you want the whole enchilada (I love enchiladas).

3. Best Pure Ceramic: Xtrema
As opposed to other brands on this list, Xtrema pots and pans donβt have a metal core or nonstick coating. Instead, this brand takes full advantage of thousands of years of ceramic cookware traditions, offering a proprietary clay collection boasting the beauty of pottery, the durability of porcelain, and the heat retention of stoneware.
This cookware brand is unique. Constructed from flameware, a newer type of ceramic clay thatβs used to make their cookware, Xtremaβs cookware excels at heat retention. Made from clay, water, and natural oxides and tripled fired at 2,500 degrees, it is durable, scratch resistant and easy to clean. Certified PFAS, PTFE and PFOA free, theyβre also California Prop 65 compliant, so you can be confident that no toxic chemicals will leach from this cookware.
You can read more about Xtrema cookware sets and the founderβs journey and why he made it his mission to create the cleanest cookware possible.
βIn my experience, Xtremaβs cookware retains heat so well (you must preheat it properly), that you may not need to cook dishes over as high a temperature that you may be used to.βΒ β Laura Klein, Pro-Trained Chef and Co-Founder of Organic Authority
The redesigned signature skillet line from Xtrema boasts shallow side walls and a smooth cooking surface. I love it for its heat retention and prefer it for low, slow cooking: itβs great for her shakshuka, spinach artichoke dip, and more. I love it for cooking eggs too. Add a little oil to the pan and you have a surprisingly naturally nonstick surface. And their new classic oval Dutch oven is a fave too. I recently put to the test, you can read my full review of the Xtrema Classic Oval Dutch Oven here.
Iβve even tested the cookware lineβs natural nonstick claims with eggs. Shockingly, with a little oil or fat, the pan lives up to its non-stick promise.
This cookware is ideal for all of your low and slow cooking needs like soups, stews, braises and more. I recommend following the brandβs advice on preheating your pot or pan on low for about three minutes before adding oil or fat to the pan. Then you can raise the temperature if you desire. However, be careful of drastic temperature changes, you could damage it and void the warranty.
In my experience, Xtremaβs cookware retains heat so well (you must preheat it properly), that you may not need to cook dishes over as high a temperature that you may be used to.
That same heat retention and beautiful design makes it ideal for going from stovetop, to oven, to table, effortlessly, while keeping your food warm.
To get started, I recommend their Signature Series Set (detailed below) or you could always pick up single pieces as needed. Again, I love their skillet and Dutch oven so those are a great place to start.
Hereβs What Comes in Xtremaβs Signature Series Set
The 9-piece traditions set comes complete with 1-quart, 1.5 quart, 2.5 quart saucepans with lids and a 10-inch saute pan with lid. This ceramic cookware set also comes with two, 100% organic cotton handle potholders.

4. Most Versatile: Green Panβs Valencia Pro
This cookware set has stood the test of time. Really. Iβve been cooking with it for years. Itβs durable and simply put, it just does the job itβs supposed to when it comes to nonstick ceramic cookware.
The Valencia Pro is a bestseller and recent winner of the Good Housekeeping Sustainable Innovation Award! The judges were impressed with GreenPanβs sustainability efforts and product efficacy. βGreenPan makes cookware with strict quality assurance procedures to ensure the absence of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium and endocrine-disrupting fluorinated compounds from its ceramic nonstick coating.β
Valencia Pro is GreenPanβs best-selling set for a reason. Crafted from hard anodized aluminum, it boasts maximum strength and scratch resistance. Plus, it works on induction surfaces and the incredible nonstick surface makes it very easy to clean.
The Valencia Pro Tested After 2 Years
Recently, I stayed at a friendβs house, and she showed me the Valencia Pro saute pan given to her two years prior by a family member. My friend used it to cook everything from scrambled eggs, to cooking pancakes over high heat (to get those brown edges), to frying up crispy potatoes (she definitely wasnβt following all of the guidelines!). I was shocked at how well the Valencia Pro stood up to all of this use and abuse.
So, I couldnβt help but put that pan to the test with an egg, and a little butter. Even though the pan had some oil stains, the nonstick qualities held up surprisingly well.Β
The award-winning Valencia Pro line comes in several set options, detailed below, or thereβs always the option of purchasing a pan or two here and there. I would definitely start with their fry pans if youβre not in need of a full set of pots and pans.
Whatβs Included In the Valencia Pro Cookware Set
The 19-piece set includes 8-, 9.5-, and 11-inch fry pans as well as 2- and 3.25-quart saucepans, a 3-quart sautΓ© pan, 5- and 8-quart stockpots, an 11-inch everyday pan, 11-in griddle and an 11-inch grill pan. And with the exception of the frying pans, every item comes with its own glass lid.
Add some pan protectors, and itβs everything you need. Thereβs also a 13-piece set and a 11 piece set, which are great places to start if you donβt need the whole shebang.
Best cooking technique: medium, to medium-low heat, and will tolerate high heat cooking.

4. Best Classic Design: Alva Cookware
If youβre looking for a pan with Old World craftsmanship and the experience of modern cooking, then this is it! The Alva Maestro Nonstick Frying Pan is the one for you.
The thick aluminum induction base is impressive . The panβs base is a layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel, making it great for heat conduction and distribution.
Alva Ceramic Cookware Construction
This pan is ceramic coated with a proprietary sol-gel method and is 100% PFAS free (which we love, and know you do too). Additionally, the straight edge designs give you 20% more surface area to cook with! This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Curved sides reduce the cooking area of most pans, and just one of many reasons why I love this pan.
When testing this pan, I cooked many egg dishes including scrambled eggs, to sunny side-up eggs and delicate fish dishes. They all released effortlessly, demonstrating the panβs slick, non-stick surface (the coating also makes clean-up a breeze!).
Its sleek design is perfect for the minimalist chef who values efficiency and trustworthy manufacturing. This pan is available in 8β, 9.5β, and 11β sizes (individually or in the set detailed below), perfect for grass fed meats, fresh fish, sauces, and eggs. Say goodbye to breakfast residue on pans β your organic free-range eggs will slide right off!

6. Best Minimalist Aesthetic: GreenPan Venice Pro Noir
If you want a pan that blends effortlessly into your minimalist kitchen, then reach for GreenPanβs Venice Pro Noir. This sleek, designer-approved collection boasts matte black handles and stay-stainless steel exteriors for an oh-so-sophisticated finish, and glass lids mean you can watch your favorite dishes come together before your very eyes.
Of course, like the rest of GreenPanβs products, Venice is far from just a pretty face. These pans are total workhorses, with three-ply stainless cores and diamond-infused ceramic coating for a durable surface with maximum release, so you can flip the perfect pancake every time (and cleaning these pans is a dream).
If you like to see what youβre cooking through the lid of a pot or pan, this might be the set for you. The lids also have a built-in strainer and pour spout that makes pouring liquids from a pan easy and mess-free. The Venice Pro Noir comes with tempered glass lids. The bonus, it comes with the durable Thermolon ceramic nonstick coating (but not the Infinite8 that comes with the GP5).
Itβs your choice to go for a full set like the one below (which is an incredible value) or to pick up individual pieces as needed such as a frypan or stockpot.Β
Best cooking technique: medium, to medium-low heat, will tolerate higher heat.

Lauraβs Tips for Cooking and Caring for Your Ceramic Cookware
Caring for ceramic-coated nonstick pans is similar to caring for any nonstick. I recommend washing by hand (but stay away from abrasive cleaning pads), even when the manufacturer says the dishwasher is okay. Remember their nonstick coating makes them easy to wash! Putting them in the dishwasher that runs hot, hot, hot, will quickly degrade the surface!
Avoid metal utensils (again, even if the manufacturer says otherwise), steer clear to make them last longer and keep from scratching. I like to use silicone or wood utensils on her nonstick (stay away from plastic, please!).
I also recommend keeping them away from extremely high heat as well, cook over medium or low heat β no high-heat searing on nonstick.
What happens if you burn something? Use my tried and true chef trick, add some water, put it over low heat for a few minutes, and use a wooden spoon to lift the burned on bits. Rinse and hand wash.
Thoughtful care and attention really works!
On the fence on which way to go? Leave a comment below and get my expert opinion and tips!
Is Ceramic Cookware Healthy?
Given its construction, ceramic cookware is devoid of problematic PFAS, PTFE and PFOAs, which can be dangerous for humans and the environment. Not only has production of these substances been linked to polluted waterways, but PTFE may not be safe for humans and pets like birds if it heats up beyond 500 degrees Fahrenheit, as it is known to offgas.Β
Safe at temperatures exceeding 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit for pure ceramic, or the still-very-hot 600ΒΊF for ceramic-coated, this nonstick cookware is a healthier choice both for the home cook and for the planet.What are theΒ
Disadvantages of Ceramic Cookware?
There are some downsides to choosing ceramic nonstick, notably durability. Ceramic cookware simply doesnβt last as long as traditional PTFE nonstick. Youβll need to be judicious about your use and care of your pans to keep them from wearing out too quickly.
How does Ceramic Cookware Stand Up to PTFE?
For some, this disadvantage is so pronounced that they opt, instead, for a solution that offers the best of both worlds: a modern PTFE nonstick skillet that does not contain PFOAs and will outperform ceramics in terms of longevity (which weβve tested and is true, but the high quality ceramics on our list come close to longevity when properly cared for and maintained). MadeIn is a good option, with pans that are oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and that last around six to seven times as long as ceramic.
And yet, Made In is far from perfect. The PTFE supply chain is still problematic, and thereβs still an outstanding question of how modern brands dispose of the PFAS chemicals used to make PTFE. If youβre interested in learning more, weβve covered the issue of PTFE cookware safety in depth.
Brands We Donβt Recommend and Why
There are loads of other green nonstick brands on the market today, so why didnβt they make it onto our list?
In a word: longevity. Although, please note that no nonstick cookware will last forever, but the brands I recommend last much longer than others, meaning theyβre better for the environment, and are a better investment.
Weβve tried PTFE-free nonstick pans from Ecolutionβs Bliss Line, Ozeri Green Earth, GreenLife Soft Grip, Cuisinartβs Green Gourmet 12-piece set, and Scanpan. In our tests, the coating deteriorated too quickly for us to give them a recommendation β and thatβs even with hand-washing and wood or silicone utensils. You will be replacing them in 3 months, and youβll be mad that you wasted your time and money.
Why donβt I recommend the AlwaysPan? The same reason, longevity. Youβll be frustrated when you have to replace it in as little as six months.
Consider a high-quality ceramic pan an investment β in your cooking, your health, and the environment! If you canβt buy a whole set, buy one or two pans that you think you will use the most often to start, and then build out your collection from there as needed.
