Valencia Pro Hard Anodized Nonstick Frypan

Ceramic nonstick is a great nontoxic alternative to traditional nonstick cookware. This skillet is the top pick from America’s Test Kitchen and is recommended by Consumer Reports. We’ve listed the 10″ pan, but they also have 8″ and 12″ options.

This skillet is compatible with induction cooktops.

Nonstick cookware is a less durable cookware option, and it needs to be delicately cared for to extend its lifespan. Here are some tips for making your ceramic skillet last longer:

  • Don’t use metal utensils or abrasive cleaners (like a scrub brush or Bar Keepers Friend).
  • Don’t put it in the dishwasher.
  • Don’t use nonstick coating on top, like a spray oil, because it can actually make the surface stickier.
  • Don’t put it under the broiler.
