I heard ceramic coated stuff can be bad for you. How about steel? I‘m kind of leaning more towards steel because I can‘t find any websites saying it‘s even potentially bad for you. However I like the non-stick factor of ceramic. It‘s just if you google Is Your Ceramic Cookware Slowly Killing You? or Ceramic Coated Cooking Pans May be Killing You With Color it makes me kind of leery of it. All I want to do is freaken scramble some eggs. But I don‘t want to freaken die of cancer because of it.
You are not going to avoid cancer just by avoiding certain cookware. My mother was a health nut and have been on what everyone would consider a healthy lifestyle since I was 4 years old and she still came down with cancer whereas my grandmother who was not died at 104 years old. My mother was the kind of person who read EVERYTHING she could get her hands on about product safety. She knew just about every news articles and rumors about what products are cancer causing or unhealthy. But when it is your time, it is your time and all the worrying is not going to change that.
Both are equally safe. I personally don't care for ceramic on the inside OR outside of my cast iron pans. The only coating I know that can be dangerous, but only if you get the pan REALLY hot is teflon. I prefer plain old cast iron or cast aluminum or anodized cookwear. The ceramic looks nice but I don't use pans that look good, I use pans that COOK good.
For eggs you are probably pretty safe using one of the ceramic coated pans. I say this for several reasons. 1. Eggs are generally cooked at a lower heat so there is less chance for burning off any coating. 2. If this is all you use the pan for and you use safe utensils there is less likely hood of you scratching the surface causing bits of the coating to be ingested. If you want a good set of cookware a good stainless steel that has a core that will aid in heat transfer is a good choice. It takes getting used to cooking in a pan that does not have a non stick surface but after a few meals you get the hang of it. Hot pan, cold oil then food won't stick. Don't fuss with stuff, it will release when properly seared. Ceramic or enameled cast iron is nice but it is heavy. Cast iron is also very nice but it needs to be treated properly. If you take all the reports that come out about anything we will all die of something.OH wait.we will.never mind.
watch out for rainy days.
