Our take
Most ceramic pans disappoint, but Made In is the exception. If avoiding PTFE matters to you, this is the one ceramic pan that actually performs like a real nonstick.
If you want something under $40 that feels premium in your hand, OXO is the move. The handle design alone sets it apart from every other pan in this price range.
