… the pans are likely not “nontoxic” some independent testing and research suggests. Nor are they even “ceramic” – at least not in the way the public broadly thinks of ceramics. Now, regulators are investigating some of the pan sellers’ claims.

I got a couple of carbon steel pans. The upkeep is similar to cast iron but much lighter / easier to handle. I reach for it 90% of the time.
Yeah I would get one if they didn’t cost a million dollars and I didn’t already have too many pans.
They sell for super cheap at Asian grocery stores. I got one for like $35 CAD.
Edit: Oh actually although cheap, the ones you find at asian stores will mostly be woks which dont work well unless you have a gas stove so keep that in mind.
I do have a gas stove but shouldn’t they work on induction as well?
The issue is that they are curved so only a small part of it would make contact with the stove. There are special induction + wok combos where the induction surface is also curved but most people will not have that.
Ah makes sense.
