I have used these nano-ceramic, eco-friendly non-stick, supposedly non-toxic types of pans that are now becoming more popular. They are in fact wonderful - for the first few months, until the nano-ceramic coating starts to wear off and IT DOES. The first one I had cooked eggs beautifully with no oil, they'd slide off and the pan was a dream to clean. After a while the shiny surface becomes matte and everything starts to stick. Which is inconvenient, yes. But worse is that the nan-ceramic particles must be going somewhere (into the food?) and the material underneath increasingly comes into contact with the food. I had the first one replaced by the store (Bed & Bath) and a second one did the same thing. No more nano-ceramico for me.

I bought these pans mainly because I had health concerns regarding the Teflon on my non-stick pans (Chalpalon). After reading several articles about more health concerns, I decided not to take the risks and look for alternatives. I saw an Ad in La Cucian Italiana (I'm a subscriber and I cook A LOT) and went to Amazon, read (few) raving reviews and bought three pans. I was persuaded by the fact that ceramic is non-toxic and this who-ha-ha so cool nanoceramic technology and I said to myself - this is the real future of pans. Ceramic is a great cooking material for 1000s of years. Those Bialetti scientists had found a way to attach ceramic to Aluminum [that we all know how great (but toxic) it is for cooking)
I'm writing this review a month and a half into using these pans.
The good
-Great looks
-Heat evenly and fast!
-real non-stick
-lightweight
The bad
The nano-ceramic coating on the Aluminum is really "nano". it is so thin that i don't think I'm familiar with a measurement unit to describe it. It is thinner than a paper. it is thinner than a hair. it is as thick as...I really can't find any familiar object that is this thin. If something will come to mind, I will add it later in the review.
Now, you probably ask yourself, how do I know that?
Because after two weeks or so, i started to notice small gray dots on the rims of one of my pans. at first I thought that this is a small grain of something. When I took a closer look, I realized that it is a small hole in the nanoceramic coating that covers --->> Aluminum.
Since it was on the rims of my pan I used the pan more until today, when I found a small hole in the coating in the middle of my pan.
Now I can tell you that the coating is so thin that you can hardly feel the hole in it with your fingers (you have to try hard to identify the hole by touch).
The holes are 10th of a millimeter in diameter, but they are there. On the rims (the top circle) I have many of them by now but I have only one hole in one pan in the center of the pan.
Now a word about me and how I handle my kitchen tools:
I never wash pans and pots in the dishwasher. I wash them always the same night after they cool down. Same is true for my knifes.
In addition, nobody washes my dishes! moreover, I only use wooden spoons when I'm cooking.
I can't believe that I was the cause for these mini holes in the pans.
One more thing to emphasize - it is not a scratch just tiny holes. After say 30 days of real use. The real concern here is the Aluminum under the coating which is surely toxic.
There goes ~$100 down the drain.
I will not recommend this product to anyone.

As many reviewers have said, this pan looses its non-stick qualities in a few months (3-4) even using low to moderate heat settings. This particular item is a waste of money...

Mediocre
These pans start out being great then the ceramic coating wears off and the non-stick capabilities isn't as good. Read more

great product
This pan is the best non-stick pan that I have ever used. I find the white surface to be a good asset as well. The white color helps determine the when food is done. Read more

It's great
Needs little oil to cook, the food really does taste better and it's a very simple clean up. I was given the 12" saute pan as a gift and have since bought the 10 1/4" saute... Read more

Replaced my Iron skillet for cooking eggs.
I had been using an iron skillet to cook eggs and such in the morning. It was just too hard to clean the Iron skillet every time we cooked; it too much effort to scrub the eggs off... Read more

eggs are a breeze
I have a few of these pans and clean up is a breeze. We have used them for several months now and they do tend to discolor but that doesnt effect the way it cleans up. Read more

Loses non-stick after a couple months
Pan was incredible at first. Eggs would slip off it. We hand-washed it, only used plastic utensils, no higher than medium heat. Read more

8 inch Bialetti saute pan
I used it as directed, but the edges accumulated grit which I didn't try to remove with a scour pad cause it's not recommended to use.

Good sauté pan
Only dislike is that you must be careful about over heating, but that is probably true of the black ones too. Read more
