I am enjoying WearEver Pure Living Ceramic Cookware. I have used these daily for 3 months and so far so good. They are stylish, non-stick, and easy to clean. The food cooks very nicely, too, and the handles are comfortable.
From stock pots to braziers, sauce pots to roast pans, Wear-Ever aluminum cookware will seem as though it were custom made just for you. Thoughtfully-designed options include: various handle styles and a range of nonstick coatings, sizes, shapes and covers. Made in the USA, this cookware offers top performance in demanding commercial kitchen environments with durability, consistency, easy cleanup and years of reliable use.
As always we recommend not cooking with any oil, including cooking spray. Besides being bad for your health, it will dramatically reduce the life of your pan. If you don’t use oil, you won’t have to scrub hard to remove it, so you won’t end up taking off the nonstick coating off with the grease!
Overall the construction and quality are solid and functional. The nonstick surface is exactly what you’d want it to be. Whatever you’re cooking just slides right off, and it’s amazingly easy to clean (see below).
For everyday cooking a 10″ skillet is my “go to” pan. It’s small enough to handle easily, but large enough to cook a hardy meal for one or two with plenty of leftovers. I recently picked up the Wearever Ceramic Cookware Pure Living 10.5″ pan. It performs about as well as any nonstick pan I’ve owned. It has a couple of minor aesthetic issues (mentioned below), but it boasts a price tag that can’t be beat.
The bottom of the pan is exposed aluminum. Some ceramic pans, such as the Bialetti, have a coated bottom (check out Maria’s review of the Bialetti here). In general an uncoated surface transfers heat more quickly and efficiently than a coated surface. In addition, the uncoated bottom’s radial textured surface and repeated “W” pattern maximize surface area, so the pan heats up very quickly.
It’s not major issue, but having the rivets exposed inside the actual cooking surface isn’t ideal. The edges of the rivets collect what you’re cooking, and are actually the hardest part of cleaning the pan. It’s not my favorite design, but a lot of other more expensive brands like Calphalon and Cuisinart are constructed the same way.
