The ceramic non-stick does not contain harmful chemicals so I like to think of it as organic.  It is so slick.  I'm constantly amazed at how good the non-stick is.  The thick core allows you to cook quickly and evenly on medium heat.  We do not use metal utensils even though it is supposedly metal safe.  It's just a habit we have gotten into.  The fry pan looks as good as the day it arrived.
