I've fallen in love with ceramic non-stick pans as they are very easy to care for and are incredibly non- stick.  You can use metal utensils on this one without scratching and it is dishwasher safe although they encourage hand washing for longer life.  As nothing sticks to it they are very easy to wash out.  This pan is certainly heavier than most of this kind  and retains heat better than most when you add food.  The handle stays cool too which is another important plus.  It also works on induction ranges if you have one which most ceramic pans do not.  A great pan for the money.
