Sleek, pretty, and damn near perfect for oven-finished chicken, ceramic cookware is fully having a moment in the culinary world. Combining this even heat of a ceramic with the durability of steel is this Blue Diamond Triple Steel Diamond-Infused Ceramic Nonstick pan.

Featuring two layers of stainless steel with an aluminum core (not to mention an exotic Midnight Diamond coating), this restaurant-grade pan delivers even heating and next-level performance for a superb price. 

With most ceramic pans hitting closer to a $100 price point, this $40 multifunctional 11” chef’s pan offers quality for a price that won’t make you dry heave. So, why ceramic over cast iron, hexclad, or aluminum? Ceramic retains heat for a little longer, which may keep you from burning ingredients. It’s also easier to clean than cast iron (which needs to be re-seasoned) not to mention ceramic is about as non-stick as you can get. 

Perfect for stove tops and the oven, this PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium-free, this handsome ceramic pan is dishwasher safe and able to withstand oven and broiler temperatures of up to 600°F. 

Get this 11” steel ceramic chef’s pan for $40.70 on Amazon and get cooking.
