Limitations

Review-derived and observational: rates are the share of sampled reviews that mention a problem, not a lab-measured failure rate. Reviews are self-selected, the corpus is a 2023 vintage, and problem mentions come from keyword/NLP labelling. Association is not causation. Material is the declared surface material (coating where stated, otherwise body); many listings are untagged, so groups are not exhaustive.

Editor's note

Ceramic reports nonstick failure at 0.40% vs 0.25% (1.6×; 25,824 vs 114,430). The absolute difference is 0.15 points; ‘ceramic’ is not automatically the longer-lived coating. See Frying pans .

Practical tips
  • Do not pay a ceramic premium for durability alone.
  • Look for coating-specific complaints.
