Sep 14, 2022 at 18:50 comment added Esther @kporangehat unfortunately, ceramic cookware often remains non-stick for less time than teflon, and teflon often only lasts a year or two. So the pan stopping to be nonstick after about 6 months sounds normal...
Sep 12, 2022 at 22:09 comment added AMtwo @kporangehat Without seeing your cookware, or knowing how it's been treated for the last 6 months, I can't say why yours might not be working up to your expectations. I've updated my answer slightly, including adding a link to & excerpt from the care instructions from the manufacturer of your pan, which explicitly states "skip the seasoning"

Sep 12, 2022 at 19:58 comment added kporangehat My pan is only about 6 months old. We have cared for it pretty well, no metal utensils, soft washing, perhaps some higher heating at times but nothing nuts for sure. There are a ton of sites that state you can and should season your ceramic cookware. Many seem legit and from reputable sources, so I find this comment that we shouldn't, confusing. What is the best way to get the pan as clean as possible to try again? If it's smooth to the touch but still slightly discolored in areas, is this clean enough or do we need to rid the pan of the discoloring as well somehow?
Sep 10, 2022 at 17:28 comment added Tetsujin I've had a couple of these 'miracle' ceramics. They went in the bin after a couple of months. Waste of money. I'm sure you could eventually build a full seasoning on one, but I never had the patience. You can certainly semi-permanently cleave an egg to one, unlike they show on the adverts. ;)
