What is the Arcilla™ ceramic coating made of?
Arcilla™ is Ember’s proprietary ceramic coating made from naturally derived minerals, free from PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead, cadmium, and other forever chemicals.
Are Ember pans as non-stick as Teflon?
Ceramic isn’t ultra non-stick like Teflon—but that’s a good thing. While it requires a little oil or butter, it cooks cleaner, more evenly, and doesn’t release toxic fumes when overheated. The result? Food that loves you back.
Do I need to be careful while using ceramic cookware?
Not fussy, just mindful. Like any premium tool, your Ember pan thrives with gentle utensils (wood or silicone), low-to-medium heat, and a little oil. No harsh scrubbing, no steel wools—just clean joy.
Does the non-stick performance fade over time?
With care, ceramic stays smooth for years. But unlike Teflon, which degrades invisibly and dangerously, ceramic coatings wear naturally—and safely. If you treat it right, it’ll keep cooking right.
Why choose ceramic over Teflon or traditional non-stick?
Because your health matters. Teflon and many traditional coatings use toxic forever chemicals. Ceramic is a safe, effective alternative—with no compromises on cooking experience or design.
Can Ember cookware be used on induction stoves?
Yes! All Ember pans come with a full-contact induction base and work beautifully on gas, induction, and electric.
What kind of utensils should I use?
Wooden or silicone tools are your cookware’s best friends. Metal? Not so much.
Is Ember dishwasher-safe?
Technically yes. But for the longest life, we recommend a gentle hand wash. It only takes seconds—and your cookware will thank you.
What if my food starts sticking?
A thorough cleaning reset your pan. Plus, our 'Clean Sheet' care guide (included with every purchase) has tips and rituals to keep things flowing smoothly.
