For people who like to listen to their news and info, this is ideal. I haven't listened to it yet, I'd probably just Google and find something written.

My ceramic fry pan stopped being non-stick after not-much use, although I was exceptionally careful with what I used to clean it (nothing at all metallic, no abrasive powders, just dish soap), and using only rubbery type spatulas etc. And its white surface is now mostly brownish gray and just plain looks dirty. Fortunately, it's not super-stick like a lot of non-sticks that lose their coatings, so it still serves most purposes with plenty of vegetable or olive oil. So, we have to live with far-less-than-perfect, as we just can't keep building up PFAS in the environment (and consequently in our bodies).

My stainless-steel Instant Pot has been just fine so far, and it has seen a lot of use. Not good for things where i need to get a spatula under the food as the pot is too deep, but anyway, I haven't had problems cleaning.
