Best Ceramic Cookware

Ceramic transfers heat best when its substructure is stable and strong (commonly thick) from either stainless steel or aluminum. Also, thicker Ceramic provides a stable, longer life cooking surface.
Great care needs to be taken when cooking with Ceramic as to not rapidly change temperature. Example: hot pan exposed cool /cold water.

I am a fan of triply stainless and upgraded all my cookware to it several years back. When used correctly (there is a learning curve), it is virtually non-stick, distributes heat evenly and is easy to clean up. Even when I've occasionally burnt something, simply soaking it overnight has made the burnt on food release easy enough. It will also last a lifetime without a need for replacement.
The issue with ceramic coatings (or any other coating) is it will wear out over time. I have heard specifically with ceramic coatings they become progressively less non-stick with use. Not to mention the ability to scratch and chip. I used old fashion enamelware cookware (very similar coating to the new ceramics) for years and I always had to be so so delicate as not to scratch or chip it and while food generally released pretty easy, if you did burn something on, it was much more of a process to get it off than with triply because you can't use abrasive cleaners like Bar Keepers Friend on it. There is solid ceramic cookware on the market, which is apparently the safest cookware of all. May be worth checking out if you can be gentle on your pots and pans

A few years ago I was gifted one of those Emeril 12 piece All-Clad stainless steel sets and it's been great. If you can find them for a reasonable price I definitely recommend those. They clean up easy and are very sturdy. I've never used ceramic personally but I think it might be best to purchase individual pieces to suit your needs and not a whole set.
