Wishing to move away from teflon/coated non-stick frying pans (fear I've consumed quite a bit of that teflon!)
I've an electric (induction?) hob. What are the best alternatives that won't cause everything to burn/stick: ceramic, stainless steel?

Reader: it WAS insipid, despite my efforts.
Trying a M&S Thai green curry paste pot in tonight's dinner. Not optimistic as I've previously found M&S sauces rather insipid. Have, so far, added garlic, ginger, chilli, lemongrass (grown by me 😁). Pondering a second green curry pot.
Reminds me of the "Stone Soup" story from childhood.
