Hello, would anyone have experience with this brand?

In particular the nonstick performance as well as scratch resistance?

Any alternative recommendations?

Thank you. They’re not cheap but if they are indeed durable they could be worth it. We cook nearly every day at home

    Firmly agree. Non-stick is the result of PFAS (specifically PTFE) being temporarily bonded to a metal pan. You can buy a pan with better metal, but PFAS aren’t durable, so you are eating it right away, and it doesn’t break down once it’s in your body.

    “Ceramic” nonstick is not ceramic, it’s just another coating. It’s likely healthier, but also not as durable as metal.

    Cast iron properly used is fairly nonstick, and the coating is not harmful, and it’s self healing. Carbon steel works the same as cast iron from a non-stick perspective. Also, for most foods, sticking is not a bad thing; people just need to let the food cook until it releases without trying to poke it around. Stainless steel is super cheap and durable.
