I hate frying anything (don't like the oiliness or the smell) but have just bought a ceramic frying pan as I am supposed to be able to use it with just a spray of oil, or even none. If it works at home will be taking it camping.

Does anyone use one? Any advice?

I bought one for the very same reasons as yourself but beware of the cheaper ones as they still allow everything to stick.
A good pan will let you fry an egg without any oil at all and it still wont stick but always wise to use a little oil and that spray oil is great with very little mess if any.

Bought mine from Asda. Friend bought one at the same time. Both of us regretted it. Hope you have better luck with yours.

This is why I bought an expensive one, the Asda one just didn't seem to do what those on QVC did...lol.

I have a slightly more expensive version (something like vita verde) and it's great for cooking omelettes which we eat a lot of for breakfast, but I do use some butter for these as I like the taste. When frying peppers/onions etc, it seems to take ages for them to brown... most odd.

I can't comment on the 'sliding fried egg off pan trick', as not tried them (but I might now). I bought the pan as a whim as had been told they were good, and old omelette non-stick pan had gone to pan heaven.

Mine has an oven-proof handle also, so I've made Tarte Tatin a few times ... delicious.

Have had a couple of ceramics in the past from 'decent' cookware shops and was not impressed, they lost their non-stick very quickly.

Recently bought a couple of the 'copper stone' pans advertised on TV by JML. Haven't had them long enough to comment on durability but they are brilliant for fried eggs, although we had a couple of over-cooked failures in the beginning because they seem to get hotter than our previous pans.

Not relevant for caravan, but be warned they're not meant to go in a dishwasher.

I brought one of the more expensive ones and it too lost its non-stick properties, might have to invest in a copper one if there any good!

I've got two and they're brilliant. I also bought one of the speckly grey omelette pans at one of the shows last year. It wasn't cheap but is even better and I believe it has a lifetime guarantee.

Bought a fairly cheap one from Lidl.   A waste of money.
It is non stick OK, but it warped badly, so any oil etc ran to the edges and left the centre dry. I've found this with other pans, so now I only buy ones with a bonded base. I use both Lakeland 'my kitchen' and Fissler pans at home.

Reading up on this, it appears to do with the shape of the pan and how it expands when heated.

Some mixed reviews there. I haven't tried it yet but will report back when I do. It was the best buy budget pan as I didn't want to spend a lot if it then turned out I wouldn't use it so it may be rubbish!

Use an ancient cast iron pan that has been well seasonned over the years. Nothing sticks and little oil or fat needed. Do not was but simply wipe out when warn wih kitchen paper. Best pan my great granny ever used and now getting the benefit of it.

I dont understand them. With any good non-stick pan you can cook quite easily without oil or with the tiniest spray. No need for ceramic at all.

I use a fairly cheap non-stick frying pan. I usually take a small bottle of spray oil or one-cal type stuff with me. Not had anything stick so far. I tend to replace the pans when they get too scratched - get about 5 years from each pan which costs about £3-£5

Just used my cheapo ceramic pan. I used the one cal spray and it was OK at frying onions but I think onions need more oil However it was excellent at cooking the lentil and rice burgers that I made, they went all brown and crispy with just a couple of sprays and didn't stick at all. Pan wiped clean easily.

Will be trying other things now

and my son was delighted that he got lentil and rice burger wraps for lunch

Bought several from lidl and use on induction hob no problem. Not tried in van yet (gas).

Used to use cast iron, but weight became a problem.
