So far so good.
Lets see how they cook and look after 1 year.

The T-fal is ultra non-stick, attractive, and lighter than my carbon steel frying pan.
The T-fal ceramic non-stick jumbo cooker is a nice addition to my collection of kitchenware. It is attractive sitting on the stove with its cream colored outer surface and gold colored handles. The glass lid has a metal rim that fits snuggly against the pan when a tight seal is desired. At five quarts, the T-fal ceramic non-stick is large enough to accommodate meals for a large family or when guests are expected.The T-fal weighs about 49.5oz without the lid and 79.3 with. That compares to my 12in carbon steel frying pan that weighs 58.2 without the lid and 91.0 with. The T-fal is about half again as large as the carbon steel pan and has a long handle that is comfortable and easy to grip. The T-fal has a small circle in the center of the frying surface which changes when the pan is heated up to where it is “ready to cook”. Although this seems like a nice feature, I have never used it because the food in the pan usually obscures it (I usually put the food in the pan while it is heating up) and I am more inclined to judge the readiness of the pan to cook by the state of the oil in the pan (if it is starting to smoke, the pan is ready). To me, the little circle appears to be a feature without a function, but others, with different cooking styles, may draw a different conclusion.When I got this pan I had two concerns: First, given its large 12 inch diameter, (the largest burner on my glass top is nine inches in diameter) would the pan transfer heat to the outer edges for even cooking? It does probably a little better than my 12 inch carbon steel pan. Secondly, other ceramic frying pans I have owned came with warnings that heating them to too high a temperature would cause them to loose their non-stick properties. And, they were right. The pans were quickly useless after only a few uses although I never felt I used them in a fashion that the non-stick surface should fail. I have used the T-fal close to a dozen times, and so far, it’s non-stick surface is working just fine. When I use it, I turn the burner up to high to quickly bring the pan up to the temperature on which I plan on using it. Then, I turn the burner down to keep it at the desired temperature. After a dozen uses, nothing sticks to it…not even a little. After using the T-fal for about a month, I’m very pleased with it. It is truly a non-stick pan, it is attractive in the kitchen, and it is not quite as heavy as my carbon steel frying pan of comparable size. Although, out of habit, I still use the carbon steel pans for most of my stove top cooking, my roommate tends to use the T-fal. And, I don’t blame her because it certainly is more non-stick and vastly easier to clean up than the carbon steel pans in my kitchen.

Can’t Decide? Get the Jumbo Cooker – A Great Versatile Pan/Pot Combo. Only Ceramic for Nonstick.
The Jumbo Cooker is a great pan/pot combo. It’s large enough to cook spaghetti easily, and uses safe nonstick ceramic. TLDR? I spend a lot on cookware and I keep it for decades. I use top tier products that I purchased from specialty retailers in Paris (I lived there for many years), or from leading enamel cast iron brands. (I also have my Grans cast iron skillet.). I’ve tried several cooktop pots and pans from Amazon. I didn’t keep any of them. This one I’m keeping. It’s great.NON STICKINESSI tested the nonstick-iness with my fave cheesy scrambled eggs. Takes 3 minuts to make and about 7 minutes to clean up because it’s really REALLY sticky. Not in this pan. I could have just wiped it out with a paper towel. TBH, I don’t trust anything with teflon or any non-stick other than ceramic. Non Stickiness test?? CHECK!WEIGHT AND BALANCEThe pan is really well balanced. The handle and helper handle are made of some metal (?) that resists heat. I can hold this pan with one hand, tip it to use a spatula with the other hand to put the food right on the plate. To me, that’s AMAZING! I can easily fill the pan with water for pasta and move it without “heft”. The helper handle does get a little bit hot as it’s close to the pan side, so I had to use a small towel to handle it after boiling pasta.HEAT DISTRIBUTION AND RETENTION – BONUS! A FRENCH TOP!I use a gas cooktop, we only get propane out here, so depending on your cooktop, your results might vary a bit. I usually use cast iron pots and pans or copper, so nothing is going to beat that heat distribution. However, I found the heat distribution for the Jumbo to be pretty okay.Oddly, though for me the heat distribution being a little uneven (hotter in the middle, less hot on the sides), allowed me to saute different vegy’s for different amounts of time using the same pan! I cooked each vegy one at a time in the middle, and then just shoved them over to the side when they were almost done. Because the Jumbo Cooker has such a wide bottom, it sort of acts like a “French Top” cooker, in that it’s slightly hotter in the middle and less hot at the sides. I had a “french top” cooktop when I lived abroad, and it was great. This pot has such a wide bottom and medium tall sides, that it creates it’s own “french top” if the flame is on HIGH, but handles a gentle simmer easily as well.LIDLove this lid. It’s glass so easy to see what’s going on. The steam vent is something I’ve never had before. It definitely stops steam build up and makes it easier to avoid getting scalded when I take the top off for a stir or something.AESTHETICS, CLEANUP AND DURABILITYI’ve only had this pot for a couple weeks, but I cook every day, and I’ve used it a lot. I’ve only used silicone and wood in the pot, and it looks as good as new. It’s easy to clean with just dish soap and water, although the pot really seems to be okay with just a wipe. The sides are high, so food doesn’t splash out. The lid because it’s glass needs more cleanup vs. the pot itself.I have the blue/gray color and it looks really sharp with the gold toned handle and helper handle. It doesn’t look cheap. The metal rim around the side of the lid is silver (stainless I guess). Overall a great look.OVERALLStill here? Yea, I love this cooker. If you’ve read this far, you’re already invested in the thing, Go ahead and get it! I bet you’ll love it just like me.
