Ceramic non-stick

Cuisinart has a ceramic non-stick line called Green Gourmet which looks interesting. It has the benefit of being nonstick but not a coating that has been applied, which can wear off over time like teflon or others like it.

Ceramic, depending on the type can be very durable and non-porous, the trick is to get it to bond to a metal surface and make it durable (a lot of ceramic can just crack).

Supposedly, I think Todd English has a non-stick ceramic line but I haven't seen it, and it's suppose to not wear well.

Also confusing, Cuinsart has a greencuisine line which seems to be made from similar ceramic technology, however the build quality of the pots and pans are lower it seems. The handles and the shell of the pots and pans are thinner.

An annoying factor is that Bed Bath and Beyond has a special on a griddle for only 29.99 but it never seems to be in stock! Was hoping to get to try one before Christmas.
