Excellent! We'd invest in that. In the meantime, what elbow grease? We don't have any non-stick cookware. We put the cookware into hot, soapy water while the cookware itself is still hot and everything cleans right off. Cast iron, carbon steel, stainless, porcelain ... easy.

I've never been an advocate for non-stick cookware: I much prefer the old school method of greasing a pan or, if need be, putting a little elbow grease into washing my dishes. Happily, I came across this 100% ceramic baking dish from Xtrema, and nothing—from bubbling lasagna to the gooiest mac n' cheese—sticks. The black ceramic provides a sleek aesthetic but more importantly, optimum heat distribution and retention, eliminating hot spots and allowing for oven-to-table serving. Without any harmful PFOA coating, the dish is environmentally friendly and non-hazardous, and there's no need to buy special utensils or worry about scratching the surface. And not that any recipe will call for a 2,500 F° oven, but I'm happy to know that if it did, this ceramic dish wouldn't chip, even at such extreme heat.
