What is the enamel? Same as ceramic? I’ve got ceramic pans that now stick like crazy and I went back to steel

"Ceramic" is just different proprietary PFAS chemicals that are not Teflon and so haven't been proven to cause cancer (yet).

Enamel is a baked on paint like you'd put on pottery. Kind of glassy.
