Apparently I'm an idiot. But they still aren't great

Update: going in for round 2 with a lot of butter and low heat. Stay tuned (10:58pst)

Update update : see pics below of retest on low heat with all the butter

I'd be more worried about the harmful chemicals it's probably leaching into your food.

arent these pans ceramic? i dont think you have to worry about chemicals. the downside is they aren't really as non-stick as the teflon ones.

I added this below in another comment but that's not a for sure thing. Now again I'm not saying every cheap pan is suspect, or going to poison you or anything. But it's possible, and one place that would give me concern is a pan that shows it's not up to the quality marketed.
