Are nonstick or ceramic baking sheets worth it?

It depends on your priorities. Verified-purchase reviewers like the easy cleanup of coated pans, but high-engagement cookware community threads repeatedly warn that no nonstick or ceramic coating is buy-it-for-life and that performance degrades within a few years. If you want the longest-lasting pan, reviewers lean uncoated aluminum plus parchment; if you specifically want a PTFE/PFOA-free surface, ceramic options exist but require gentler care.
