Depends on what it is. Silicon carbide is “just” carbon and silicon. There’s other kinds like zirconium which isn’t.
Also, the cheaper “ceramic” pans aren’t actually ceramic in the engineering sense. They’re more like ceramic powder held in some kinda binder and that binder is probably very not good for you.
The fact that companies like green pan won’t say what their “ceramic” actually is says a lot about the matter.
Is ceramic harmful if you ingest it like that? It’s mostly just carbon and silicon, right? Like eating sand.
