It seems as though everyone here has been putting too much stock into what they've read on the internet.

1) You can get quality non-stick pans that can handle high heat and metal utensils. I have a Calphalon skillet that is good to 500 degrees and okay to use with metal utensils, and has a lifetime warranty.

2) There is more than kind of anodizing process out there. Type III (hardcoat) anodizing on higher quality cookware has been a staple of commecial cookware for probably 50 years. This is actually what Calphalon made their name in.

tl;dr - don't generalized based on the lowest quality shit out there

Since the mid '90s (if I am remembering correctly), they stopped making CorningWare out of Pyroceram and just switched to regular ceramics. Ceramic bakeware has a number of drawbacks, while true CorningWare is an engineered glass with very few. It can handle rapid temperature changes as well as direct heat, doesn't absorb water, is impact resistant, is very hard to scratch, etc. It is generally more durable than enameled cast iron and has similar thermal properties.

And if you are really on a budget, a few trips to Goodwill would result in a solid collection of Cornflower or Spice o' Life patterns.

Then get some CorningWare and go straight from the stove to the oven.
