Is Carbon Nonstick as nonstick as traditional or ceramic nonstick?Updated 20 days ago

Short answer: It can be. 

Long answer: Traditional nonstick (Teflon) and ceramic are both made with chemical coatings that create a nonstick effect on your pans. Carbon Nonstick does not contain any chemical coating, therefore it won't perform exactly the same as chemical nonstick. However, while ceramic and other nonstick pans lose their nonstick coating as you use them, Carbon Nonstick will actually become more nonstick with use as cooking oils build up on the pan’s surface (this is called seasoning, and Carbon Nonstick seasons naturally as you use it). So while your other nonstick pans will be useless in a matter of years, your Carbon Nonstick has the potential to last forever.
