GreenPan Lawsuit Dismissed In 2019, a lawsuit was brought against GreenPan claiming false advertising and concluded with no findings of liability by the company. The case was dismissed. What we said about our products is true. Thermolon coating is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium.
Reviewers on Amazon have warned wear and tear on GreenPan's cookware can build up quickly if you don't clean it with care. Ceramic cookware is prone to chipping and scratching, which is why the brand recommends cooking with silicone utensils over harsh metal spatulas or tongs.
A: Green pan says to avoid olive oil and spray oils, as they burn quickly. While researching pans a few reviewers did ruin pans. I have used evoo at lower temperatures as not to scorch it, and haven't damaged the pans.
The answer is yes! Traditional nonstick coatings are made from plastic synthetics. GreenPan cookware is a healthy alternative, free from PFAS, PFOA, cadmium and lead.
All GreenPan products are coated with Thermolon™. This was the first and best ceramic nonstick coating to be launched on the market in 2007. Since then, we've created eight generations of Thermolon™. Each is manufactured without forever chemicals known as PFAS and without any Lead or Cadmium.
Overheating + oils= carbonization (a.k.a. those little spots that cause your food to stick to the pan). But don't worry! You can use a melamine sponge (e.g. our Restore Sponge) to wipe them away.
Consumers can buy lead-testing kits in hardware stores or online. The kits contain swabs with instructions on proper use of the swabs and reading of the results. In most cases, the consumer will rub the swab on the food-contacting surface of the pottery.
The short answer, No!
“The most nontoxic cookware that you can buy is stainless steel, cast iron or carbon steel; things that don't have a coating on them,” says Alexis Pisciotta, culinary purchasing and events manager and cookware consultant for Food Network.
It is often the case that the Bakelite handle of the pan has been exposed to extreme heat (if the pan has not been placed on the hob correctly). Exposing the Bakelite handle to such extreme heat will cause the smell and possibly even some burning of the handle.

TL;DR: With about the same lifespan (2-5 years) as other high-quality nonstick cookware, GreenPan uses a “healthy ceramic nonstick” coating (Thermolon) that is PTFE, PFAS, Cadmium, and PFOA free, giving chefs the peace of mind that their nonstick cookware is safe to use.
If your pan is too hot, your eggs will most definitely stick. If your pan is too cool, they will stick because they have been sitting in the pan too long. One way to tell if your pan is ready is the water drop method. Flick a few drops of water onto the pan.
We do manufacture many of our GreenPan, GreenLife, Blue Diamond and Merten and Stork products in China. We manufacture our new Stanley Tucci collection in Italy. Unlike most cookware companies, we own our factory, and we carefully control the process.
A melamine sponge (such as the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser) will do the trick. Use light pressure and warm water with your melamine sponge to remove the carbonized layer of fat and your Green Pan™ will start cooking (and stop sticking) like new!
GreenPan is the inventor of the original healthy ceramic nonstick. We are the first and best toxin-free alternative to traditional nonstick coatings. Our cookware products are free of PFAS (also known as forever chemicals), PFOA, lead, and cadmium.
In the past, Teflon coating included an ingredient called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). PFOA is a type of PFAS that has been linked to kidney and liver problems. The FDA banned the use of PFOA in cookware in 2014. If you have a Teflon pot or pan that was made before 2014, you should get rid of it.
Some cooks rely on ceramic cookware because of its non-stick properties, but for the seasoned home cook, ceramic lacks the durability and versatility of stainless steel cookware.
Trusted for Generations. Calphalon is a brand our customers rely on. Our products are safe, and compliant with with all applicable federal and state safety regulations.
Avoid all oils in spray form, as the tiny particulates will heat up quickly and burn, creating a layer of carbonization on your pan.
GreenPan frypans lack harmful chemicals and toxins such as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as forever chemicals, as well as PFOA, lead, and cadmium. GreenPan products came onto the culinary scene in 2007, boasting a reimagined and healthier ceramic nonstick coating.
You can use olive oil, and many other cooking oils, with GreenPan cookware. Olive oil and oil in general not only helps your food taste better, it also helps distribute heat more efficiently while you're cooking; this means a better sear and more even results. The trick is to control your temperature.
Lead exposure can cause high blood pressure and brain, kidney and reproductive health issues in adults. Symptoms of lead poisoning include headaches, stomach cramps, constipation, muscle/joint pain, trouble sleeping, fatigue, irritability, and loss of sex drive. Most adults with lead poisoning don't look or feel sick.
To conclude, Cast iron cookware brings more good than harm. It can serve as non-stick cookware if you treat and maintain it properly. And it has no lead or toxic materials that are harmful to our health.
In Mexico, the main source of lead poisoning is the glaze used in artisanal Mexican pottery. These pots, an iconic Mexican tradition, are usually made in small, family-run kilns, often by indigenous communities. The lead is used in the glaze to prevent liquids from leaching and to give color and shine.
