Your GreenPan is likely sticking because of a buildup of burnt-on oil (carbonization), cooking on too high of heat, or skipping oil/butter entirely. Ceramic non-stick coatings require a little oil to work properly and can easily lose their slip if residues accumulate.
For the interior: Fill the pan halfway with water and bring it to a near boil for about 2 minutes. Pour out the water and place the pan on a sturdy surface such as a wooden cutting board. Carefully use a restoring sponge (melamine) on the warm surface. This should do the trick.
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.
To prevent eggs from sticking to your GreenPan, always preheat your pan on medium-low heat for about 90 seconds before adding food. Once warm, add a thin layer of butter or oil (like olive, avocado, or canola) to coat the surface, and avoid using aerosol cooking sprays.
No, you should never use commercial cooking sprays on your GreenPan. Aerosol and pump sprays contain additives like soy lecithin and propellants that quickly heat up, burn, and leave a gummy, carbonized residue. This buildup destroys the ceramic non-stick coating and ruins the pan's release properties.
Yes, but with caveats. You can use regular olive oil on low-to-medium heat, but you should avoid extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and non-stick cooking sprays.
Don't go scrub crazy
But for ceramic, glass, aluminum, enameled or nonstick pots and pans, reach for a less-abrasive nylon-mesh pad, and leave the heavy lifting to Dawn.
Yes, but only on the outside of the pan.
The key to making perfect scrambled eggs is whisking the eggs thoroughly and vigorously before cooking them. Whisking incorporates air, which produces fluffier scrambled eggs, and fluffier eggs are always your end goal. PLUS: turn off the heat before the eggs are all the way cooked.
Ceramic pans should be thrown out or replaced when the coating is significantly chipped, peeled, or cracked, or if food consistently sticks despite cleaning. Typically, high-quality ceramic cookware lasts 1 to 3 years with proper care, though daily use or high heat can reduce this lifespan.
Yes, GreenPan is considered a non-toxic alternative to traditional nonstick cookware. Their pans are manufactured without toxic chemicals and offer excellent cooking performance.

MY PAN'S SURFACE IS SCRATCHED, IS THAT A PROBLEM? Scratches, dents, pits or chips in the coating won't affect the safety or performance of your pan.
Food starts sticking to GreenPan's ceramic non-stick surface usually because of built-up, invisible burnt oil residue (carbonization) rather than a worn-out coating. You can restore its slickness by deep cleaning the micro-pores and re-seasoning the surface.
Your ceramic pan is likely sticking because of a buildup of invisible, baked-on oil residue, the use of cooking sprays, or natural degradation of the silica coating from high heat.
With regular use and proper care, GreenPan and other ceramic nonstick pans typically last between 1 to 5 years. Their lifespan heavily depends on how you treat them.
A little splash is all it takes.
It felt like I was eating at a fancy brunch spot. Enough with the preamble, though. Heavy whipping cream, folks: That's the secret ingredient you need to be adding to your eggs the next time you scramble.
The 5-5-5 rule (also known as the 5-5-5 method) is a popular, foolproof technique for cooking hard-boiled eggs in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. It guarantees perfectly cooked yolks and shells that slide right off.
The secret behind IHOP's famously fluffy eggs and omelets is a little pancake batter mixed into the beaten eggs before cooking. It's great for taste and texture — but not so great for anyone following a gluten-free diet!
Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemicals. Dry with a cloth or allow to air dry. For tough stains on nonstick surfaces, use a baking soda and water paste.
Yes, you can use olive oil in ceramic pans, but it comes with a major caveat: avoid extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) and cooking sprays.
Ceramic-coated cookware is generally considered non-toxic. It is typically made from a base material (like aluminum or stainless steel) that is coated with a layer of ceramic.
To make the solution is simple and easy on the wallet! Pour equal parts of vinegar and Dawn into a spray bottle. Gently shake, then spray liberally onto the surface to be cleaned. I have found the best results is when I use it to clean chrome shower and sink fixtures.
People put crumpled aluminum foil in the dishwasher primarily as a hack to make silver or stainless steel utensils and cutlery look shinier.
Ceramic cookware delivers excellent food release, but it performs best with the right cooking habits. For best results, avoid preheating the pan while empty and always add a little butter or oil during preheat. All-Clad recommends butter or high-smoke-point oils such as avocado, grapeseed, or coconut oil.
