Utilizing GREBLON — an ultra-safe dual ceramic coating from Germany, the Green Earth Pan Set by Ozeri includes 3 award-winning frying pans that achieve non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of PTFE, PFOA and APEO. The Green Earth Frying Pan Set by Ozeri includes an 8, 10 and 12 inch pan with each pan featuring a honeycomb ceramic cooking surface designed to prevent food bonding. The elevations of the textured cooking surface also create air pockets which distribute heat underneath food to enhance cooking performance. Conventional cookware and other ceramic cookware brands achieve their non-stick performance through a coating of PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), a synthetic substance that has waxy properties. At very high temperatures, PTFE begins to decompose and release fumes which are documented to be lethal to birds and small pets, and can be harmful to humans. In addition, traditional pans incorporating PTFE are often manufactured with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), which the EPA has classified as a ‘persistent pollutant of the environment’, and APEO (Alkylphenol ethoxylates), which are under restricted use in Germany due to environmental concerns about their poor biodegradability, toxicity to aquatic life, and potential to act as endocrine disrupters. With the Green Earth Pan’s GREBLON ceramic, even under high temperatures, no harmful toxic fumes are ever released into the environment. This is because each pan utilizes a 100% ceramic coating inspired by nature – not a laboratory. In addition to being completely free of PTFE, PFOA and APEO, each pan is also far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. With better non-stick properties, the Green Earth Pan allows you to saute, fry, bake, boil and braise with as little as half the amount of oil normally used, and cleaning is a breeze. Each Green Earth Pan is made of the highest quality die-cast aluminum that allows for even cooking and fantastic browning without hot spots. Each pan boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a heat resistant silicone coated handle. GREBLON ceramic made by Weilburger GmbH, Germany. Final assembly in China.

Much Better Than High End Cast Iron Updated May 2012 – I wrote the first review in January. After using these pans daily since we received them, I have to say they’re still terrific. I know some of the reviews report that the non-stick coating doesn’t last, but we haven’t had any issues with them. I don’t wash the pans. I do wipe them out with a dish towel as soon as I remove food from them, when they’re still warm. I keep them seasoned with a small amount of coconut oil. Occasionally, residue builds up on the side of one of the…
Buyer Beware I bought these pans probably 6 years ago, I use the biggest one for stir fry, the other 2 don’t get used. I used to try to make eggs over easy with these pans but end up with a big mess, so I just use another pan I bought later for that. This morning I went to make scrambled eggs I used enough butter to coat the bottom of the pan and it still ended up with egg sticking to the whole bottom. The textured bottom just seems to grab hold of items.My recommendation would be to look…
Good for a bit, then they stick! Believe the other reviews that report the non-stick quality failing after a few months of use.I bought these as a healthier alternative to Teflon-based non-stick pans. They were non-stick for a short time, then things started to stick inside the pits. They don’t like anything above medium heat, and caramelizing anything, causes it to stick. I thought “nobody would sell a non-stick pan that only lasts 6 months…” boy was I wrong!Do yourself a favor and go with a…
