Non-lasting
on June 30, 2020

from GRAND PRAIRE,TX
So I purchased these back in February. Id figure i'd give it a couple of months and I'm glad I did. The 1st month they were amazing NOTHING stuck to them at all. I could wipe them clean without hand washing. They heat up super quick (gas stove) I only cook on medium heat now. After a couple of washes (I don't own a dishwasher, shocker i know) they seem to be less non-stick. Everything gets stuck (bacon use to slide right off) and now I have to work a little more to get them clean. Also seems to be wearing on the top layer (coating coming off) I only use wood and plastic spoons. They seem to still scratch the pans. Overall they were OK. They do the job but I would not purchase again. I will stick to CUISINART they lasted 5years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Non-Stick Pans!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the GreenPan - Ceramic NonStick 16 piece Pan Set for a little over a month now, and have been using them daily! So far they have held up great to the everyday wear and tear.
Just as promised, they are truly non-stick! The best non-stick pans I have ever owned! I have been mindful to follow directions and care guide by cooking on Medium heat and using butter or oil while cooking. Eggs and cheese slide right off, and it's non-stick properties make cleaning super easy! No scrubbing needed at all!

There are however, just one or two cons. The fact that these pans are not to be used above Medium heat, leaves me with little use for the large 5qt Casserole pot. It's good for things like simmering Chili. But when it comes to boiling water, like for cooking pasta, it was practically impossible to get water to a rolling boil, when the Pans are not meant to be used above Medium heat. After a long wait for my water to boil the 1st time, I actually timed how long it took for tap water at room temp to boil. Having waited over 20 minutes on Medium heat, I only achieved light bubbles, still no rolling boil.
The other issue I had with this 16 piece set, was with the Bamboo Utensil accessories. When new, I washed the set prior to 1st use, and when it came to washing them with my sponge, they were not smooth. In fact they had splinters which snagged my sponge, leaving it ripped up with traces of sharp wood embedded into it, and pieces of sponge stuck to the utensils themselves. This issue happened with 3 out of 4 of the utensils.

Overall I give these pans a 4 out of 5 stars, since the large pot on Medium heat doesn't produce a rolling boil of water; and the utensils aren't of the best quality. But I am highly satisfied with the pans' quality and aesthetic, as well as the non-stick feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Piece of Garbage.
on February 9, 2022
Posted by: Diglet

These pans worked amazing for about 7 days. They went from "non-stick" to "non-slip" in no time at all. They became impossible to clean and impossible to cook with even when using larger quantities of oil to make up for the now sticky surface. NO amount of scrubbing, soaking, or anything in between could remove these stains.
When asked for a refund, we were (rudely) told that the warranty was void because we misused the pans. Apparently we cooked things on too high of a temperature. I didn't realize they were watching us when we cooked! Funny thing is, we followed the instructions in regards to not maxing out the temp because the instructions were specific about that.
Other, less infuriating issues were the lack of compatibility from lid to lid. Why make the large pot and the steaming pan different size lids by like a 1/4 of an inch? So they can sell it as a 16 piece set! The handles became loose after a few uses too. Surely that wasnt a result of cooking things on too high, was it? We never went near these things with metal, and yet, using the bamboo utensils provided, there were knicks in it after only a few uses.
Don't waste your money on these pans. The lowest quality pans you can get, and if they aren't satisfactory, then guess what? You have to live with it because they don't care! From now until forever, I will actively spread the word to friends and family to avoid this piece of garbage product at all costs.

I bought this set less than a year ago and all the pans have become non -stick to the point where I have to throw them put. I would not recommend.

Done in by fatal design flaw--handle burns
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: MomInMaine
from Maine
BEWARE! The pan part works well, love the light interior so I can see how much browning is happening. But the handles have a fatal design flaw: they burn! The metal part is so short that no matter what size burner you are on (we have a gas stove) the plastic burns and emits nasty fumes. Happens on both pans. At least I have learned to never buy a pan without a metal handle for at least half of the handle. These are flat out dangerous. They are also bulky and don't nest well for storage, but that is minor compared to the burnt handle. Sorry, GreenPan. Love your concept, but this pan needs to be fixed or pulled from the market. Wish I could return these and find some with metal handles.

Non-stick coating failure: anyone concerned with environmental sustainability should not consider products that fail to perform so quickly

Horrible and put me in danger.
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: Nikki9
I had these pans for almost a year when the handles when on fire while cooking on medium heat. Only then did I realize the underside of every single handle of these pans are browned on the bottom and could have burst into flames at any moment. I contacted customer service three times only to be ignored.

Big disappointment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had these pans for over a week now and I’ve used them both multiple times. I followed all the recommendations as to how to store them, wash them and cook with them, yet food STILL stuck to them even over low heat! And even though I’ve had them less than a month and took great care of them, they still look beat up, dinged up and used up!! Sadly I cannot recommend these to anyone.
