This set is beautiful and wonderful to cook with, but there are some important things to keep in mind. I was a little concerned after reading the instructions that olive oil is not recommended. I cook almost exclusively with olive oil. That being said, so far, so good. I haven't had any issues. I try not to cook on too high of a heat. I also make sure to clean by hand with the soft side of the sponge. The outside of two of my pans have already scratched, despite handling pretty carefully. I have each one lined when stacked, but placing into the cabinet, it did hit the side of the cabinet on the way in/out with the bottom pan. I think the inside is coated differently and a little more durable. I would have loved for a larger pot to come with this set and I'll likely have to purchase one separately because this pot is not large enough (for me at least) with sauces, soups, stews, etc. I'll rely on my Dutch oven for those. All in all, the food cooks really well and I've been enjoying the results and ease of the non-stick coating with cleaning.
I have always been a huge fan of green pans. These are a step up from from what I have come to expect. This makes me embrace cooking and feel assured I am protecting and keeping my family safe with this brand of pans!
Does not stand up to my Valencia pans, which these replaced. The quality is far poorer. After two weeks of use, the pans are already chipping. They get too hot on med low heat which says something about the quality of their construction. They get fast, but but it’s obvious these are bottom off the line offerings from green pan. I’m so disappointed and wish we had done more looking around because there is no ways I’ll get 4 years out of these like I did my last set.
Love these pans, they are so easy to clean and cook with. I am also so grateful to have an adorable option that is PFAS free. Hopefully they last for a bit.
