Traditional non-stick pans contain PTFE, are manufactured with PFOA and are limited in heat resistance — only up to 260 degrees C / 500 degrees F. PTFE can’t be heated above these temperatures without damaging it. When surpassing this limit, toxic fumes harmful for the human respiratory tract might be released. These fumes are even lethal to small pets, like birds.
During the manufacturing of conventional PTFE based non-stick fry pans, PFOA is used and emitted into the environment. This is a persistent chemical that, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), can be considered as a “likely human carcinogen”.
PFOA can be found in numerous living organisms, even the human body. Studies show that 95% of the population carry PFOA in their blood, recently scientists have found proof that this chemical even passed to babies through mother’s milk.
Knowing that GreenPan (TM) with Thermolon (TM) does not use or contain these chemicals, it clearly offers the consumer a healthier, safer and more environmentally friendly cookware.
Compared with the production of PTFE based non-stick fry pans, our technology allow us to reduce the carbon emissions during the application of the coating by 60%! Next to these benefits, GreenPan (TM) actively reduces packaging material, printing ink and printing colours.
Most raw materials used in production are recycled. It has a THERMOLON Non-Stick Coating, and is Heat-Resistant up to 450 degrees Celcius, (850 F)!
The GreenPan clearly offers the consumer a healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly cookware!
Cooking with GreenPan requires less energy! Because nothing will stick, this cookware allows you to cook healthier with no need for added butters, fats or oils. GreenPan with Thermolon has also earned the Good Housekeeping Seal.
My wife and I had the opportunity to review the GreenPan – and were both impressed. It is heavy duty and handles many cooking tasks. It was nice cooking with a little butter and oil and not much was needed. We are so lucky to award 2 lucky winners!
Check out our YouTube video here.
Here is the news about the giveaway:
Thanks to the wonderful generosity of Green Pan and the Canadian distributer, Jascor Housewares, 2 winners will each receive their own 24 cm healthy cooking Green Pan.

I havent heard of a green frying pan before this. Sounds like it is important to use one. Wish me luck!
The GreenPan sounds like a must have if you care about your diet and the environment!
The nonstick coating, Thermolon, makes the GreenPan an ideal low fat cooking tool. I would love to own one of them.
I LOVE the fact that this pan is healthier to cook with as well as being environmentally friendly.
Very cool prize! THanks.

I own this product and have not been happy with it since day one. It's really a poor quality item with a lot of green marketing behind it.
Why is it bad?
> It scratches very easily
> performs quite poorly against your standard non-stick pans
> It sticks and difficult to clean
Love the idea most of the product is made from recyclables

We have a full set of those dreaded non-stick pans and since we've gone to Clean Eating I'd love to begin removing those pans and replacing with more Earth friendly pans. This pan sounds like a great investment. The video mentions they are expensive – can you provide us with an idea of how expensive? Thanks! PS Winning would of course be cool too if it were to happen. Thanks for the opportunity to try. :)
This a great idea, always looking for green cleaning and cooking products!
This eco-friendly prize would be great to win! Our family has been seriously changing our lifestyles to make it more “green” and “earth-wise”. It's time we ALL started doing this – not only for ourselves – but for our future generations!
