Cookware: GreenPan

[anna7602]

I did a search on the boards and only found one reference by h. Does anyone else use them? Have anything to say? I am considering investing in a set to replace the cookware I've had for the last thirteen years since we got married. (And Hens, feel free to say more!)

UGH! Not impressed.

My dad had a set and he loved them. I prefer my stainless, cast iron or my single teflon pan for eggs.

I don't have that brand, but I have ceramic pans. I do like them; you just have to be careful how to stack them - if you read reviews on Amazon, make sure you put paper towels or something in between so the ceramic doesn't get nicked and the preferred method of cleaning is hand washing.

I prefer my stainless pans and my Calphalon simple ceramic pan

I think I lied before! The nonstick pan I like that is supposedly environmentally friendly is a Scanpan

I do have a Green Pan, but it's not great.

We are on our second frying pan. They last about as long as teflon pans - which is not a long time, IMO. However, it is good for eggs and I do not use teflon, so I like it. We have regular pots and pans (not non-stick) for everything else.

I loved our set - for about a year. They will be 5 years old this October and now I am not as much of a fan. But it isn't like I could have afforded a more expensive set (we got them at 80% off) and so getting 5 years out of them seems fine.

Per the current Cooks Illustrated edition, look into carbon steel pans too.

I think green pans are gimmicky.

LOVE our scanpan!
