How do people feel about the GreenPan products?
2 comments

I've not heard of GreenPan before, so I took a look at their website [1]

There is not a whole lot of information available on their site.

From the Thermolon™ page[2]:

> ...contains zero harmful chemicals. > PFAS, Lead, Cadmium, etc., are not put into it.

> Thermolon is based on a derivative of sand that is transformed into a sprayable solution through a sol-gel process. Zero harmful PFAS chemicals are involved in that process.

Great, but what chemicals are used in their products? What do they ACTUALLY put in the coating?

Why trust a company like this? If you're worried, then just learn to cook and use cast-iron, copper, stainless steel.

I own a few GreenPan products and started to wonder so I did some digging - seems they were subject to a class action lawsuit [1] which was voluntarily dismissed since it reached settlement[2].

Hard to know if it had much merit since it was unsuccessful though.
