ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.—GreenPan cookware with Thermolon non-stick coating is the first environmentally-friendly, PTFE-free non-stick cookware available since the introduction of non-stick technology in 1960. Utilizing a ceramic-based non-stick technology, GreenPan provides professional chefs with superior performance and an unrivaled ability to cook without scratching or overheating. The cookware is available as a six-piece set.
Despite numerous modifications and improvements to non-stick technology over the last several decades, the essential element in traditional non-stick technology, polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), has remained the same since it was created in 1938. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical used to manufacture PTFE. In January of 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiated the PFOA Stewardship Program, in which eight major manufacturers voluntarily agreed to reductions by 2010, and complete elimination of PFOA by 2015. The EPA stated that PFOA has been found in the environment and that studies indicated effects of concern.
Thermolon is the first patented, ceramic-based non-stick coating that performs at high temperatures without deterioration. It is PTFE-free, and uses no PFOA in manufacturing, making GreenPan cookware environmentally-friendly.
The advanced performance benefits of long-lasting GreenPan cookware include:
• High heat resistance: pots/pans are oven safe/stovetop safe to 850º Fahrenheit, and tempered glass lids are oven safe to 420 º Fahrenheit.
• Scratch and abrasion resistance: no more worrying over flaking, peeling or off flavors in your foods.
• Superior non-stick release: surface does not breakdown or wear over time, and is healthier because you don’t need added butter, fat or oils.
• Even heat conductivity: throughout the surface and up the walls for even browning.
• Heat-resistant, stainless steel handles: for convenient handling.
• Lightweight yet durable: for easier handling and consistent performance.
• Dishwasher safe: easy to clean.
