Amidst rising concern about the use of toxic carcinogens like PTFE and PFOA in kitchen products, international household product developer and manufacturer, The Cookware Company, has launched GreenPan, a line of high-quality, green cookware for gourmet chefs and home cooks alike. Commonly used in the production of cooking goods since the 1940s, exposure to the chemicals in PTFE and PFOA have been associated with increased cholesterol, uric acid levels and risk of disease. In response to this quandary, the GreenPan line is based on the union of three core standards: convenience, health and environmental sustainability, otherwise known as GreenPan’s “constainability” principle.
The secret to GreenPan’s efficacy and
commitment to personal and environmental wellness is their Thermolon™ non-stick
coating, an environmentally friendly, ceramic alternative to the conventional
non-stick fry pan and other non-stick cookware.
All GreenPan products are designed in Belgium and made of 100% recycled
post-consumer aluminum. They contain no
cadmium, lead or harmful PTFE or PFOA. In addition to being safer, Thermolon is
also a better conductor of heat than traditional non-stick coatings which have
been in the mass consumer market for over 60 years.
“We are extremely proud to have created such
advanced designs for the highest quality and healthiest cookware products in
the world,” said Dieter Naessens, Executive Vice President of Sales in Europe
and the Americas. “Our sleek designs cater to the home chef who loves to cook
good, healthy food with convenience and piece of mind.”
GreenPan
creates many product categories including Cookware, Professional Cookware,
Ovenware, Electrics, Essentials and Accessories. The product lines and
categories are influenced and
named after international environmental conventions and earth-friendly cities. GreenPan cookware is available in a wide array of online and retail locations worldwide.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is PTFE?
PTFE
(Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer which was discovered in 1938.
In 1949 it was introduced as a commercial product. PTFE is an ethyl polymer
where the hydrogen atoms are replaced by Fluor. The polymer has a very big
length and is one of the largest molecules. Since its discovery in 1938, the
PTFE structure has remained unchanged.
What is PFOA?
PFOA
(Perflueoroctoanoic acid also known as C8) is an artificial acid that has many industrial
uses. PFOA can designate the acid itself or its principal salts (like ammonium
perfluorooctanoate). Perfluorooctane sulfonate is a related compound, used as a
surfactant. The durability of PFOA prevents it from breaking down once in the
environment, leading to widespread buildup and bioaccumulation in food chains.

Thank you!
If you overheat your pan, even up to 450/850, no toxic fumes will be released and the coating will not blister or peel.
I learned that when it gets overheated it doesn't let off any toxic fumes!
I learned that low to medium heat settings are recommended for most cooking in this pan. The patented Thermolon coating distributes heat more effectively, causing some protein-rich foods to cook more quickly.

I learned that GreenPan™ does not use PTFE, but brings with Thermolon™ non-stick technology a healthy alternative to the market. Thermolon™ is heat resistant up to high temperatures. This means that GreenPan™ has an extra safety feature; if you overheat your pan, even up to 450°C/850°F, no toxic fumes will be released and the coating will not blister or peel.

I learned that Thermolon™ is better heat conductor than other coatings which results in better searing and crispy frying. The better heat distribution allows for more even cooking.
I learned they use upcycled stainless steel for the pan handles.
Low to medium heat is recommended for cooking

There was a number of things I didnt know, however I take pride in learning new facts. Therein I am honored to mention that the fact that I have the honor of learning was:

I learned you can go straight from the stovetop to the oven.
The patented Thermolon coating distributes heat more effectively
It's heat resistant from damage up to temperatures of up to 450/850.
I learned that that GreenPan™ has an extra safety feature; if you overheat your pan, even up to 450/850, no toxic fumes will be released and the coating will not blister or peel. Since I've occasionally done this and seen those fumes, GreenPan is definitely a product I could use!
