GreenPan Giveaway





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. 


Readers who would like to learn more about GreenPan and to explore the extensive line of products are invited to visit www.green-pan.us



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.

    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 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.

    60% less CO2 is emitted during the curing phase of production of Thermolon™ coatings, compared to the emissions during the curing phase of production of traditional coatings on an aggregate level worldwide
