The Green Pan - A MomGadget Review
While I’m not exactly sure I’m totally convinced of the whole ‘global warming’ scare just yet, I am always interested in ways to help improve the planet and the future of my children. Mama’s not always going to be around to take care of them, so I’m laying the ground work now.
What I love most is when a product surfaces that is environmently safe and doesn’t include me getting overly dirty. Composting! Need I say more?
I love to cook nice healthy meals for my family - and while grandmas iron skillet rocks for things like cornbread - there’s an awful lot of elbow grease that goes into cleaning that puppy.
I remember when Teflon came out and my mom getting so excited at the thought of never scrubbing a pan again. No, you didn’t have to scrub it, because the Teflon bubbled up and pealed right out - along with your meal. I’d hate to imagine the amount of Teflon I’ve eatin in my lifetime.
Not my kids! No siree! I’ve been introduced to the Green Pan. This pan is SO cool! If you’ve never stopped channel surfing on the Green Pan infomericial, DO! I’m telling you, it’s all real!
I know, I KNOW, infomercials suck and the ONLY reason I stopped and actually watched one was because I heard Green Pan just before the click of the remote.
This cookware Rocks! GreenPan is first cookware to use Thermolon non-stick coating. The GreenPan line of cookware is ceramic based and doesn’t contain any PTFE - the chemical found in traditional degradable coating, or eco-hazzard chemical PFOA. Designed to be the last cookware you buy and the super non-stick release works up to a sizzling 850 degrees - that’s over 4 1/2 times the heat of a McDonalds coffee.
The thing I like most is I can throw anything in, and skip the oil - the same oil that you can never really figure out what’s healthiest and what’s not. Because NOTHING sticks. No more butters, fats or oils - just healthier meals for your entire family.
Have you ever seen the pans or the stovetop left behind by a teen that’s just learning to cook?
Believe me, I LOVE this cookware!
Less time in the kitchen means more time with my family!
The actual retail value of GreenPan Gourmet Set is $529.75 - BUT it’s I found it available through HSN for $139.90.
Here’s another great idea to add to your Christmas shopping list!

Nice. I want some of these pans. I am in serious need of some new cookware…and dishes and silverware and… I’ve hit that 11 year marriage mark and everything we got for wedding presents is falling apart at the same time. :(

Poor quality! I`m dissapointed. The Pans stick, chip and stick.

I returned mine within a few weeks as the non-stick coating vanished quickly with daily use. The handles would also get dangerously hot. :(

Returned product twice as defective. Bottom of pan scratched easily & wore off. Non-stick vanished. Warranty dept. unavailable!! Have reported this to Good Housekeeping as they initially granted the pan its “seal of approval”. More & more people are finding this product not worth the money. Beware. Also, if you, too, are unhappy please write to Good Housekeeping & have them review their rating. Oh, & by the way, the Green Pan is produced by HSN’s subsidary, Ingenious Designs, so you must take their sales pitch with a grain of salt.

You’ve had these pans for a while now. How have they held up? Seems to be a few negative reviews here so would be great to hear from someone who has had some success.

Would not buy based on the reviews. Check them out on HSN.com. Also not a Joy Mangano fan, and unfortunately she is always on the air with Todd English during the HSN presentations for this cookware.

I am very disappointed by your opening remarks. That demonstates right of the top that your level of scientific understanding is poor. This leads me to believe that the rest of your knowledge may also be limited. You should certainly read more information before making an extremely uneducated comment like this in a public forum. Just ask the top 100 climatologists from around the world … don’t just listen to Al Gore (I’m guessing you are a Republican?) Sorry but the truth hurts!

I’m glad you feel secure enough to be disappointed in my comments, I only wish people who were so cutting were ballsy enough to leave their real contact information.
This “public forum” happens to be my blog. It’s a place I created to say what I thought about various products. Just like you, that’s my right.
I am and always have been a very vocal Democrat, thank you!
And - I’ve listened to several “climatologists” whom I believe are on to something when they say were cycle - we’re in the same “cycle” as we were some 50 years ago or so. Look at history, look at now and you see history repeating itself.
I’m all for protecting our planet, but I am just not convinced of anything yet. It’s not a crime to reserve judgment and not buy into hype.

Like an idiot, I trusted HSN’s ’seal of approval’ and discarded all evidence of purchase. These pans were the cat’s meow and would last for years and years… The larger frying pan ‘worked’ for about a month of normal usage and then I found myself with the scouring side of the kitchen sponge. Wasn’t I doing this with my old cast iron pan??? I found it easier to throw the thing away and avoid frustration. My thoughts are ‘don’t waste your money’.

Buy Swiss Diamond. Forget Green Pan. Wah-hey!

Wow, I was really excited about this product until I read all of the comments. It seems that HSN is just cashing into the green consumerism. Interesting that companies like that actually get us to buy into consumerism by telling us we need something green. If you guys have any better green pan suggestions please let me know–I need to register for pans for my wedding.
