GreenPan Chatham 12 Ceramic Nonstick Open Frypan

I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I was talking about this pan to my friend today and I was telling her that I love this pan so much that I’m actually considering throwing out all my pans. 😂🤭 I didn’t realize how impressive a pan could be until I started using this. It does not scratch, no matter what. And I love the nonstick - it’s actually nonstick, not a false promise. It is so easy to clean. And I don’t know maybe this is just me, but I think my food tasted better in this in comparison, to some of my other pans. I hate when pots and pans affect the flavor of food. I love the size too – it is neither too large, nor too small. The bottom also does not discolor after use on gas stove. The first photo attached is ... MoreI received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

The second one is me frying eggplant puree and garlic. You know, you have reached a peak of adulthood when you get excited over pans and kitchen utensils, but I realized I reached that peak a few months ago, and I have to say receiving this pan was very exciting and I was so excited to use it and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this pan. 👍🏻👌🏻

I got this Frypan free from Influenster for review purposes. I really like it. I like the fact that i do not have to use oil otr butter on it to prevent food from sticking to me pan and/or burning. I like the build quality. It has ceramic coating which is not toxic as the regular non stick pan. The ceramic coating makes cleaning easier all i do after cooking is wipe it with kitchen paper towel and it is clean. I like it and i will recommend it to everyone who enjoys cooking. 🥘

Do not buy !!!

We did extensive research on a new set of cookware. We were between Green Pan and Caraway. Unfortunately, Green Pan must pay a lot in marketing because they ‘beat’ Caraway on almost every list. DO NOT BUY THESE. They advertise they are easy to clean, they are not. Look at the other 1 star reviews, I wish we would have when purchasing because we wasted $200+. We bought them not even six months ago and they do not come clean, there are chips missing, scratches, the cooking sheet is rusting, etc. Literally every other 1 star review.. we have had the same issues. Green Pan will not help. They suggest to not clean the pots/pans with an abrasive sponge but do say to spot clean them if you have hard, stuck on things with a melamine (magic eraser) an ABRASIVE sponge???? If ... MoreWe did extensive research on a new set of cookware. We were between Green Pan and Caraway.

If you google magic erasers you shouldn’t use them on anything you eat off of as some of polymer are left behind when you use them… do not waste your money

Great All-Around Pan!

Great pan! Bought our first set of pans about 2 years ago which included this one (and two skillets - a 10' & 12'). This pan is great! Size is great, occasionally wished just a bit bigger when all kids are back for a visit but all in all wonderful size. Cooks great and clean up is amazing! The non-stick portion has always been excellent with very easy cleanup. The youngest went back to college and moved into a house so needed a good "do everything" pan to do some cooking so we sent him with our original and ordered a replacement for us! All is good and everyone is happy! Would highly recommend!

Great product at a reasonable price!

My husband wanted teflon-free cookware so I researched the best brands. The Green Pan was one of the top brands and it was reasonably priced. We are THRILLED with our purchases! Thank you for providing us a safe and healthy way to cook. It really does matter and make a difference. It's scary what's out there that is dangerous to the average consumer who is not even aware of it. My hope is that in the future the consumer will be protected more by companies like this who truly care about what products they put out.

Must have

The quality of the pans is on the top of the requirements. I love the pans and their performance on my electric stove, it is so nice to use no oil but a little bit of water and to get the great result of healthy fried food. You also must try them in the oven. Amazing results in the grilling meat and vegetables. I live alone and this set it is absolutely the best fit for my cooking and the must have for my kitchen. Strongly recommend. I am so happy with this purchase, which definitely worth every $ I spent for it, the value is so visible and their productivity it so much appreciated and was expected.

Pans will chip - GreenPan will not honor warrantty

I was will willing to spend more $ to get a ceramic non-stick set since they are supposed to be safer and more durable. I've had this set for 18 months and the warranty period is 2 years.On a positive note, these pans are easy to clean and heat up quickly. However they have a defect in design as the lids cause the coating to chip on the top (see attached pic).I submitted a warranty claim and not only did GreenPan refuse to replace 2 of the pots, but they said the chipping is a "natural occurrence" and that it "...remains perfect safe for use if it chips." (see attached email reply from GreenPan). Those chips are going somewhere and since it's normal to remove and replace the lid frequently WHILE cooking, it's very likely the chips would get into the food. ... MoreI was will willing to spend more $ to get a ceramic non-stick set since they are supposed to be safer and more durable.

Although their Thermalon coating is PTFE/PFAS free, I'm sure it is not safe for human ingestion. They even go on to say how "hard" the coating is and that's what makes it so great...but if that's the case then why is it chipping? And BTW I do not stack the pans specifically to avoid any type of scratching and I told them that as well.They clearly just don't want acknowledge the defect. I would avoid their products as they don't stand by them.

[Rewarded Review] Great Design and Quality!

For a few years, I've been using non sticks. We cook a lot at our house, therefore the nonstick pans get a lot of usage. While using this pan thingss were going well at first, but after a week, things started to fall apart. I know the instructions recommend to use a melamine sponge to try to remove any burnt-on material, but I don't think it should be necessary. In the morning, I can't cook my eggs without them sticking together.I've probably owned well over a dozen different pans of various sizes over the years. Each of these pans was from a different manufacturer. I constantly replaced the prior pans with a new brand because none of them ever performed well for me. The finest of them only lasted a few years since I was too cheap at the time to go out and buy ... MoreFor a few years, I've been using non sticks.

Each of these pans was from a different manufacturer. I constantly replaced the prior pans with a new brand because none of them ever performed well for me. The finest of them only lasted a few years since I was too cheap at the time to go out and buy another. None of those pans possessed a long-lasting non-stick surface.Most people can tell the difference between nonstick cookware and cast iron or stainless steel pans. The problem is that I believe many of us continue to treat them in the same manner. The majority of the time, we subject them to extreme heat. If you want your non-stick pans to last, you can't do that.In my experience, many pans do not heat evenly. In my experience, the most of them did not. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of this until they have used a pan that does. It's one of the reasons why, even if a non-stick pan would be superior, I'll choose a stainless steel or cast iron pan for a particular meal. These GreenPan Chathams have the most even heat dispersion of any non-stick pan I've ever seen. Foods simply cook more efficiently.Cleaning a nonstick pan should be a red indicator, as discussed previously. If you don't heat these pans for an extended period of time and let them cool before cleaning, and use enough butter or cooking oil, it's extremely likely that they'll just wipe clean with a dry paper towel. This is what I do the majority of the time. I merely use a damp sponge (soft side only) and a little soap with warm water if I need more. With this pan, you should never have to do more than that. If you do, you're probably cooking at too high a temperature for too long and/or with insufficient cooking oil.That says a lot about this pan because it can withstand higher temperatures than non-stick pans I've used in the past. This is a very very good non-stick pan. The riveted handle is solid and I like never having to tighten the handle. For most things I use it for, the steel handle never gets so hot that I need a pot holder - but on occasion it does. The non-stick non-teflon surface is just excellent and really really durable. This is the best non-stick pan I have ever owned.I can't recommend these pans enough if you want a high-quality non-stick pan. They should function well and endure a long time if properly cared for.

[Rewarded Review] Great non stick ceramic

I have other Green Pans so I am familiar with their greatness, and also how you can ruin them. This pan is a great size and the non stick ceramic is slick and ridiculously easy to clean. The first 2 uses of this pan were to brown meatballs and to precook pork chops to go in the crockpot for a meal. As I expected, nothing stuck to the pan and I used a wet paper towel to wipe everything up while the pan was still hot. Then a quick hand wash. If you’re not familiar with these pans, here are a few tips: do not use any cooking sprays, only butter or oil. Do not get this pan super hot. My first green pan was ruined when my husband fried an egg in butter and scorched the butter in the pan. I couldn’t get it clean no matter how hard I scrubbed or how much Dawn I used. So I ... MoreI have other Green Pans so I am familiar with their greatness, and also how you can ruin them. This pan is a great size and the non stick ceramic is slick and ridiculously easy to clean.

My first green pan was ruined when my husband fried an egg in butter and scorched the butter in the pan. I couldn’t get it clean no matter how hard I scrubbed or how much Dawn I used. So I used Bar Keepers Friend which “cleaned” the pan but ruined the nonstick surface. I bought those Green Pan renewing sponges but the pan was ruined and I had to throw it out. For cleaning- it may say dishwasher safe but I don’t recommend it. Dishwasher detergent is very harsh. All your nonstick pans, ceramic or not, will last much longer if you hand wash them. It’s a quick and easy wash because nothing sticks. After hand washing, take a paper towel with a little oil and very lightly go around the pan to gently coat before putting away. This will help keep the surface nonstick. Use wood, or nylon/heat safe plastic utensils, not metal, to help prevent scratches. I like this line of green pan because the handle is a solid metal which feels very sturdy and high end and the pan can go in the oven, although I don’t use it for that. Highly recommend.

[Rewarded Review] NON-STICK ALL THE WAY!!!

I was fairly reluctant when I ordered the Green Pan by Chatham, but so, so glad that I did. The first time I used it, I seared beef tips to put in the crock-pot for a meal the next night. I only used (maybe) two tablespoons of vegetable oil when searing my beef tips and not one bit stuck to this pan. (See picture.) I simply wiped out the pan with a paper towel after it cooled, then made soft fries shortly thereafter. So far, I've used this pan probably 6 - 8 times and I have not yet had anything stick to it.The pan is not heavy, but not lightweight, either. It appears to be a very durable pan. I really like the handle on the pan, as well.I did read all directions before initially using this pan.

The instructions indicate to NOT use a cooking spray in the pan as it could potentially damage the finish. Also, the instructions suggest not to cook on high heat. (I found medium to just a tad above medium works best for what I have cooked thus far.) Both of these instructions, I followed.On the outer packaging, the manufacturer indicates the pan is "dishwasher safe"; however, after you remove the out packaging, the sticker on the inside says to keep clean by washing in warm, soapy water. To be safe, I have only washed mine with warm soapy water.I have been totally pleased with this pan and would definitely recommend it to others considering it for purchase.
