GreenPan Valencia Pro Hard Anodized Healthy Ceramic Nonstick 12" Frying Pan Skillet, PFOA and PFAS-Free Cookware, Stainless Steel Handle, Induction Suitable, Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe,

When an old black teflon pan began to actually flake off, I looked for alternatives. Several prominent kitchenware review sites (including a famous kitchen for testing in America) put this green pan and its siblings at the very top for performance and value. After a year of near daily use, I agree. Bought this with a lid, and an 8" version with a lid and finally tossed two older less functional pans.|Heats fast, holds heat, remains stubbornly slippery and non-stick, cleans easily with a soft nylon scrubby (no abrasives). Slightly lower heat settings work fine, but I have used it on high heat and it gets blazing fast.I would recommend for anyone who needs a solid reliable non-stick pan with no fear of teflon flakiness or the presence of PFOA or PFAS.

Great non-stick. Even distribution of heat. Cleans up nicely. Well made. Durable. Looks like a Pro kitchen item. Description matches what you get.

This pan is fantastic! Truly does not stick. At all. So easy to clean. Zero scrubbing. Just wash with the soft side of the sponge and it’s perfectly clean with no effort. Conducts heat quickly and evenly. I’m definitely getting the larger size too. Finally found what works! I don’t put it in the dishwasher. No reason to. Maximum recommendation.

I bought this pan because I wanted a high-quality, non-toxic, non-stick pan. It had great reviews. It worked well for perhaps 1 week then, things started sticking. I used it primarily for making scrambled eggs or omelets in the morning, or sauteeing vegetables and stir-frying. It started to stick so badly, I had to add large amounts of oil or butter when making an omelet or scrambling eggs, and still the eggs would stick. Sometimes I would lose about 1/3 of the eggs on the pan. I assumed I must have got a lemon. The saucepans I bought seem to be working well (so far). I contacted the company and received the following email:“ We are very sorry to hear about the issues with your cookware. Don’t worry, this issue can be easily resolved!It is possible that you have a layer of carbonized oil built up on your pan that will create a barrier between the pan and your food. When this happens, you are basically cooking on the layer of burned oil as opposed to the surface of the pan. This layer may not be visible at first but may turn yellow-to-orange-to brown as the layer builds up.This cleaning method has proven to be extremely successful and can be used when you notice staining and/or sticking.Once completed, you may resume normal washing with soap and a soft sponge. Avoid use of abrasive cleaning pads and sponges or washing up brushes as the bristles are also abrasive. We have included our exterior cleaning method as well.Interior:Fill the pan halfway with water and bring it to a simmer for about 2 minutes. Pour out the water and place the pan on a sturdy surface such as a wooden cutting board. Carefully use a Melamine sponge (Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or our Restoring Sponge) and a little plain water on the warm surface to wipe away the food or stuck on oil. This should do the trick.The restoring sponge recommended for deep cleaning is perfectly safe. Our Product Team has tested this product for safety and durability. The sponge contains pores, which when moved around your pan, enables it to grab food and oil particles. Our cookware is coated and sealed and therefore, nothing will leach into your pan. Once the deep cleaning is complete, you may wash your pan as you normally would.Exterior:Plain tap water and the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or any Melamine sponge should do the trick for minor staining! If you have stubborn stains, you may Mix baking soda and a little water to form a smooth paste; then use kitchen paper to rub the paste over the stained area (exterior surfaces only).As a reminder from our Care & Use instructions:It is very important to know the smoke point of the oil you choose. We recommend oils with a high smoke point, to reduce the chances of oils getting too hot and sticking to your pan. We therefore recommend keeping Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the salad bowl and not using it as a cooking oil because it easily oxidizes on exposure to air and heat.***It is extremely important to avoid abrasive cleaners/brushes/sponges when cleaning nonstick ceramic coated cookware.*** ***Abrasive cleaners and brushes can scuff your pan ever so slightly, that it will affect the nonstick properties.***Regular Olive Oil is a better option as it has a higher smoke point. We also find that many consumers like clarified butter (Ghee), Refined Coconut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Peanut Oil and some vegetable oils with high smoke points. We suggest avoiding Avocado oil as this oil can become sticky when heated. If you do choose to cook with Avocado oil, please keep the heat on low to medium.Users should avoid all oils in spray form, as the tiny oil droplets will heat up very quickly and burn, creating a layer of carbonization on your pan. “So, to me, the point of using a non-stick pan is the easy care and clean up. Now I have to get a Magic Erase sponge (which are bad for you and the environment) and pregeat the pan with water becore cleaning? What a pain! Nevertheless, I followed the instructions. I was also mad that I am not supposed to use our preferred cooking oils: avocado oil, or Extra Virgin olive oil. I might add, these peculiarities, including the need for a Magic Erase sponge were not included in the Amazon listing, nor were they mentioned in/on the packaging. I got fed up with having to hear the pan and then clean it with the Magic Erase sponge. Also, the pan didn’t work much better after I did that. Also, the initial instructions did not say that you can only cook on medium and low. That doesn’t work for stir fry or browning chicken, etc. what is the point of this pan? It is awful. I have a normal, stainless steel pan that works better than this, with less oil, and my Lodge Logic cast iron pan doesn’t stick and is easier to clean. I am not at all happy with the performance of this pan.

I have had this awhile now and I do love it, but the middle seems to be starting to stick. I try not to use on high heat but I am not the only cook in the house. I think the heat has worn the non stick in the middle. it still cleans easy but really have to watch the temp.

I've only had this pan for a few days but I love it so far. The nonstick is excellent even though it's ceramic. My only issue with this is that it's the older Magneto induction-compatible model instead of the Stainless version. These "classic" Valencias have the ceramic all along the rim, which will be the first part to chip off. The stainless version (currently only the 12 inch model, at least from what I can see is available on Amazon) doesn't have the ceramic coating going over the edges, which I feel will be critical for longevity.Overall, though, I love this pan so far. Fingers crossed that it will last longer than its ceramic peers.

Love this pan. Added it to my collection! Literally the best fry is an ever! Highly recommend! Why did you pick this product vs others?:Purchased before and love!Warping:no warping!Scratch resistance:super durable!Quality:High quality Comfort:great handle Works well:the best! Amazing nonstick with no toxins!Cook time:fast and even heating!

Great. Use it every day! Great for cooking eggs and unlike traditional nonstick, it is healthy and safe from all of the toxic chemicals in nonstick pans. Cleans up much easier than our stainless steel pans which is a welcome treat especially when making a quick breakfast.
