5.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED REVIEW-have much better luck with this pan while using butter, oil made food stick to this like crazy

s. · February 21, 2016

UPDATE to below: first i wrote that I loved this pan (see below.) Then after a week, EVERYThING was sticking to the pan, really bad, worse than any other pan, and I was going to downgrade it to one star. I had been using canola oil btw, a fair amount of it, and I thought - what the heck, am I going to start having to waste a ton of oil on this thing? Very disappointed. To the point where I couldn't stand cooking with it anymore bc everything was sticking to it like glue, so I ordered a different pan to use, which I wasn't thrilled about because this one has a much larger cooking area, and I had just bought it and already it wasn't working, right after I threw away the packaging of course. Then one day I tried something different. I heated up the pan on medium heat as always, before putting anything on it. Then after it got hot, I held a stick of butter vertically and just rubbed the cooking area of the pan with it - not too much butter, just coated the pan with butter lightly and quickly. VOILA. it's like night and day, now everything is sliding around on the pan. so I'm happy - I can use very little butter and the food isn't sliding around. So I'm wondering if all these people who had problems were using oil as I was (and as the instructions say you can do.) If you're having problems with sticking, try butter instead and see if that works.original review below:i had tried out a few ceramic pans and returned them all. this is the KEEPER (so far - i've had it only for a few days but looking good!) why? well the thing is pans are measured by the TOP circumference of the pan, the part that fits the lid, which i think is colossally stupid. i tried out a few 12" pans, this one has a 9 3/4" - 10" ish cooking area (the bottom circle of the pan, the part you cook on.) the other ones i tried had like 9" or less on the bottom and the sides of the pan just jutted way out to reach the 12" - so the cooking part was so small and i couldn't fit much on the other ones. this has a good amount of cooking space and if HEFTY.unlike the other ones, you have to use oil, which i dont mind, oil is filling. u do cook on medium heat and things slide off effortlessly - not as slidy as the other ones ive tried, but i read in reviews the other ones stop being stick-free after a while. besides, too much slide can make the food hard to grasp. this has a great amount of food slide. i wish this came in cooler color but the grey is all right, better than black. cooking is actually fun bc i know i'm not going to have to scrub and clean much. i hate cleaning. i just made eggs with sausages and the pan ALREADY looks clean, and i didnt even clean it yet. the lid is high quality. this thing is just made of high quality materials, and my boyf and i love it. also our gas stove did not mess up the coloring on the bottom, like it did with other pans. LOVE THIS ONE, finally we found the keeper!!! i recommend wholeheartedly.

So happy I ordered this pan on the recommendation of my son. Large cooking area, even heating, completely non-stick, easy clean up. Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice pan

I've had it for a few months now with no sign of breakdown on the finish. Easy clean up. It cooks evenly and is pretty light too. I love cast iron but it's too heavy for me anymore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Edit: great customer service - interesting pan - Not non stick… pan will not stay clean!

F. · May 31, 2022

EDIT: alright, customer service is great. I sent pics of the pan and explained and they sent me a different pan at no cost: that pan is exactly as I hoped. Actually non stick. I still don’t recommend this model - but! The upgraded version of this is worth the money. Skip this model and choose the next version.Listen I have scrubbed/soaked/cleaned this. I messaged the vendor and they recommended baking soda and boiling. Nothing has worked. This pan is VERY hard to clean. I’d suggest a name brand non stick - this one was a risk and I took it because of positive reviews. I would not purchase again and I’ve been trying to get a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow big and beautiful

s. · December 16, 2023

I have had great experiences with greenpan so I decided to get a bigger one online. It is big! about double the size of the 10 or 8 one. It also comes with a beautiful lid that I will definitely be using. Sometimes I like to do dumplings or 'potstickers' with this pan and since my family loves them I can now make one large batch for them and use the lid to let it brown nicely covered. Greenpan is definitely nonstick and claims to be better for you than the other 'nonstick' since it's ceramic. Clean it well with soapy water and add a tiny bit of oil and after that you may not have to add oil if you use it to make eggs etc, but I do add a dash of butter or oil just no deep frying so it is perfect for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice pan

I use it two to three times a day and it is still doing like the first time I used it. 3/31/2024 - Sorry to say today I threw out this pan. It was sticking with every use after 7 months and it got worse as time went on. It cleaned up well but today it really was a mess. I am not sure if this normal or not but beware of this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute piece of garbage

N. · October 5, 2024

Everything sticks to it. I’ve tried to spray it first. I put olive oil in it first. I’ve tried low heat. There is no way to avoid everything sticking to it. The picture was taken after cooking one pancake. Or should I say pancake flakes because it sticks so badly you can’t even flip it over without ruining it. Bolo should allow zero stars for this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great

H. · October 22, 2024

So far it is working great. I use a bit of butter and haven't had anything stick to the pan. I also love that it comes with a lid which I often use as a splatter shield. Overall, I think this was a good purchase.

Best Frying Pan Ever

Z. · April 1, 2022

I originally bought a smaller pan by the same manufacturer from Home Sense. These pans are amazing. You need very little oil/butter and lower heat than with other pans. I got rid of my “Rock” frying pans immediately. It’s a dream to clean and looks great too. Very impressed. If I can buy GreenPan saucepans too I’d be more than happy to replace my existing ones. Buy this pan. You won’t be sorry

Not good product quality

D.S. · April 1, 2024

The media could not be loaded. At the beginning of use, the eggs did not burn in this frying pan. After 2 months of use, the food started to burn. I have never used a dishwasher, I washed the pan by hand. If it were a cheap frying pan, it wouldn’t be such a waste of money. I am disappointed.

Great Pan

G.P. · November 6, 2022

Received mine very promptly, impressive and very good pan. I haven't used it a lot yet, but I am sure it will stand up to many years of use. I bought this one because of the lid, as wanted a decent sized good pan that I could have a good lid with. I dislike the cheap pans with teflon or other poor or potentially poisonous non stick coverings, that simply do not last all that long before the surface starts to scratch or come away. I am very careful with this type of cookware and nver use metal on them, but it generally is only about a year steady use before the surface starts to degrade. I do not think this will happen with this new pan. It heats quickly and evenly and very easy to keep clean.

Poor condition

P. · November 30, 2022

A few scratch, terribly dusty with visible sign of rust on the handle (you can scrub it off since it stainless but still)
