The Thermolon™ ceramic nonstick coating is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been linked to various health issues, including liver disease, infertility and cancer. They are often used in non-stick cookware, as well as food packaging and firefighting foam. PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) is one of the most well-known PFAS chemicals and was commonly used in the manufacturing of non-stick coatings. However, due to health and environmental concerns, PFOA has been phased out and is no longer used in cookware manufactured or sold in the US.

Lead and cadmium are toxic metals that can cause serious health issues, including memory loss, brain damage and kidney function problems. Like PFOA, their use in cookware is now heavily regulated, and they are not found in any reputable brand of cookware.

By choosing the GreenPan Madison set, you can rest assured that your cookware is free from these harmful chemicals and metals. The Thermolon™ ceramic nonstick coating is metal utensil-safe, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. The set is also oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it a versatile addition to your kitchen.

The hard anodized aluminum body is scratch-resistant and durable

The GreenPan Madison 12-piece cookware set is made with a hard anodized aluminum body, which is known for its durability and scratch resistance. This means that the cookware set is built to last and can withstand everyday use without showing signs of wear and tear.

The anodization process involves treating the aluminum surface with an acid bath and then applying an electric current, which creates a layer of aluminum oxide on the surface. This layer of aluminum oxide is what gives the cookware its durability and scratch resistance. It also makes the surface of the cookware non-porous, which means that it is less likely to absorb odors and flavors from food.

In addition to its durability and scratch resistance, the hard anodized aluminum body of the GreenPan Madison 12-piece cookware set also provides even heat distribution. This is because the aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat, and the anodization process creates a smooth surface that allows heat to spread evenly across the pan. As a result, you can expect consistent and efficient cooking performance when using this cookware set.

Another benefit of the hard anodized aluminum body is its non-reactivity with acidic foods. Unlike some other types of cookware, hard anodized aluminum will not react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes or vinegar, so you don't have to worry about any unpleasant flavors or discoloration affecting your food.

Finally, the GreenPan Madison 12-piece cookware set is also designed with a healthy ceramic nonstick coating, which is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. This means that you can cook with peace of mind, knowing that your food will not be exposed to any potentially harmful chemicals. The nonstick coating also makes cleanup a breeze, as food will not stick to the surface of the cookware.

The tempered glass lids and stainless steel handles make transitions easy
