Green Pan Spray: What To Do?

If you accidentally sprayed a GreenPan, you might be worried about damaging the non-stick coating. However, GreenPan's Thermolon™ coating is metal utensil safe, so you don't need to worry about using metal utensils with your GreenPan. To clean your pan, use a soft sponge with warm, soapy water and avoid abrasive detergents, steel wool, or iron sponges.

GreenPan products are coated with Thermolon, which is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium

All GreenPan products are coated with Thermolon, which is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. This coating was the first and best ceramic nonstick coating to be launched on the market in 2007. Since then, eight generations of Thermolon have been created. Each is manufactured without forever chemicals known as PFAS and without any lead or cadmium. The raw materials, or precursors, are derived from silicon dioxide, which originates from sand. The liquid part of the coating is mainly water. After spraying onto the pans, the coating is then cured in an oven at a relatively low temperature. As a result, the curing process requires 60% less heating energy versus conventional nonstick pans, meaning 60% fewer CO2 emissions.

The absence of forever chemicals in GreenPan products means they won't release toxic fumes, even if you accidentally overheat your pan. Thermolon can withstand temperatures up to 850°F/450°C, something that would not be safe to do with a conventional nonstick frypan. Thermolon has been certified by third-party testing labs as conforming to international regular food contact standards set by the US FDA (USA Food & Drug Administration) and by EU regulators.

The Thermolon coating is made by a Sol-Gel process that results in forming a coating layer on the surface of the pan. This layer comprises mainly silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is the same composition as glass (or sand). There are some additional materials such as pigments that give the colour. All the materials in Thermolon are 100% safe for use in food contact coatings.

GreenPan's Thermolon coating is crafted from sand-derived raw materials and Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)

GreenPan's Thermolon coating is made from sand-derived raw materials and Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). The coating is created using a Sol-Gel process, which involves transforming sand into a sprayable solution. This solution is then sprayed onto the walls of the pan and baked in an oven to form a durable ceramic non-stick coating.

The Thermolon coating is free from harmful chemicals such as PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. It is also highly heat-resistant, able to withstand temperatures up to 450°C without releasing toxic fumes. The coating is also a good heat conductor, allowing food to be cooked at lower temperatures and saving energy.

The manufacturing process for Thermolon emits 60% less CO2 than the production of traditional non-stick PTFE pans. GreenPan's factory also has its own wastewater treatment plant and generates 30% of its energy from solar panels, contributing to the company's sustainability efforts.

Overall, GreenPan's Thermolon coating is crafted from sand-derived materials and Silicon Dioxide, resulting in a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly non-stick coating.

GreenPan's coating is cured in an oven at a lower temperature, resulting in toxin-free cookware

The coating, known as Thermolon™, is free from harmful chemicals and toxins such as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), PFOA, lead, and cadmium. It is made using a Sol-Gel process, forming a coating layer mainly composed of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), or sand. The coating is then thermally cured, resulting in a durable inorganic polymer coating.

GreenPan's products were the first ceramic non-stick coating to be launched on the market in 2007, and since then, they have created eight generations of Thermolon™. The coating is safe to use, even when overheated, as it can withstand temperatures up to 850°F/450°C without releasing toxic fumes. It has been certified by third-party testing labs and conforms to international food contact standards set by the US FDA and EU regulators.

GreenPan's commitment to sustainability is evident not only in their manufacturing process but also in their factories. Their GreenPan-owned factory has been recognised for its social and environmental standards, and they have implemented measures to minimise waste and treat and reuse wastewater.

By choosing GreenPan, you can cook with confidence, knowing that their cookware is not only toxin-free but also environmentally friendly.

GreenPan products are manufactured in their own factories, so they know every element of what goes into their cookware

GreenPan's coating, Thermolon™, is crafted from sand-derived raw materials, Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), and turned into a sprayable solution. Once sprayed, the pans are cured in an oven at a lower temperature, resulting in toxin-free cookware. The curing process for their coating creates 60% less CO2 emissions compared to traditional non-stick coatings.

The company has a strong focus on sustainability and has implemented several eco-friendly practices. Their factory is partially run on solar energy, and they treat and reuse wastewater on-site. They have also re-engineered their manufacturing process to minimise waste. GreenPan has won numerous awards for their environmental safety, worker satisfaction, and overall standards.

GreenPan's commitment to sustainability and product quality is evident in their manufacturing processes and their dedication to creating healthier and better cookware for their consumers.

GreenPan's Thermolon coating distributes heat more effectively than traditional coatings, so your pan will get hot enough to sear a steak even on low to medium heat

GreenPan's Thermolon coating is a great heat conductor, allowing you to cook at a lower heat setting and save energy. This means that your pan will get to temperature quickly and cook your food more evenly.

Thermolon coating distributes heat more effectively than traditional coatings, so your pan will get hot enough to sear a steak even on low to medium heat. This is because Thermolon's conductivity is around 2.0 to 2.4 W m-1 K-1, whereas PTFE is just 0.25 W m-1 K-1.

The Thermolon ceramic non-stick surface allows you to use less oil or butter while still achieving excellent frying results. Food releases quickly and easily, plus, cleanup is a breeze. Just wipe your pan clean with a soft cloth and soapy water, no need for scrubbing.

Thermolon is also heat resistant up to high temperatures (as high as 450°C). So should you accidentally overheat your pan, it won’t blister or release toxic fumes.
