- The green non stick pan uses 60% less CO2 during the curing phase of Thermolon coating production compared to the curing phase of other traditional frying pans.
- Used materials are processed into new products to avoid wasting potentially useful materials (also known as “upcycling“). An example of this is the stainless steel handles which use recycled aluminum.
What is Thermolon? Are Green Pans Safe?
The manufacturer website claims that Thermolon is a new generation of ceramic that is highly non-stick.
This trademark name is only found in green pans and retains it’s non-stick with all types of usage and cleaning.
It is highly resistant to scratches and can be easily recognized by the green apple sticker on the frying pan when purchased.
This means less wear and tear on your frying pan after cooking and saves you money in the long run. We will examine this coating in our tests below.
In addition, the coating is heat resistant up to high temperatures and if you dare to overheat this pan, the non stick coating will not peel or blister like other pans. The Thermolon coating is 100% PFOA free and contains no traces of cadmium or lead. It is a safe pan to use around your kitchen.
Test #1 – Frying Eggs On The GreenPan Lima Frying Pan
We heated up, sprayed a drop of oil, and cracked an egg onto the center of a hot Green Pans Lima 8″ frying pan. The egg white slowly slid over to center of the cooking area.
We were quite impressed with the crispness of the pan and the gentle sizzling sound.
We noticed that the inner circle of the 8″ frying pan was just enough to fry 2 eggs. If you are cooking 3 or more eggs, we’d highly suggest the 10″ pan.
Back to the eggs. While the eggs cooked we watched as they started to lift off the surface of the pan. After 1 minute, we were able to swirl the eggs all over the pan in circles. No rocket science here, the Green Pan Therolon non-stick coating was working at it’s best. We were super impressed. Score: A
Test #2 – Cooking Salmon On The Original Green Pan Lima
Next we wanted to test how the Green Pans stood out when cooking delicate salmon. We here at Stone Frying Pans are salmon fanatics and we love our fish cooked just perfectly.
We started off by heating the pan on medium high heat and dropped a tiny bit of butter. Next we put the salmon skin side down and watched as the butter simmered under the salmon. Next we added some rosemary and thyme on the side and witnessed salmon absorb the flavors while cooking ever so delicately on the Green non-stick pan.
The result was an perfect golden crispy salmon skin cooked through on one side. We finished off the dish by putting the salmon on its back for another 2 minutes and the fillet was ready to eat. It turned out amazing and the Thermolon surface was fantastic. The oil just beaded up and the fish was perfectly cooked through. Score: A++
Is This Cookware Set Easy to Use?
The Green Pans Lima collection is very easy to use for any type of cooking. Whether you cook a lot or little, this handy non-stick frying pan is a must have in any kitchen.
As tested above, the frying pan works on eggs and salmon which are very delicate foods. We also tested the Green Pans on steak and vegetables and the green non stick pans did the job perfectly.
Best of all they are super easy to clean as the Thermolon surface can be cleaned with a wipe of a paper towel. No more filthy dirty gunk left over from cooking stuck to your frying pan!
What Do Other Users Have to Say?
We had the opportunity to talk to our readers who have used the Green Pan Lima collection in their kitchen for over 6 months.
All of the users we interviewed had positive things to say about the Thermolon coating. In particular, the non-stick coating was still slippery after months of use. There were no bubbles that formed and didn’t peel away. Truely we were amazed.
Other readers said that they noticed the green non stick pan heated up faster than the original pans and the food tasted better than traditional non-stick Teflon pans.
