GreenPan Valencia Pro Hard Anodized Healthy Ceramic Nonstick 10" and 12" Frying Pan Skillet Set, PFAS-Free, Induction, Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe, GrayCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle Certified

I purchased a full set of GreenPan Valencia Pro cookware a year ago, some individual items and a large set. The large set arrived in a box packed intricately, and I found only a couple insignificant chips to the coating from transit. After using the cookware for a year, I would say I’m mostly satisfied. Its nonstick characteristics are holding up well, and it doesn’t seem to suffer from regular dishwasher cleanings using Cascade Platinum. Often the pan can be sprayed with water, wiped dry and stored without any detergent. The bottoms are slightly prone to minor rust if they stay wet, but that hasn’t been a problem for me. The nonstick is very good, and I’m hoping the chemically inert properties are accurately represented as ditching Teflon-coated cookware was the paramount reason for buying these. The exterior coating is also very durable. The thickness of the pans is just enough to be satisfactory. Their light weight and durability allow me to use them when car camping.I find the slightly concave bottoms are not ideal for a solid surface cooktop since there is reduced heat transfer, but it isn’t a showstopper. On an induction stove, it seems as though the ferrous portion doesn’t quite fully span the bottom on some pans so they don’t heat as fully or evenly as they might otherwise. The most satisfactory heat source for these pans is a gas flame. The rough texture on the bottoms is helpful preventing the pans slipping around on tabletop canister stoves, which I appreciate.Another issue is with the lids. They let steam/condensation escape through the seam between the glass and the stainless-steel surround rim which causes water to pool on the lid and eventually dribble onto whatever cooktop you are using even when just simmering. You learn to lift the lid above the pan so it can drip all this water into the pan. And the handles get very hot fairly quickly, so you have to use a hot pad.Overall, I’m happy with this GreenPan Valencia Pro cookware and for the money, I’d buy it again and recommend it.

I'm 72 years old and it took me this long to find the absolute best frying pans out there. Reasonable price for the quality of these pans. Although dishwasher safe, nothing sticks so they clean like a dream and I've never had to put them in the dishwasher. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Seem to be a very well constructed, well priced pans that food does not stick to.

Okay, I sure hope people who are considering buying these pans will read this! When I considered buying these pans, I read the reviews by members of the Amazon community. I was confused because some of you said they were really great and some of you said they were terrible. Now I know why. I bought them, an 8" and a 10" skillet. I used the 8" one first and it worked fine. Food didn't stick without shortening and clean-up was a breeze. Eventually, I got around to using the 10" skillet and the difference was amazing. It may not have been the first time, but very soon food began to stick to the surface. Now I treated these two skillets exactly the same. I don't own a dish washer, I didn't overheat either of them, and all I use is dish soap and water.So, in a nutshell, if you buy these skillets, you're taking a chance on getting some (or one) really great coated NON-stick pans or not. I'm a little glad that it happened to me and that I can share this with you. I ended up donating the 10" skillet to Salvation Army and buying a Cuisinart 10" coated skillet. I've only used it once and there wasn't a problem but that tells me nothing. I hope it works like my 8" Greenpan!Added info;......I've come back to this review of my rating. I'd prefer to change my rating to no stars!! No Kidding! Originally I said the 8 inch skillet worked fine. It did for a while but it began to stick a little after I wrote my review. Things like cheese or egg yolk would be difficult to remove and often I'd need to wash the surface with more than a little effort to remove remnants. At this point, I'm forced to buy a replacement. I must emphasize that I've always washed these skillets by hand and never used anything abrasive or anything other than dish soap on them. I'm really disappointed!!! I purchased them on the advice of Consumers Reports which I've found to be seldom wrong. Boy! did they screw up this time. DON'T BUY THESE!!!

Love these pans!!! These are the latest additions to my Green Pan cookware collection! They cook so well and clean up easily!!! And they are responsibly sourced! What could be better? Oh, they also look nice!

These are nice non stick pans. I have been really happy with them, but I am not sure how “non toxic” they are. I typically only really use them for eggs and use my stainless steel or cast iron for everything else. I have no scratches or imperfections on mine over two years later. I definitely think these are good quality! My only issue is the toxicity - it’s so hard to know what is and what isn’t these days.

I've had these for a while and they still look new. Still non-stick. I follow the recommendations to heat slowly, starting on low and to let the pans cool before washing. Happy enough that I went to greenpan and ordered the glass lid for the larger pan. It is excellent as well.

I'm not a chef but I am a great cook. It's my hobby. I say I have "tools", not pans. My last non-stick were Tramontina and they truly sucked. Outside stained badly. I've owned many others by Cuisinart, T-fal, Calphalon, Oxo, and many others over the past 50 years. GreenPan is by far the best. I've been using them for 3 months, always putting the in the dishwasher, and they look as good as they did on day 1. I'm not a chef, but I am a passionate home cook — it's my hobby. I don’t just use pans; I use tools. Over the past 50 years, I’ve owned cookware from Cuisinart, T-fal, Calphalon, OXO, and many others. My last non-stick set was from Tramontina, and frankly, it was disappointing — the exteriors stained badly and didn’t hold up.
