These are great non-teflon pans that use nano-technology ceramics

In any case, in our household this has meant that we've mostly gone to cast iron and stainless, which has worked very well. However, my husband just has a preference for cooking his eggs on a non-stick surface as he doesn't want to cook in oil/butter. Sooo, I bought him the 'green pan'.
Green pans are made with Thermolon which is pitched as a ceramic-based non-stick technology that has high heat resistance (850°F or 450°C). The packaging suggests that Thermolon won't break down or deteriorate over time, and I read somewhere that the company claims that producing that Thermolon-based cookware releases 50% fewer greenhouse-gases.
The company's web page states these features:
* Temperature resistance up to 450°C (850°F)
* No toxic fumes are released if overheated
* High Quality Non-stick
* Durable and highly scratch resistant
* 0% PTFE & 0% PFOA
* Environmentally friendly production, significant reduction in CO2 emissions in production.
Considerations :::
Nano technology - the pan is made by manipulating small amounts of ceramics (nano amounts) to get the super smooth surface. Most scientists think this is okay, some people are taking a wait-and-see position.
Now, given all the hoo-rah over Teflon, I am assuming that the pans were tested for harmful gas emissions. As to the "nano" technology, I don't see where the manipulation of ceramics, which are inert, could be a problem... but I'm just one mom.
Conclusion :::
This pan "IS" very slick. It amazing how everything slides off, even burnt cheese. Washup is ridiculously quick. The only downside we've found is that we did manage to chip on little spot on the edge. Obviously we hit the pan very hard because there is actually a little dent. Other than that, after six+ months use we've noticed no deterioration of the surface. (No scratches)
Use soft utensils and enjoy.

I bought a whole set of these at a clearance sale a few months ago. I had wanted to get rid of my teflon pans for a while but am a total mess when it comes to cooking without them. The Green Pans are heaven sent. They work even better than teflon and there are no worries about the potential carcinogenic nature of teflon either. It's totally amazing how stuff slides off of the cooking surface. Wonderful!

About this topic
Green Pan is a Belgian cookware manufacturer that is the first to launch PTFE free non-stick cookware. Their slogan: When Green became the standard and not an option.
Traditional PTFE pans are manufactured with PFOA and can emit harmful toxins when heated over 500 degrees Fahrenheit. These toxins can be lethal to small animals and harmful to humans.
The Green Pan does not use PFOA and instead uses Thermalon, which reduces carbon emissions while applying the pan coating by 60%.
In addition the company has reduced their packaging material, printing ink and printing colors.
