Each pan is coated with GreenPan’s Thermolon ceramic nonstick surface that avoids PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium, offering easy food release and straightforward cleanup.

The diamond-reinforced Thermolon surface increases abrasion resistance so the coating holds up through regular use.

They’re oven-safe to 350°F, so you can start a dish on the stove and finish it in the oven when the recipe calls for it.
