Going Green is extremely important to me, household cleaners, detergents, even cookingware, is something that I'm really concerned about. Especially if your cooking with nonstick skillets. Before it was well know that if your nonstick pans became damaged or scratched, then the chemicals can leach out into your foods. After further research, it's now documented that when cooking with common nonstick skillets, damage or not, chemicals can leach into your food when certain temperatures are reached. So let me tell you about the 10in Green Earth Pan, by Ozeri.
The Green Earth Pan is nonstick but it's free of PTFE, PFOA & other harmful chemicals.
PTFE stands for PolyTetraFluoroEthylene, which is know to release toxic chemicals at high temperatures. PFOA- PerFluoroOctanoic Acid which is known as a pollutant to the environment and has been under investigation by the EPA. That's really scary. With the Green Earth Pan ' ceramic coating, even at high temps, no harmful fumes will ever be released into the environment or into your foods.
I trust cooking in it, plus it's one of the best pans I have ever owned.

Comes with a pan protector, so that you can stack. Save space and protect your pan from any scratches.
The pan is heavy, which is a good thing! The heavier the better. Most pans I have owned have always buckled up, meaning the middle of them changes shape and not flat anymore. That's why I like the weight of this pan, I know I'll never have this problem. It's also pretty deep and great for flipping or stirring foods.
The way it cooks is just amazing, I have cooked everything in it and let me tell ya, I haven't had anything stick to it. The great part is you don't need much oil when cooking in it, so that will be better on my health too. Before I had to soak my food in vegetable oil, especially frying taters. With this pan you only need a half teaspoon of oil. Since nothing sticks to the pan, cleaning is a breeze! I use a light dish soap and soft sponge, it is safe to use in a dishwasher, but by hand washing it will prolong the life span. To season, you can add a layer of coconut oil. As long as you treat it right and give it a little TLC, this pan will last a very long time. Always make sure not to use any sharp utensils in it and have your foods cut before adding it to the pan, to prevent any scratches. I use soft silicone spatulas, they won't harm it.
I also love the green color, it totally matches it's name and just gives it more if a unique look.
Not only is the Green Earth Pan good for frying, it's big enough to boil noodles. I LOVE baking in it. I'm a southern girl, my momma taught me everything about cooking, but we will only cook homemade cornbread in a frying pan. It may sound weird to some, but that's how she's always baked cornbread and it's rubbed off on me too! Even when using it in the stove, I have no problems with anything sticking and my cornbread tastes so good baked in it!
I'm so happy with the Green Earth Pan, it's been nothing but great to me and is really a must have for every kitchen. It also comes with a lifetime warranty and can be purchased Amazon for $32.95 for the complete set of 3, the 8, 10 & 12 inch pans. This is at a steal too.
