Yesterday, on Valentine’s Day, I received a very green present. \u00a0Jessica, from The Original GreenPan, sent me a nice little gift bag chock full of goodies. \u00a0It contained a 8″ high end, commercial grade non-stick pan, a very nice apron, pot holder, and care sponge. \u00a0I am so anxious to try this baby out. \u00a0As a mother, I am always so concerned with what are children are exposed to . \u00a0I mean, we are long aware of the dangers of most non-stick cookware. \u00a0If heated without anything in it, it can kill pets such as parrots. \u00a0This does not sound like something we want to use near our growing and developing children or when we are pregnant does it? \u00a0The ambitious goal of GreenPan\u2122 was to create a new, healthy cooking experience in non-stick cookware. In 2007 GreenPan\u2122 was ready to take off and succeeded in bringing to the market the first healthy, eco-friendly non-stick pots and pans with the revolutionary new PTFE\/PFOA-free coating,Thermolon\u2122<\/p>\n

The pan they sent me is from their Rotterdam Collection.<\/p>\n

Here are some important facts from GreenPan’s website. \u00a0You should visit it yourself to learn all about their extensive line of products, \u00a0www.green-pan.com.<\/p>\n

\n
• Our non-stick pots and pans are the first to be made with a non-stick coating made of minerals instead of plastics.<\/li>\n
• PTFE coatings are manufactured with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), which is classified as a \u2018persistent pollutant of the environment\u2019*. Besides that, PFOA is a tough chemical that the body has the greatest difficulties in expelling and is known to be a \u2018likely human carcinogen\u2019*.\u00a0We don\u2019t use PTFE, so no PFOA<\/strong> can be emitted in the environment.\u00a0* According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency, a US federal agency in charge of the protection of human health and the environment) \n

• Less energy is used when Thermolon\u2122 is applied on GreenPan\u2122 products, which means\u00a060% less CO2 emission<\/strong> compared with the production of PTFE-coated pans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  The best thing I like about Greenpan is that their products are healthy for us and our\u00a0environment. \u00a0They do not produce any harmful fumes!<\/p>\n

  I also like that the coating is designed for superior performance, better cooking, better taste and is easier to clean.<\/p>\n

  I am going to be doing a full review by cooking in this great pan very soon. \u00a0I will let you know what I think of these\u00a0environmentally\u00a0friendly pans. \u00a0 GreenPan has a variety of collections and also includes baking and roasting pans.<\/p>\n

  I will test this pan out very soon and let you know what I think. \u00a0I have been very impressed with the literature they sent and the wide range of products available. \u00a0I plan to do some reading later on tonight and learn more about this healthy alternative non-stick cookware. \u00a0Hope you all are having a great day!!!<\/span><\/p>\n
