What the Cooking Surface Is
Thermolon, GreenPan's ceramic nonstick, which the brand describes as made from sand-derived silicon dioxide (SiO2). The Valencia Pro version is diamond-infused.
The body is hard-anodized aluminum, meaning the aluminum's surface has been electrochemically hardened, with GreenPan's Magneto base for induction cooktops.
What the Brand Says About PFAS
GreenPan says its ceramic nonstick is "PFAS-free" and "made without intentionally added PFAS."
Published Test Results
We could not find a published PFAS test report that names a lab for the Valencia Pro or for Thermolon. GreenPan's website cites Consumer Reports research that rated GreenPan as free of PFAS, but it does not link to underlying test data.
Heat and Care
GreenPan rates the Valencia Pro oven-safe up to 600 °F (316 °C). It recommends low to medium heat, oil or butter, and wooden or silicone utensils, and advises against aerosol cooking sprays, whose propellants can damage nonstick coatings.
