GreenPan Chatham Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Healthy Ceramic Nonstick 10" Frying Pan Skillet, PFAS-Free, Induction Suitable, Dishwasher Safe, Silver

There’s a bit of controversy — many people avoid all those crazy chemicals by buying only stainless steel or cast iron (and they should keep an eye on the new titanium pans e.g. sold by “Our Place” — titanium is almost certainly bio-safe, e.g. with a long history of titanium hip implants and no observed side effects or leeching) The controversy is some yet-unproven lawsuits stating GreenPan has not been exactly as green as they advertise. However, even websites evaluating this will state that GreenPan is getting ever and ever better at making their pans ‘green’ over the decades. (Pans I bought about 25 years ago, showed sure signs of wear … later ones I bought are clearly better … this one, on first purchase, looks like it’ll be the best yet.) My own method, is that when a pan shows any scratches, pitting, or chips, out it goes. Any at all. By that standard, I am pleased with this purchase. Past greenpans are not 100% nonstick, but certainly more convenient than stainless steel, etc. and less care needed than cast iron. I use stainless steel or le creuset for pots, but I want something nonstick for my fry pans. In case you want to buy a glass lid for this pan (useful e.g. for Spanish chicken and rice) the outer rim is exactly 12”! The inner rim is exactly 3/16” less than that, i.e. 11-13/16”. I’d look for a 12” cover that has an inner rim of 11-3/4” or less to fit perfectly. The handle is metal so the pan is oven safe. The two rivets that attach the handle do go through to the inside of the pan, and they are also covered with the nonstick surface inside the pan, so they will likely clean well except may collect something around the edges just a bit. Trivial. I prefer these rivets because they never loosen, compared to nuts or screws. Bottom of the pan and very top of the rim are stainless steel. Pan certainly holds a magnet strongly, i.e. good for induction. I am in the habit of adding postscripts to my amazon reviews when a product goes bad, so if this review is untouched, my pan is still going strong. I use this size about 3 times/week. I also note that GreenPan considers its “GP5” line to be its best. This pan is not GP5, it’s their Chatham line. The note that came with this pan… well I’ll just upload a photo rather than type it all in. Should be helpful. Frankly, they’re so easy to wash with soap and a soft sponge, and too large to be comfortable in a dishwasher, that I’d always wash this by hand.

Great for cooking just about anything

I've been using this pan for months now and have had zero problems! I'm using silicone utensils and using it every day and have had no issues with the non-stick material. I recommend!

I'm pleased with the 12" pan. It's very flat on the bottom which is great on our glass top stove. Cleans easily with a sponge and dish soap. The thick bottom distributes heat very well. It is non-stick too. So far we just used it twice but I'm sure it will last for decades.
