I believe these will not work on induction cook tops. Can any owners confirm this?

Box says they can be used on Electric, Ceramic, Gas, Halogen stoves. HOWEVER, the bottom has a rough, waffle-like surface, so if you are worrying about scratches, I’d at least be careful at first.

OOH! I got some of these last time around and I LOVE them… Of course I don’t cook much so I’ve been primarily just using the frying pan, but it’s the best pan I’ve Ever used. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I think I’m going to get more, just in case… I suppose I can give away the extra wok, or something.

Not sure what somebody meant by ‘not completely non-stick’. First few times I cooked with it, things just fell out smoothly (eggs etc). But I haven’t been taking care of it exactly to instructions (I’ve been using spray on oil) so it stuff doesn’t ‘fall’ out anymore but it’s certainly more non-stick than any other pan I’ve ever used.

These pans are pretty much the same as the original ones who started this PFOA- and PTFE-free trend, called [Green Pan](http://www.green-pan.com/cookware/intro.asp, post:10, topic:278662).

I’ve used the Green Pan versions for a while and they are remarkably non-stick. Eggs, cheese, and potatoes won’t stick onto them as long as they have a tiny amount of oil slicked onto the pans.

The only concern about these pans (and Green Pan itself) is that there’s scarce information about them online. Although these pans may be PFOA and PTFE free, they might have been made with other hazardous chemicals! Irregardless, I still think these work better than the Teflon-coated pans, especially since we all know that Teflon-coated pans are manufactured with said hazardous chemicals.

I only use these pans when non-stickiness is necessary, such as cooking eggs, potatoes, and fish in a jiffy. For all other things, I use stainless steel and if I’m in a good mood, cast-iron. Both these pans and Green Pan, as some other reviewers online have noted, is that they lose their nonstickiness over time but I am more than certain that’s because those owners either 1) failed to clean their pans well with scrubbing/soap and 2) failed to manage heat control properly and ended up burning food onto the pans. Burnt food/grease on these pans will dramatically reduce nonstickiness, making everything seemingly stick to the pan. To remedy, scrub the pans well, and avoid ever over-burning food onto the pans again. I’ve had my Green Pan for over a year now and the non-stickiness is quite miraculous.

I fixed your hyper-link for “greenpan” Green Pan

I also found this with induction cook top abilityPricey though

I want the pans, minus the sky blue buttons that if pressed in proper combination may or may not end the world while cooking eggs and bacon.

[ZiaR]

so… no teflon in these?

[jguru]

damn it

i could nt sleep

so I had to buy these, after reading reviews

my 2 year old has fever today

Can anyone give insight into how difficult is it to scratch these? Plastic Fork? Metal Fork?

Someone mentioned it peeling near the top. Did you hand-wash?

Side Note:
Although irregardless is a word (ish) . . . why not use regardless and save your keyboard the useless button presses.

Scratch? Watch this guy’s videos on youtube regarding Safepans. SAFEPAN SCRATCH TEST - YouTube

I bought a set last time when they were 69.99, they are well worth the money. If I had the extra I would buy another set for my mother and my daughter. Absolutely the best set of non stick pans I have ever owned. If you can afford them, you will not be sorry you bought them. Wish there was a lid for the small one though.

I too wanted a lid for the small one, but found a suitable one on eBay for $14 shipped. The lid was the second best investment I made… These pans being the first! Very nice pans!!

You need a pan that is made out of an ferromagnetic material - something that has iron in it. Since these are aluminum, you may get some heating, but probably not enough to cook with.

Apparently SafePan hates the visually disabled.

Their entire website is just a series of pictures - no text.

When they say dishwasher safe, do they really mean it or is it one of these: “You can put it in the dishwasher but it may affect the life of the nonstick surface”?

Thanks.

I have an induction cook top and it works perfectly. You have to cook a little over medium to maintain a boil but they heat up in and hold the heat really well.

Anyone know if that blue “button” thing on the handle does anything?

It’s just decoration. It fell off of one of my pans within 2 weeks. Aside from that, these are fantastic pans. I’m thinking of buying a second set.

[Galaxie64]

Bought these last time around. I have a glass top oven and they work fine with it. I also use a metal spatula and have yet to scratch any of them. I used to go through Walmart pans about every year or two and these are holding up far better. I use them probably 4-6 times a week. I’ve also burned a few things in them and they still clean up super easy.

Forgot to mention the rough bottom allows you to stir in the pan without holding on to the handle to keep it from shifting around.

I have a set of these and the box says “Made in Korea”. I can say, unequivocally, that these are the best non-stick pans I have ever used. Even rinsing out grease from a cheeseburger rinses out without and trace. They get hot and stay hot at low heat. Amazing. I am seriously considering buying 3 more sets for gifts. .::My humble opinion only, of course::.

is anyone sure where these are made?.. korea would be great. they make excellent products. i’m worried it’s made in china which everyone knows has a murky history of reliability and quality… any updates would be greatly appreciated.

[sstaylor]

I had to look this up; I’ll spare everyone else the trouble.
28cm=11 inches
20cm=7.87 inches

Sadly, I’m currently looking for a larger frypan, else I’d be sorely tempted.

Good morning Wooters. These pans are made in Korea.

Hope you find that information helpful.

You are 100% correct. Their website says this as well. It is dishwasher safe, but they highly suggest washing them by hand. Since it is so non-stick though, cleaning is very easy. I bought this set for 69 back in January.
