Quick review: Best pan I ever had, I am looking to buy more of these because every time I buy something and I truly love it, they disappear, so I am going buy more and put them away for future use.I was so tired of trying new pans, only to have to get rid of them because they warped, or were not as non-stick as they promised, or the coating on the pan started to deteriorate, or you had to "Season" the pan, which never lasts. I like using non-stick pans because I do a lot of cooking. I cook for the VFW, the Moose Lodge, and for disabled Veterans that are in need of some help. I was out shopping one day and found the 7" pan on sale, I bought it as an egg pan and put it in my cabinet, three months later when my last pan warped I took it out and used it. I was impressed and after using it for about a month, decided to search for other pans of the same brand, make and model and found these ones. I bought them and I have never been more satisfied. So much so that I send a set of them to my mother on mother's day, and she now thanks me all the time for them.Here is what I like about them. First, to say that they are non-stick is truly an accurate description, I make gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches with three types of cheese and the cheese does not stick, I cook eggs with less than half a teaspoon of butter, and if you like you can cook them without butter, and yes you can use a spatula and the eggs do not stick. Cleanup is even after cooking bacon where the bitts and bobs stick to the bottom of the pan is as simple as running water in the pan and they slide out. Plus the outside of the pan is coated with something that grease does not stick to very well. Every pan I have had gets a black crust on the bottom because I flip things without a spatula and a bit of grease always runs down the outside of the pan and gets baked on, but with this pan, an easy, and I do mean easy wipe with a scrub pad and it's gone. The pan has a 2mm diffuser at the bottom build into the pan and it makes it durable, strong and warp proof.The one and only problem with the pan. When I first started to use the pan there was a chemical smell that come off the pan or the handle, I think it was the handle. I might have had the flame up to high and it heated the silicone rubber or whatever the handle is made of to a higher temp and the smell was not pleasant. I now keep the pan slightly off center of the burner so that the handle is further away from the flame and I do not have that problem anymore. This may be due to my new stove, I hate it as the flames are an inch further away from the bottom of my pans and I have to use higher heat to even boil water. So, I don't think it is the pans fault, but my stoves fault.

Best money I’ve spent in awhile,cooks evenly,very little oil needed,cleans up so easily,no forever chemicals,I love em, I would definitely recommend them!

I tried these pans once I learned how traditional non-stick pans, such as Teflon pans, actually work, which is by releasing oily PFAS compounds ("forever chemicals") as they heat up. Not only are those compounds toxic, but eventually they all come out of the substrate material, eventually rendering those pans useless.These GreenPans, however, have surfaces that do not rely on chemicals. They are imply non-stick by nature.These pans must be handled carefully so as not to damage the non-stick coating, but aside from that they are the best pans I have ever used. Very minimal applications of butter or oil will suffice, and they are a breeze to clean.

I love these and want to give them 5 stars, but they arrived with nicks and discoloration in the finish. It looks like I was sent a used set instead of new.

The GreenPan Rio Healthy Ceramic Nonstick 8" and 10" Frying Pan Skillet Set is a game-changer in my kitchen. Transitioning from traditional to ceramic nonstick cookware, I was skeptical, but this set proved its worth from the first use. Crafted with health and convenience in mind, these pans have transformed the way I cook.First off, the PFAS-free claim stands strong, giving me peace of mind that no harmful chemicals are leeching into my food. Cooking has never been healthier. The ceramic nonstick surface is exceptional—not only does it require less oil, making meals healthier, but cleanup has also become a breeze. A quick wipe or a gentle dishwasher cycle, and the pans are as good as new, without the worry of damaging the coating.The set includes an 8" and a 10" skillet, sizes that are versatile for any cooking need, from searing meats to sautéing vegetables. The heat distribution is impressively even, leading to perfectly cooked dishes every time. Plus, the sleek black design and durable construction add a touch of elegance and resilience to my cookware collection.The handles are designed for comfort, and despite the pans' lightweight nature, they feel sturdy and well-made. Their dishwasher-safe feature is a bonus, although I often find them so easy to clean by hand that I rarely feel the need to use the dishwasher.While these pans excel in performance and ease of use, I did notice that they perform best at medium to low heat. High temperatures can potentially damage the nonstick surface over time, so a bit of care is required to maintain their integrity.In summary, the GreenPan Rio Healthy Ceramic Nonstick Skillet Set is a standout choice for anyone looking to upgrade their cookware with an eye towards health, convenience, and style. They've certainly earned their place in my kitchen, and I can't recommend them enough for everyday cooking needs. A solid 5 stars for both functionality and design.
