Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE fume risk (if coating is PTFE-based), Coating degradation and flaking and Undisclosed chemical composition of nonstick surface on the Calphalon and not on the GreenPan.
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time, Aluminum leaching from substrate and Coating adhesion and food contamination risk on the GreenPan and not on the Calphalon.
- The Calphalon is Aluminum with a non-stick coating Calphalon describes as PFA free where the GreenPan is ceramic nonstick coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 55 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the GreenPan is the one to buy.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
