Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation and particle ingestion, Thermal decomposition of coating at high temperature and Coating adhesion loss over time on the GreenPan and not on the .
- We flag Silicone leaching (oligomers and uncrosslinked polymers), Odor and stain absorption and Thermal degradation at misuse temperatures on the and not on the GreenPan.
- The GreenPan is Ceramic non-stick coating (proprietary GreenPan Thermolon) where the is silicone elastomer, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are 5 points apart, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
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 →
