Where these two actually differ
- We flag Coating degradation and integrity loss and Microparticle shedding from coating on the GreenPan and not on the Imusa.
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation and metal exposure and Durability and premature replacement waste on the Imusa and not on the GreenPan.
- Both carry a flag for Aluminum leaching, so neither choice avoids it.
- The gap is 25 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: 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 →
