Where these two actually differ
- We flag Silicone degradation and leaching, Color dyes or pigments in silicone and Bacterial growth in grip seams or joints on the GreenPan and not on the GreenPan.
- We flag Silicone degradation over time and Bacterial growth in silicone on the GreenPan and not on the GreenPan.
- The GreenPan is silicone, stainless steel handle where the GreenPan is silicone handles, stainless steel tongs, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
