Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Ceramic coating degradation and exposure and Bacterial growth on compromised surfaces on the GreenPan and not on the Le Creuset.
  • We flag Lead and cadmium in enamel glaze, Enamel coating degradation and spalling, Iron leaching from exposed cast iron and Cadmium or lead in external decoration or markings on the Le Creuset and not on the GreenPan.
  • The GreenPan is Ceramic nonstick coating where the Le Creuset is Cast iron with enamel coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
