Where these two actually differ
- We flag Aluminum leaching, Ceramic coating degradation and flaking and Heat stability of coating under normal use on the GreenPan and not on the Our Place.
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation and aluminum leaching on the Our Place and not on the GreenPan.
- The GreenPan is Ceramic nonstick coating where the Our Place is Ceramic nonstick coating on aluminum core, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 30 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 →
