Why this grade

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 T-fal.
  • We flag Ceramic coating durability and delamination and Aluminum leaching if coating fails on the T-fal and not on the GreenPan.
  • The GreenPan is Ceramic nonstick coating where the T-fal is ceramic nonstick coating on aluminum base, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 85 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 →
