Green Pans - any verdict?

[trout]

PTFE and PFOA free and those are supposed to be the killers in Teflon.

Anyone else hear anything about them?

 

[Birdlover]

I havent heard of these, I'll be interested to see what other say too

We primarily use cast iron and SS here.

We have the Cuisinart Green pan and like it

 

[Nikki]

I have been using green pans for awhile & I really like them... We even have the baking set.

 

[Sarin]

Never heard of them.. I am going to go look them up now. Thanks!

 

[birdlady]

All SS here..

 

[J*M*L]

Hmmm, interesting. Going to look it up. Some foods just aren't meant to cook in SS, like rice and eggs. Such a pain to clean.

I never heard of green pans before.....here is the link.

Green Pan : the original

Sounds like a new alternative for me and me buring every single thing I make in the SS pans I currently use.

I have all SS and porcelain coated aluminum. Not a non-stick in the house. I may do a little more cleaning, but I KNOW my birds are safe. I'll never forget nearly killing Hank when I used Simple Green. I thought ohboy it's all natural. About 5 min after I mopped with it he was severly respiratory compromised. I had to hold him under my coat outside for an hour with all fans going in the house. He didn't die, but I think it was a contributor to his current issues. GREEN does not mean GOOD.

What else may this new stuff have in it that is dangerous? I don't know - do you?

Looks like HSN has the best deals on sets...

I'll stick with SS and enamel coated cast iron. I do not want to take any chances with that. Even if it says green I still don't trust that about birds respirtory systems.

These green pans are so new...not enough history to know what the effects are...not worth the risk for me. I agree ML...I will stick to SS and a little elbow grease.

I'm with you. It's all supposed to be about the birds, not if we have to do a little more work.

Besides burnt food isn't all that bad. lol

Yup, I eat it all the time!!! Well, I am getting better.....

 

[luvconique]

LOVED THEM! For a few weeks...

They lose their non-stick properties pretty quickly. Not just mine, I've heard this from a number of folks.

Back to good ol' stainless for me!

 

[jamie]

Target is selling these now also ... or maybe they have been for a while, but I just noticed them a few weeks ago. I've been using stainless steel and cast iron for a long time & am happy with them. I probably will not be adding any new cookware anytime soon

 

[waterfaller1]

Have to say I agree with Mary Lynn and Leslie. I will stick with what I know is safe. A little stuck egg or rice is no big deal, turn the heat down a bit and keep tending your food and this won't happen as much. I buy very cheapo scrub pads which I ditch after a few days, and also have a little brush with a handle that helps immensely.

I have heard about this. Maybe if someone has a vet appt for a checkup or something they can ask their avian vet about it.
