Key features & specs

How it compares

The GreenPan Reserve Ceramic Nonstick Fry Pan stands apart from traditional PTFE-coated pans by using a sand-derived silicon base rather than synthetic plastics. Unlike standard ceramic pans that may lose their slickness within months, the Reserve series utilizes diamond-infused layers for increased durability and thermal conductivity. While it competes with cast iron for heat retention, it offers a significantly lighter weight and a much easier cleaning process that does not require seasoning.

What to know before buying

1. Always use low to medium heat settings to preserve the lifespan of the ceramic coating.
2. Avoid using aerosol oil sprays as the lecithin can build up and create a sticky residue.
3. While marketed as dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge is the best way to maintain the gold-tone handle finish.
4. Allow the pan to cool completely before submerged in water to prevent thermal shock and warping.
5. Use silicone or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the diamond-infused surface.
