Cash for your car

Celebrity Chef Todd English has introduced the GreenPan, a new stainless steel 11” fry pan with glass lid. The functionality and ease of the GreenPan makes it ideal for any kitchen, allowing you to cook a variety of meats and vegetables.  Chef English’s GreenPan is covered with long-lasting Chef Todd English' Green PanThermolon nonstick food release and an even-heating encapsulated aluminum base. Topping it all off is the induction-ready performance that comes from the pan’s mirror-polished stainless steel exterior. The pan is available at HSN and HSN.com and is priced at $54.95.

GreenPan Features

The construction of this spacious 11” fry pan presents benefits for the avid chef, occasional cook and everyone in between. The aforementioned Thermolon nonstick food release reduces the need to add butter, oils or fats. An encapsulated aluminum disc in the pan’s base allows for even temperatures throughout the entire pan and is sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel, yielding greater durability.

The GreenPan from Celebrity Chef Todd English sports a rolled pouring rim that makes pouring and transferring contents easier. It stands at a 2 1/4” height and measures 11-1/2″ in diameter x 20″ in length when including the pan’s ergonomic, stainless steel riveted handle. A tempered glass lid conceals the heat while allowing an unfettered view of the food.

Pan Usage

When it comes to “pan handling”, even the most savvy chef couldn’t ask for much more in handling and durability. The GreenPan and its accompanying lid are dishwasher safe and promises to not spot or degrade over time. The pan itself is also constructed with high-heat resistance, making the GreenPan oven safe up to 850 degrees. The GreenPan’s lid is heat resistant up to 420 degrees.

Green Friendly

Living up to its name, the GreenPan is green friendly as the pan’s long lasting Thermolon is made without PFOA. PFOA is a chemical that is used in the manufacturing of traditional PTFE-based nonstick cookware coatings and other products. Though PFOA is not present in finished cookware products and there are no health risks from PFOA in cookware, it does leave its imprint on our environment. Because PFOA has been found in the environment, many companies have joined the Environmental Protection Agency in working to eliminate the facility emissions and product content of PFOA by the year 2015.

Functionality

In addition to the environmental benefits the use of Thermolon provides an added functionality by making the pan effective from low or medium heat to high heat. The chemical PTFE is traditionally found in nonstick coatings, which typically degrade at temperatures above 500 degrees. However, Thermolon coated pans can be used like your traditional nonstick coated pans while maintaining the heat integrity comparable to your stainless steel or cast iron cookware, meaning you can now use only one pan instead of multiple pans.
