Nice. I want some of these pans. I am in serious need of some new cookware…and dishes and silverware and… I’ve hit that 11 year marriage mark and everything we got for wedding presents is falling apart at the same time.

you can find them for about $100 online. plus $16.00 shipping. sure read some negative reviews however. BUT….. i am still interested in them.

I returned mine within a few weeks as the non-stick coating vanished quickly with daily use. The handles would also get dangerously hot.

You’ve had these pans for a while now. How have they held up? Seems to be a few negative reviews here so would be great to hear from someone who has had some success.

I am very disappointed by your opening remarks. That demonstates right of the top that your level of scientific understanding is poor. This leads me to believe that the rest of your knowledge may also be limited. You should certainly read more information before making an extremely uneducated comment like this in a public forum. Just ask the top 100 climatologists from around the world … don’t just listen to Al Gore (I’m guessing you are a Republican?) Sorry but the truth hurts!

Like an idiot, I trusted HSN’s ‘seal of approval’ and discarded all evidence of purchase. These pans were the cat’s meow and would last for years and years… The larger frying pan ‘worked’ for about a month of normal usage and then I found myself with the scouring side of the kitchen sponge. Wasn’t I doing this with my old cast iron pan??? I found it easier to throw the thing away and avoid frustration. My thoughts are ‘don’t waste your money’.

Wow, I was really excited about this product until I read all of the comments. It seems that HSN is just cashing into the green consumerism. Interesting that companies like that actually get us to buy into consumerism by telling us we need something green. If you guys have any better green pan suggestions please let me know–I need to register for pans for my wedding.

ok, now I’m in Malaysia and green pan is being promoted through the Asian Food Network channel (TV satellite). I’ve read so many more negative than positive reviews. Only thing I can think about is the type of stove? that is used when cooking with them. Over here we have gas stoves more than electric as electricity is costly. What would be the reasoning behind so many negatives and then so many positives? Why do people’s opinions re: green pan differ so much? I want to purchase it but now have many doubts. Can you help?

If after reading all the negative reviews you still want to try these pans, I would suggest you buy one single pan. That’s what my husband and I did.

We were delighted with the pans for about two months–it was fantastic! Just as promised, the food did not stick or burn. Then the coating started chipping away–small little chips which the literature said would not compromise the performance–but the food began to stick and the clean up was worst than our stainless steel pans. Shortly after the third month, which was well beyond our HSN return date, we stopped using the pan.

Yes, we followed the instructions on how to prepare the pan before using it. Yes, we used non-metal utensils. No, we never but it the dishwasher.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to share my review on the Green Pan. I tried to post a review on the HSN site, but my comments weren’t accepted because my review was greater than 90 days from the date of purchase.

Don’t waste your money! Food sticks and the pans stain. You better cook on very low temp or you have a major mess. You still have to soak like with any cheap pan. No non-stick spray? Yeah, right!

The green pan is the worse cookware I have ever used. I think it is a crime to continue to lie to the public and they continue to do it. The first couple of times it worked fine. I was ready to get a complete set and then it started sticking badly, I reread the directions and watch HSN promotion again and decided the pans are junk and HSN are not responding to customers complaints. Won’t even accept them. I do not recommend green pan or HSN.

The pan stuck like crazy after a few months. I think i left more salmon on the pan than the meal I was preparing. I have no idea how to even get a replacement.

Wow. I’m surprised to read all these bad experiences with Green Pans. We got one pan as a gift last Christmas and we’ve been using it and loving it ever since with none of the problems reported above. We’re not particularly gentle with it either – it gets used about four times a week and goes in the dishwasher every time. We’ve been thinking about getting a complete set to replace our old pans, but now I’m wondering if we didn’t get lucky and get the one fluke pan that was actually good.

Individual pans can be purchased at Target.com

I bought these pans and to echo all the negative comments they are completely junk. Just cook a steak in it and try and get it clean, IMPOSSIBLE.
Isn’t it funny that when you watch the info commercial that they never show them cleaning up a pan after using it. I feel so bad for all the people that are buying the pan. Oh yeah and forget about getting any sympathy from HSN

I was so excited to see these pans come out. My son can not excreet the almuminum in his body so I can not use aluminum or teflon. That is why I bought the full set and donated my old non-stick pans since they were still in very good shape. I have had for 5 months now. Both my frying pan sticks so badly when we make scrambled eggs and we have always used oil…never used non-stick spray. We made tips in the grilling frying pan and we had them medium rare. We had them on a little higher heat to sear. The pan was all black and it doesn’t come out. I am VERY, VERY dissapointed with these pans. My mother just ordered these from HSN and I am telling her to send them back!!!! I have left a message at Ingenious Design, but now after reading all of the negative comments I am wondering if I am even going to hear back from them. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!

I have no expertise when it comes to legal matters. Just how does the process of a “Class Action Lawsuit” begin? Anyone?? I’m guessing there’s enough people who didn’t think to see this thread (or others very similar) to see that these things aren’t worth their weight in AOL CD-ROMS. I’ll be the first to step up and sign when one begins – please notify me.
My story reads much like the others; never has the phrase “caveat emptor” been felt so profound as the day my morning eggs turned my new (1 month old) green pans a horrid hue of burnt brown. Albeit I don’t have a culinary degree, I know how to cook an egg, and I can cook it well – with the right tools that is. This major malfunction was not user error, it was fully piss-poor product; and it wasn’t just the small (egg) pan, but the large pans also that took on the same nasty “you can’t cook for s**t” appearance. I did not put them in a dishwasher, I did not put them over high heat, I did not put them in an oven, I did not put them under scrubber. (For 1 month) I used them lovingly, I used them carefully, I used them respectfully, I even displayed them proudly. (from our kitchen pan rack!)
Why I didn’t I dig a little deeper to see what people were saying about these things – I don’t know, but take heed! If you haven’t bought these things already… run and run away fast. I’m not just using my employers time up here telling you all this for nothing. These things really suck, and yeah you’re gonna be pissed off like the rest of us – sooner than later if you get schmoozed by Joe (who is it?) mama, and Todd English. Hey Chef English, just so you know I’m boycotting all your restaurants too! How could you endorse what I know you don’t use and must know is absolute crap!
For those of you still reading my rant, I’m serious about that class action lawsuit – lets get the ball rollin’! – t

BOUGHT GREEN PANS FROM HSN. NEVER AGAIN! NO MORE HSN FOR ME. THEY ARE PURE CRAP.

Green Pans do NOT hold up, they are a rip off and shame on any site that hawkes them.
I am an experienced cook, followed all directions precisely and got very poor results, especially pertaining to the non stick promises. Do not waste your money.

The green pans do not work as advertised. I bought the set with the assumption that “this is the last set of pans” i would have to buy as that was the exact thing the informercial on hsn told me. Its horrible. I would rather continue to buy a 15 dollar pan from walmart every 6 months than these expensive pans which have lasted less than 3 months. Buyer beware.

We bought the Green Pan when we got new appliances b/c we needed somehting that wouldn’t scratch the cermaic cooktop. Bought them off HSN, looked great on the advertising. WE HATE THEM!!! I’m soaking 3 pans for the 5th time in oven cleaner and they will not come clean. We use non-stick spray and everything sticks. I’ve still got scrambled eggs on the bottom of one of them even after soaking, scrubbing, putting in dishwasher on pot scrub, etc. One of my pans is completely black/brown and is very sticky. We’ve gone back to buying the cheap pans at Wal-Mart and they work great.

And don’t forget about Earth Pan Cookware as well. Sandflow technology is where it’s at BAYBEEE! : )

I have the complete set and what a waste of money, my mother purchased them for me and I feel horrible she wasted her hard earned money on pure hype. Sure, the pans work the first few times but even with the most ginger of care they soon peel, warp and begin to smell funny when heated. There are brown marks on the inside of the pan that will never ever come out, I have been using them just because I have nothing else and am trying to save up for enamel coated cast iron. I took good care of these pans, every use the performance decreased. I am most concerned about the “green” coating on this pan, if it is no longer non stick that means I have probably ingested it.

I am a chef, and my mother got me these pans for Christmas a year ago. At first I loved them, and used them constantly. I took good care of them, even though they are supposed to be dishwasher safe, I rarely washed them in the dishwasher, always washing them by hand. However, now after using them for a while, the nonstick surface has totally worn off, and everything burns and sticks. As a professional chef, I would not recommend these pans. They are great at first, but the quality does not last. I wish mom would have got me just one nice all-clad pan instead of the set of green pans.

A friend gave us two sizes of fry pans as a house warming gift. I went online because she said she had seen some negative comments but thought they were really good. As so many other have said, they were great at first, nothing stuck. Soon things were sticking and now brown marks from the food will not come off the surface and I am not using these at the temperatures they say you can use. I have never put them in the dishwasher and “seasoned” them as they recommended. Mine may be only experiencing these conditions at a later date than others because I use gas heat source. I wonder if the people who have the problems appearing sooner might use an electric stove? I have no doubt that the problems will increase as time goes on. I would not buy any additional pans to go with these but will look at other manufactures.
