Greenpan is owned by the company The Cookware Company. Hilde evaluates parent companies rather than individual brands. You can read more about why we think this approach is more helpful for consumers on our blog.

Nonstick cookware made by The Cookware Company was one of the first to market products using PFAS-free claims. This product safety claim was initially appealing given the lack of options and real health concerns associated with materials used in traditional nonstick products. But we’ve always had reservations because of the lack of disclosure about the alternative materials used to create the nonstick performance and the absence of a solid company chemicals policy for the brands using the technology. Our research and evaluation shows plenty of opportunities for a more comprehensive approach to ingredient safety and sustainability.
