Chez Peachy Introduces: GREENPAN™ A New Generation of Cookware

You know at Whom You Know we love the color green because Peachy Deegan is Irish.  Well we have one more reason to love it now in the kitchen because of the name of a fabulous new line: GreenPan.  GreenPan™ is a young, international company with headquarters in Belgium, and has opened its doors in Tarrytown, NY. 
GreenPan™ develops and manufactures qualitative household products based on 3 core principles: convenience, health and environment. 

Cooking and eating has become so much more than fulfilling a primal need. Society has become well aware of what we eat and cooking has become a trend. GreenPan™ created non-stick pans that allow you to prepare delicious dishes on products that look great!

GreenPan™ provides with the new Thermolon™ non-stick technology, an environmentally friendly alternative to the conventional non-stick fry pan, and other non-stick cookware. Thermolon™ is completely PTFE and PFOA free, consumes less energy during the application process and cannot be overheated. It is also a better conductor of heat then traditional coatings. The perfect heat distribution allows even heating and cooking on low to medium temperatures, which equals lower energy bills and a friend to the environment!                                                                                                                                                               The mineral coating used on all GreenPan™ products is not only heat resistant up to 850°F, but combines perfect non-stick properties and are scratch resistant. Furthermore, Thermolon™ is a “green” coating. During the application process of this new non-stick technology, there is 60% less CO2 emitted in comparison with conventional non-stick coatings.
GreenPan™ has several product categories providing a wide choice of excellent performing and state-of the art products. Categories consist of Cookware, Professional Cookware, Ovenware, Electrics, Essentials and Accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PTFE?
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer which was discovered in
1938. In 1949 it was introduced as a commercial product. PTFE is an ethyl polymer
where the hydrogen atoms are replaced by Fluor. The polymer has a very big length
and is one of the largest molecules. Since its discovery in 1938, the PTFE structure has
remained unchanged.

What is PFOA?
PFOA (Perflueoroctoanoic acid also known as C8) is an artificial acid that has many
industrial uses. PFOA can designate the acid itself or its principal salts (like
ammonium perfluorooctanoate). Perfluorooctane sulfonate is a related compound,
used as a surfactant. The durability of PFOA prevents it from breaking down once in
the environment, leading to widespread buildup and bioaccumulation in food chains.
