This Shopper-Loved Non-Toxic Frying Pan Is “a Breeze to Clean”

Picking the right frying pan can feel complicated. On the one hand, you want nonstick convenience, but not at the cost of harmful chemicals in your food. That’s why shoppers are switching to non-toxic cookware. And when you find a pan that meets both of those criteria, there’s a good chance that it’ll cost an arm and a leg. Fortunately, these days, there are some decent, non-toxic, nonstick pans available for super reasonable prices. 

One such pan, which shoppers say is “especially amazing” for making eggs, is from GreenPan, whose cookware is said to be toxin-free, and the 12-inch size is on sale for only $30.

GreenPan Rio Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan

This pan reads on paper — and according to shoppers, performs like a frying pan three or four times the price. It’s made from diamond-reinforced ceramic nonstick coating and aluminum that are free of PFAs, PFOAs, cadmium, and more, meaning there’s less chance of unhealthy chemicals entering your food. It’s both metal utensil- and dishwasher-safe, and has handles that stay cool while you’re cooking (some similar options have metal handles that reportedly get very hot). It’s even oven-safe up to 350°F. 

Nearly 7,000 shoppers have given this pan a five-star rating on Amazon, with an overwhelming number pointing out how good the pan is at cooking eggs. “Whether you’re scrambling eggs, frying bacon, or reheating leftovers, the food slides smoothly across the surface,” one shopper reported. “The nonstick ceramic coating is impressive. True to its promise, it’s a breeze to clean.” Another shopper who made the switch to non-toxic cookware felt they made the right move. “I am slowly trying to get rid of Teflon cookware and replace it with ceramic-coated cookware,” they explained. “I’ve tried some brands and they were total junk. This GreenPan was heaven!” They added that eggs were “especially amazing” in the Rio.

A third shopper said they were “amazed” at how effortlessly eggs, pancakes, and vegetables slid off the pan. “It gives me peace of mind knowing that I’m using a healthier option for my cooking,” they said. “The ceramic material heats evenly, ensuring consistent cooking results every time.”
