These pans are certainly beautiful, and they cook things very well. The interior nonstick coating is easy to clean as well. However, be aware that coating is VERY fragile. I consider myself a fairly neat and careful cook, and I certainly took every precaution with these pans, including using felt dividers when stacking them. Despite that, just in the normal wear and tear of using them for a few months, several pans have already developed chips in the nonstick coating along the edges.

The interior nonstick coating is easy to clean as well. However, be aware that coating is VERY fragile. I consider myself a fairly neat and careful cook, and I certainly took every precaution with these pans, including using felt dividers when stacking them. Despite that, just in the normal wear and tear of using them for a few months, several pans have already developed chips in the nonstick coating along the edges. Furthermore, when they say no metal cooking utensils, they mean NONE. I accidentally used a pair of rounded metal tongs at one point that despite having no sharp edges, made scratches in the coating. Be additionally aware with the light green color - mine seem very prone to showing discolorations/burn marks even when no food has been spilled on the outside, and once those marks are there it is impossible to clean them away. Overall I think these pans were a worthwhile purchase, but it is disheartening to see them degrade so quickly even when I have been trying my best to keep them like new.

We read a lot of reviews across different sites before selecting these pans. I knew that there were complaints about scratching and chips, so was expecting that will happen. However, I was surprised at how quickly the chips appeared. We followed all instructions. We used two separate pans one time each, one with olive oil and butter in the other heated on low before increasing to medium, without exceeding medium. Used silicone utensils. Allowed to cool after use and hand washed / air dried. Both pans chipped. One on the exterior color by the handle but on the side where I’m not sure how it came in contact with anything since the pans weren’t stacked. The other had multiple chips on the upper edge of the pink and the top of the ceramic part. We purchased these ... MoreWe read a lot of reviews across different sites before selecting these pans.

The other had multiple chips on the upper edge of the pink and the top of the ceramic part. We purchased these instead of stainless steel because I wanted to have something a little easier for every day use with kids in the house, but from this detail you can see how they aren’t very practical if you’re getting them to use for every day cooking expected at a normal level for a family. They’re pretty, but will be chipped so easily that it’s more of a set just for looks, and at the price point I imagine most people would not be happy with the quality. We got them knowing they’d be a cheaper option to the stainless steel and copper pieces we’ll buy. However, I also have pink pans from other brands that have stood up much better over more than a year of frequent use where I’m not nearly as careful. So depending on what you’re looking for, I would recommend going with a different brand.

I have tested this set of pans for a full year now. I have come to the conclusion that buying a cheaper pan every year nets the same results. I purchased my set from Kohl’s. They arrived in a shipping box in perfect shape. The inner manufacturer’s box was also in great shape, but upon opening I discovered that the lids had shifted inside and caused chipping on the ceramic edges of the pans. I immediately emailed Greenpan with photos and received a quick reply informing me that they only handle complaints when you purchase from their website and that I was to take my complaint to Kohl’s. Strike one. It’s a truly gorgeous set, heavy and solid. I love the glass lids with handles rather than knobs. They do get hot, so use a mitt to remove lids while cooking.

HOWEVER, after a year of use, following all instructions and recommendations, (avocado oil only, low heat, no metal utensils, no abrasives, hand washing ONLY) and handling like precious crystal, my most used fry pans now stick. It is incredibly difficult to flip an egg without breaking the yolk due to the sticking. I’ve had much cheaper ceramic pans last longer with less careful treatment. I will continue to use these pans - they are so very pretty and rich feeling - but my next set of pans will not be in this price range.
