GreenPan Valencia Pro: what the coating is
A coated pan, but one whose coating has a published description.
The Valencia Pro scores 62/100 on our Australian listing, the best coated pan in that table. Food touches Thermolon, a ceramic sol-gel coating on hard-anodised aluminium. GreenPan says it is free of PFAS, including PTFE and PFOA.
It is a disclosure score out of 100, not a safety rating. We do not lab-test; we score what the maker publishes. How we score.
The score, and why
Mostly inert. A described coating, with a filing behind the claim.
- 34/60 What touches your food. A coating, so not bare metal. GreenPan says Thermolon “is based on a derivative of sand” made into a sprayable sol-gel.
- 17/25 Lids, seals, handles, outside. Stainless handles on a hard-anodised aluminium body.
- 11/15 Backed up. GreenPan files a California AB 1200 disclosure. Our US listing scores 57; the difference is 5 points here.
