Green Cookware
A few years ago, buying ‘green' cookware meant jumping on the fashion bandwagon and picking up a set of kiwi-colored Le Creuset. Now the selling point is all about the environmental warm and fuzzies, with a sense of personal well-being thrown in。
World-renowned chef Todd English launched his GreenPan line of cookware on Home Shopping Network three years ago. His PFOA- and PTFE-free Thermolon coating was the first ceramic-based non-stick that could withstand high heat, up to 850 degrees. Martha Stewart's EcoCook collection also uses Thermolon. A similar surface on Cuisinart's GreenGourmet Cookware is called Cuisinart Ceramica, while Starfrit's is Ceram-Eco. Who comes up these names? And does it even matter?
'Green' cookware is defined as non-stick Aluminum Cookware that's free of two chemicals technically known as PFOA and PTFE. PFOA, or perfluorooctanoic acid, is the substance that adheres non-stick coatings to pans, while PTFE, polytetrafluoroethylene, is that coating itself, better known by its brand name, Teflon. PFOA is a carcinogen that is released during the manufacturing process. It is set to be phased-out of use completely by 2015. PTFE decomposes at over 660 degrees, producing gases that can kill birds and cause flu-like symptoms in humans.
Going green means many things to many people. Given the range of available green cookware, consumers no longer have to merely believe-in it to make the plunge, they can actually buy it because it cooks pretty well. Americans love non-stick because it's a cinch to clean and requires little or no cooking oil or fat, but they don't love harmful chemicals, Going green will be a good solution.

How can I restore nonstick quality to Greenpan cookware?
About a year ago I acquired several Greenpan frying pans with "Thermolon". When we first used them we could fry eggs in them and they would actually slide around in the pan when tilted. Now, after much use, it's a different story. We're looking for a way to restore or enhance the nonstick quality of these pans if it's possible. And, yes I did email this question to the company but haven't yet received a reply.
If the non-stick coating is damaged, there's no way to restore it at home. You don't have the technology. That's one reason I won't buy non-stick. The coating does get damaged sooner or later, usually sooner, and then you have a pan that sticks. Go really "green" and buy pans that will perform the same way they did when new for 50 years and more. Stainless, Cast Iron, enamel.
