Overview

A cook avoiding PTFE and PFOA coatings gets a ceramic-based nonstick grill surface on a hard-anodized aluminum body with this Cuisinart GreenGourmet pan. Ridges mark chicken, shrimp or panini on the burner, and the riveted steel handles allow a move into the oven or broiler.

A water-based ceramic coating, applied at lower heat than traditional nonsticks and free of PTFE and PFOA, is what sets it apart. Care is strict: hand washing only, and the listing states two different temperature limits, so stay at the lower one.

Who it's for

Weeknight cooks grilling lean proteins or pressing sandwiches indoors get easy release with less oil. People with an induction range, or who want dishwasher cleanup, should keep looking.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Coating free of PTFE and PFOA
  • Hard-anodized exterior resists wear
  • Stay-cool riveted stainless steel handles
  • Oven and broiler safe
Cons
  • Hand wash only
  • Induction compatibility not listed
  • Conflicting maximum temperature in the listing

Performance notes

The aluminum body spreads heat quickly and evenly, so the pan reaches cooking temperature without a long preheat. Release depends on the ceramic coating staying intact, which is why hand washing with mild detergent is specified. The stay-cool claim for the handles applies to stovetop use.
