Our verdict

A colorful ceramic nonstick set that covers frying, simmering and steaming with tools included. Its low oven limit and missing induction support rule it out for oven finishing and induction cooktops.

Overview

Not a traditional PFAS nonstick set, the GreenPan Rio uses a ceramic coating called Thermolon over aluminum pans. Bakelite handles stay cool on the burner, glass lids show the food, and a steamer insert plus bamboo tools round out the kit.

A full lineup of frypans, saucepans, a saute pan, a casserole and a steamer covers most home cooking in one box. The oven limit is low for searing then roasting, and induction is not among the listed cooktops.

Who it's for

New households, first apartments and kitchens replacing a worn mixed set get matching pans, lids and tools in one purchase. Induction owners and cooks who roast at high oven heat should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Coating free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, cadmium
  • Steamer and bamboo tools included
  • Three frypan sizes
  • Glass lids show cooking progress
Cons
  • Low oven safe limit
  • Induction not listed as compatible
  • Care spec also says hand wash only
  • Frypans come without lids

Performance notes

The Thermolon ceramic surface, reinforced with diamonds per the maker, governs how cleanly eggs and fish release. The aluminum bodies spread heat from gas or coil burners across the base. Glass lids hold heat in while letting you watch the food.

Yes. A stainless steel steamer and 4 bamboo tools are part of the set. Lids come only with the saucepans, the saute pan and the casserole, not the frypans.

Is the GreenPan Rio set dishwasher safe?

The description says dishwasher safe, while the care field also lists hand wash only. Hand washing is the cautious route for the coating.

Is GreenPan Rio a PTFE nonstick set?

No. It uses Thermolon ceramic nonstick, which the listing says is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium.

Do the GreenPan Rio handles get hot on the stove?

The Bakelite handles are described as stay-cool for a comfortable grip on the stovetop.
