Product Review

Utilizing GREBLON -- an ultra-safe ceramic coating from Germany, the 5 L (5.3 Quart) All-In-One Green Earth Sauce Pan by Ozeri delivers non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free APEO, PFOA, NMP and NEP. Conventional sauce pans and pots often achieve their non-stick performance with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), a potential carcinogen which the EPA has classified as a 'persistent pollutant of the environment', and APEO (Alkylphenol ethoxylates), which are under restricted use in Germany due to environmental concerns about their poor biodegradability and toxicity in the food chain. According to the EPA, once ingested, PFOA is capable of remaining in people for a very long time, and has been shown to cause developmental and other adverse effects in laboratory animals. Likewise, European studies have shown that APEO may be toxic to aquatic life, and has the potential to act as endocrine disrupters. With the Green Earth Sauce Pan, no such controversial chemicals are ever passed on to you or into the environment. This is because the Green Earth Sauce Pan utilizes an inert coating which is applied using a water based Sol Gel Technique that is free of the lesser known but potentially harmful chemicals NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and NEP (N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone) often found in traditional cookware. The Green Earth Sauce Pan is also far more durable and scratch-resistant, and its non-stick surface renders cleaning a breeze. The All-In-One Green Earth Sauce Pan by Ozeri is made of the highest quality die-cast aluminum that allows for even cooking with maximum heat retention. It also features a magnetized bottom for use on induction stoves, and boasts a heat-resistant silicone-coated handle and side helper handle for safe handling. It also includes a tempered glass lid with a steam-release vent and heat-resistant knob. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. GREENHENGE coating made by Weilburger GmbH, Germany.
