Which Green "Pan" is Right for You?

Whether you’re a professional chef or a complete newcomer to the kitchen, anyone can craft beautiful meals – all you need are the right tools. Our cookware is designed to make every step of the cooking process healthier and effortless. Heat foods faster, clean up easier and use products longer, all while creating healthier meals without PFAS, PFOAS, lead and cadmium. We know, what’s not to love? You can’t go wrong with any of GreenPan’s high-performing cookware, but let’s take a closer look at which pan fits perfectly into your routine. 

 

Getting Started 

 

Size 

 

If you’re cooking for a party of one, or if your kitchen is on the smaller side, here’s what you need to start perfecting recipes on your own. Whether it’s quick scrambled eggs in the morning or fried fish at night, our 8” or 9.5” frypans are practical sizes you can count on. For simmering sauces, soups, and pastas, our 1-quart saucepans will get the job done while saving you space.  

 

When you start preparing larger sized dishes, possibly for friends or a significant other, you might need a cookware upgrade. Our 10” or 11” frypans are lightweight and have plenty of space to make savory sides and sear steaks for delicious two person meals. You’ll also need a 2.5 to 3-quart saucepan that heats up fast and cleans up easy for all your big pasta and sauce nights.  

 

Cook bigger and better with any of our 12” frypans, perfect for family-sized meals. The generous size allows you retain heat longer, add more ingredients, and give your yourself plenty of room to flip or stir. Speaking of space, our 5-quart sauté pans are also going to be essential when tackling large tasks thanks to their deep interior and straight sides – perfect for browning chicken thighs or making chili without sloshing all over your stove. But we can’t forget the global icon that is the wok. The gently sloped sides make our 12” woks remarkable for a wide range of techniques, from smoking and roasting, to frying and braising.

Collections 

 

Rio 

Are you just getting started? There are two things that a beginner chef should look for in their cookware—convenience and performance. If you want easy-to-use cookware with restaurant-grade results, our Rio Collection is a perfect place to start. Each pan comes equipped with stay-cool Bakelite handles for safe cooking if things go awry the first time… or the second. Built for both electric and gas stovetops, their quick-heating, heavy-duty aluminum bodies allow for faster cook times and daily use. But we can’t forget, Rio also features our signature healthy ceramic nonstick coating for effortless nonstick performance.

Feeling more confident? Let’s start experimenting with new recipes and entertaining guests. The best way to do that? Chatham Stainless. It combines versatility and durability, making it a perfect collection for an intermediate chef. Each pan features a 3-ply design with a full aluminum core between two stainless steel layers that bring out the best in both metals—aluminum’s quick heating and stainless’s long lasting strength.   

 

If you’re looking for something small to start with, the 8” and 10” frypans from the Chatham Stainless collection are sure to impress, but we call our Chatham Stainless 11” frypan the “goldilocks pan” because it’s just right for everything. It’s not so big that it will crowd your stove, but it still has plenty of room for big cuts of meat, sautéing veggies, and your favorite one-pan meals. And we didn’t forget about your sauces and sides. The 3.75-quart sauté pan means you’ll have plenty of room for all your favorites. It’s also proof you’re never too good to appreciate a pan you can just throw a bunch a stuff in. The 2.5-quart saucepan is a great in-between size for perfecting your homemade pasta sauce or nailing the mastering the classic bechamel (be brave, it’s just French).
