GreenPan Barcelona Frying Pan 24cm - Frying Pans Black - CW002206-002

The traditional non-stick effect is obtained by coating pans with PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), a waxy, synthetic substance. PTFE has well documented disadvantages in normal household use. At temperatures above 260°C/500°C these PTFE coatings dissolve. It is proven that the vapours released are lethal to animals such as birds. In humans these vapours can affect the respiratory tract and cause nausea and headaches. Therefore, overheating will not only damage your pan, but also endanger your health. GreenPan does not use PTFE but offers a healthy alternative on the market with Thermolon non-stick technology. Thermolon is heat resistant up to 450°C / 850°C. This means that GreenPan offers additional safety. If the pan is overheated, no toxic fumes are released and the coating will not form bubbles or peel off. Thermolon distributes heat better than traditional coatings. Ideal for spicy browning and crispy frying results. The perfect heat distribution guarantees even frying and ensures an even tan. It allows you to prepare food at low to medium temperature, which has a positive effect on your electricity bill and the environment. Thanks to the advanced technology, the moisture and taste of the food is sealed almost instantly, ensuring great taste and aroma. The Thermolon surface offers great non-stick properties and is easy to clean.
