Cast iron pans

A heavy and durable material, resistant to high temperatures. The pan lasts for generations. These pans don't warp and are oven-safe. Heating up and cooling down takes a bit longer, but once hot it stays hot for a long time. Don't wash the pan in the dishwasher.

Carbon steel pans

Lighter than cast iron and they heat up faster. These pans are seasoned to create a non-stick layer. Warm the pan up after washing to dry it completely. This prevents rust.

Stainless steel pans

Stainless steel is very light and doesn't rust. These pans are also dishwasher-safe. They can withstand high temperatures but cool down quickly.

Copper pans

These pans don't just look stylish, they're also very durable. Good copper unfortunately doesn't come cheap, but the quality is fantastic. Working on professional dishes like sauces, jam or risotto where you need perfect temperature control? Then the copper pan is the perfect choice.

Aluminium pans

At a lower price you give up some quality, but they're very pleasant to use. They're light pans that are easy to clean. They have excellent heat conduction and are therefore ready to use quickly.

Frequently asked questions

  • Are Greenpan frying pans PFAS-free?

    Yes, all Greenpan frying pans are completely PFAS-free. Greenpan uses its specially developed Thermolon ceramic coating, which contains no PFAS, PFOA, lead or cadmium. No harmful substances are released even when overheated. In 2007, Greenpan was the first brand worldwide to bring a PFAS-free alternative to traditional non-stick coatings to market and has been a leader in safe cookware ever since. You can find all our PFAS-free options in the PFAS-free pans collection.

  • Which Greenpan frying pan is the best choice?

    That depends on your cooking needs. The Geneva is the most affordable entry-level model for 2 to 3 people. The Barcelona Pro is one of our best-selling models: a versatile pan with a glass lid for everyday use, available in several sizes. The Première offers the largest capacity and a luxurious look. The Padova Skyblue is the choice for those who also value design. And the Apex is the most advanced model, with a stainless steel base and a diamond-particle-reinforced coating. All five are PFAS-free and induction-compatible.

  • Are Greenpan frying pans suitable for induction?

    Yes. All five Greenpan frying pans in the Braadbaas range, the Geneva, Barcelona Pro, Première, Padova Skyblue and Apex, are suitable for induction. They are also all suitable for gas, ceramic and electric hobs. Heat the pan gradually on induction to prevent thermal shock. If you would like to see all the induction-compatible models side by side, check out our frying pans for induction.

  • Why does my ceramic Greenpan pan start sticking over time?

    This is the most common question about ceramic pans, and usually, the pan itself isn't to blame. The two biggest causes are overheating and using cooking sprays. At excessively high temperatures, the non-stick coating weakens, and aerosol sprays leave behind an invisible layer of residue that builds up and actually causes sticking. Therefore, cook over low to medium-high heat, use a little regular oil or butter instead of spray, and wash the pan by hand. Does food still stick to the pan? A paste of baking soda and water gently lifts stubborn residue without damaging the coating.

  • Can I use oil or cooking sprays in a Greenpan frying pan?

    Use a small amount of cooking, vegetable, or olive oil, or a pat of butter: that is perfectly fine and helps maintain the non-stick properties. However, avoid aerosol cooking sprays. They contain additives that leave a sticky residue on the coating when heated, which reduces the non-stick properties over time. A thin layer of oil over medium heat provides the best results and the longest lifespan.

  • Can I use metal kitchen utensils in a Greenpan frying pan?

    For most models (Geneva, Barcelona Pro, Première and Padova Skyblue), it is preferable to use wooden, silicone or plastic utensils to preserve the ceramic coating. The Apex is the exception to this rule: thanks to the extra-strong Thermolon 9G coating reinforced with diamond particles on a stainless steel base, this model is suitable for metal kitchen utensils.

  • How long does a Greenpan frying pan last?

    The lifespan depends heavily on use and care. Greenpan offers a lifetime guarantee on the pan itself and a 5-year guarantee on the non-stick coating for its frying pans. With careful use, cooking over low to medium-high heat, hand washing, and no cooking sprays, the coating will last for many years. Do not heat the pan empty and avoid metal utensils (except with the Apex) to protect the coating.

  • Can I use a Greenpan frying pan in the oven?

    The ceramic Thermolon coating itself can withstand high temperatures (up to 450 °C), but the handle is usually the limiting factor for oven use. How high you can go varies depending on the model and handle type. Therefore, always check the oven safety on the product page or packaging of the specific model before placing the pan in the oven.

  • How do I care for my Greenpan frying pan?

    Preferably wash your Greenpan frying pan by hand with warm water and a soft sponge. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on the ceramic coating. Do not heat the pan dry; cook over low to medium heat and use a little oil or butter for the best results. Let a hot pan cool down before rinsing it to prevent thermal shock. This will help preserve the non-stick coating for as long as possible. Want to know more? Read how do I care for my pans?.

  • What is the difference between the Greenpan Barcelona Pro and the Geneva?

    The Barcelona Pro is the versatile, best-selling pan: a sturdy aluminium body with an extra wear-resistant Thermolon coating, included glass lid and available in multiple sizes (Ø24, Ø28 and Ø30 cm). The Geneva is more compact (Ø24 cm / 2.6 L), has a stainless steel base and is more affordably priced, ideal as a first frying pan or for smaller households. Both cook excellently; the difference lies mainly in size, finish and suitability for more intensive use.

  • Is a Greenpan frying pan a good gift?

    Absolutely. Greenpan frying pans combine a modern look, carefully selected materials and intuitive ease of use, making them an ideal gift for cooking enthusiasts, health-conscious cooks or anyone with a new kitchen or induction hob. The Padova Skyblue stands out with its colour, while the Barcelona Pro is a safe choice for the serious home cook. At Braadbaas, all Greenpan frying pans are 100% genuine and available with free returns.

What you need to know about GreenPan Snack Pans

Greenpan: the pioneer in PFAS-free ceramic cooking

Greenpan is the Belgian brand that literally invented the market for ceramic-coated pans. In 2007, it was the first in the world to introduce the Thermolon coating: an alternative to traditional non-stick coatings based on PFAS. Thermolon is a ceramic coating based on silicon (essentially sand) and is free from PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium. This means that no harmful substances are released when heated, even when overheated. That is exactly the reason many people choose Greenpan: you know what is not in your pan. If you want to explore more options, view all PFAS-free pans or read in our blog why you might be better off replacing your Teflon pan.

Thermolon coating: what makes it different from other non-stick coatings?

The ceramic Thermolon coating is at the heart of every frying pan in this overview. While traditional PFAS coatings can degrade at high temperatures, according to Greenpan, Thermolon remains heat-resistant up to 450 °C. The coating provides a smooth surface that prevents food from sticking, even with just a little oil or butter. All five Greenpan frying pans in the Braadbaas range are suitable for induction as well as gas, ceramic and electric stoves. The aluminium core ensures fast and even heat distribution, so your pan quickly reaches the right temperature. A soft sponge is usually sufficient for cleaning; hand washing is recommended to keep the coating looking good for as long as possible. You can find more ceramic options besides Greenpan in our collection of ceramic frying pans.

Which Greenpan frying pan is right for you?

The Greenpan frying pan range at Braadbaas consists of five models, which differ considerably in size, material and price. The Geneva (Ø24 cm / 2.6 L) is the most affordable model: compact, with a stainless steel base and ideal for 2 to 3 people. The Barcelona Pro is one of our best-selling Greenpan frying pans: a sturdy aluminium pan with an extra wear-resistant Thermolon coating, supplied with a glass lid and Greenpan's lifetime guarantee on the pan plus 5 years on the non-stick coating. Conveniently, the Barcelona Pro is available in several sizes (Ø24, Ø28 and Ø30 cm). The Première (Ø26 cm / 3.8 L) is the choice for those who want maximum capacity in a luxurious design with a cast aluminium body. The Padova Skyblue (Ø28 cm) stands out with its striking blue colour and matte gold stainless steel handles. And the brand-new Apex (Ø24 cm / 2.9 L) is the most advanced: a three-layer stainless steel pan with an aluminium core and the Thermolon 9G coating, reinforced with diamond particles and the only one in this range suitable for metal kitchen utensils.

Greenpan sauté pan vs. other brands: a fair comparison

A frequently asked question is how Greenpan sauté pans compare to brands like Le Creuset and Demeyere. The answer depends on what you are looking for. Greenpan excels in ease of use, the health aspect (PFAS-free), a lightweight design, and an affordable price. For quick stir-frying, everyday one-pot meals, and low-fat cooking, a Greenpan sauté pan is particularly practical. While enameled cast iron from Le Creuset scores better on heat retention for stews, and stainless steel sauté pans from Demeyere are preferred for high-heat searing techniques, you choose a Greenpan sauté pan primarily for its convenience, lightweight design, and affordable price.

How to make your Greenpan sauté pan last longer

Ceramic coatings last the longest if you treat them properly, and most complaints about sticking can be avoided with a few habits. Cook over low to medium-high heat: ceramic heats up quickly, and overheating is the fastest way to weaken the non-stick coating. Never heat the pan empty and use a small amount of oil or butter instead of cooking sprays: sprays leave an invisible layer of residue that actually causes sticking over time. Wash your pan by hand with a soft sponge and mild dish soap, and let baked-on residue soak first. Do not use scouring pads or metal utensils, with the exception of the Apex, which can handle metal kitchen utensils thanks to its reinforced coating. Greenpan offers a 5-year warranty on the coating and a lifetime warranty on the pan itself. Read more maintenance tips in how do I maintain my pans?.
