Review: UPDATED REVIEW-have much better luck with this pan while using butter, oil made food stick to this like crazy - UPDATE to below: first i wrote that I loved this pan (see below.) Then after a week, EVERYThING was sticking to the pan, really bad, worse than any other pan, and I was going to downgrade it to one star. I had been using canola oil btw, a fair amount of it, and I thought - what the heck, am I going to start having to waste a ton of oil on this thing? Very disappointed. To the point where I couldn't stand cooking with it anymore bc everything was sticking to it like glue, so I ordered a different pan to use, which I wasn't thrilled about because this one has a much larger cooking area, and I had just bought it and already it wasn't working, right after I threw away the packaging of course. Then one day I tried something different. I heated up the pan on medium heat as always, before putting anything on it. Then after it got hot, I held a stick of butter vertically and just rubbed the cooking area of the pan with it - not too much butter, just coated the pan with butter lightly and quickly. VOILA. it's like night and day, now everything is sliding around on the pan. so I'm happy - I can use very little butter and the food isn't sliding around. So I'm wondering if all these people who had problems were using oil as I was (and as the instructions say you can do.) If you're having problems with sticking, try butter instead and see if that works. original review below: i had tried out a few ceramic pans and returned them all. this is the KEEPER (so far - i've had it only for a few days but looking good!) why? well the thing is pans are measured by the TOP circumference of the pan, the part that fits the lid, which i think is colossally stupid. i tried out a few 12" pans, this one has a 9 3/4" - 10" ish cooking area (the bottom circle of the pan, the part you cook on.) the other ones i tried had like 9" or less on the bottom and the sides of the pan just jutted way out to reach the 12" - so the cooking part was so small and i couldn't fit much on the other ones. this has a good amount of cooking space and if HEFTY. unlike the other ones, you have to use oil, which i dont mind, oil is filling. u do cook on medium heat and things slide off effortlessly - not as slidy as the other ones ive tried, but i read in reviews the other ones stop being stick-free after a while. besides, too much slide can make the food hard to grasp. this has a great amount of food slide. i wish this came in cooler color but the grey is all right, better than black. cooking is actually fun bc i know i'm not going to have to scrub and clean much. i hate cleaning. i just made eggs with sausages and the pan ALREADY looks clean, and i didnt even clean it yet. the lid is high quality. this thing is just made of high quality materials, and my boyf and i love it. also our gas stove did not mess up the coloring on the bottom, like it did with other pans. LOVE THIS ONE, finally we found the keeper!!! i recommend wholeheartedly. Review: Will Last For Years if Treated Well - This is my fourth GreenPan and in my opinion they are excellent pans -- very durable for something with a "nonstick" coating. I just threw one out after four years of use three to four times a week, and have another that's been going for over three years. See below for my care recommendations. Note that I've put "nonstick" in quotes above. If you're looking for something TRULY nonstick, e.g. the kind of pan where an egg will slide out when fried without a drop of oil, your only choice is to buy cheap pans with a Teflon coating and throw them out after a very small number of cooking sessions. Those pans never last. Ceramic pans are a different breed of nonstick: They will not cook an egg entirely stick-free, but they are still much more "nonstick" than, say, stainless. On the flip side, their durability is 100x better than anything Teflon coated. Given the above, I treat these pans quite differently than I would a Teflon pan: I cook with a small amount of fat, and I expose the pans to high heat when applicable. They can take it. The biggest difference, though, is how I handle them when cleaning. The biggest issue with the nonstick coatings is that polymerized fats -- overheated, cooked-on oils -- will completely destroy the nonstick qualities. This means that if you want to maintain nonstick behaviors, you must keep the pans spotlessly clean. The good news is that thanks to the durability, these pans can handle significantly more robust cleaning than a Teflon coated pan. You should NOT baby these pans when cleaning them! I'm not suggesting breaking out a wire scrub brush, but you absolutely SHOULD use the abrasive side of a sponge. I also highly recommend scrubbing with baking soda once every several cooking sessions. Even when the pan looks clean, there is often a very thin layer of fat. The baking soda will strip it right off and revive the pan's nonstick quality. To do this I put a very small amount of water in the bottom of the pan, add enough baking soda to absorb most of it, and then scrub with a paper towel. You'll be shocked by how yellow the baking soda gets. Repeat until it comes out just as white as it went in. Should you burn something in the pan or otherwise need to remove something really stuck in there, baking soda is also a great choice. Add a larger amount of water to the pan, quite a bit of baking soda, and then boil over high heat until the baking soda dries out. Now scrub the dried soda out with a paper towel and the vast majority of whatever you've burned in there will come right off. Cleaning my pans in these ways with baking soda from time to time, and freely applying pressure with the abrasive side of the sponge on a regular basis, is what has allowed my pans to stay in service for many years. One final note: I see a lot of people mentioning that their food sticks "even when cooking at low heat" and that is in fact a huge part of the problem! Low heat gives proteins more time to bond with the surface of the pan. It only makes things worse. If you want to sear something, do it on high heat. Because once again, unlike a Teflon pan, these can handle it. Bottom line: Don't expect some miracle nonfat solution. Treat your pans properly but don't baby them, and make sure to keep them clean. These are great tools. Enjoy your cooking! --- Update, 2017-08-23 (18 months after initial purchase) My pan is still performing like a champ and I still highly recommend these. When it finally gets worn out I will definitely replace the one I purchased here with another identical model, but I think it will be a long time before that's required. Two of the three other pans I mentioned above are still in service! (The oldest one was claimed a while back by my four year old; but I suspect it would still work fine if I dug it out of his toy box.) A few people have mentioned in the comments section that some of the recommendations I made above differ from the manufacturer's suggestions -- especially my comment on using these pans over high heat. I can only say in that regard that this review is a description of my personal experiences with the product and what does and does not work for me. The manufacturer recommendations may have been made for any number of reasons; it's not clear what the intentions are there. And "high heat" is of course highly dependent upon equipment. It's possible that the recommendations represent a liability edge case and/or that my stove isn't as hot as whatever they tested on, or a number of other scenarios. In any case, I've had no problems whatsoever, but I thought I should address these concerns in the main review. Still very much a five star review; this is an excellent product.

Meanwhile, my new / replacement 8" & 10" pans have also been performing well for nearly three years. I also like the "I Love Meat & Poultry" pan, although neither of us cook meat. Our pans are all used to cook eggs and veggies, mostly in coconut oil, sometimes butter and (very rarely) olive oil. We both use baking soda to renew the cooking surface, occasionally, as needed. They've served us well on gas and electric stoves, hot plates and glass cooktops. LOVE these pans so much! We each recently bought the 12" pan with lid. We're GreenPan fans!!! **Q: Does the 12" Hard Anodized Covered Frypan come with a lid as suggested in the picture?** A: 2019.01.31 - 12" pan did not come with a lid (much to my annoyance. Looking for one now.) **Q: from the description it appears that this pan is 5 inches deep. can someone verify the depth? thanks** A: no it's not 5 inches deep it's more like 2.5 or so inches deep. if you want a deep pan you would need a 3 or 4 quart saute pan similar to one in link http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U1CQBMI/ref=twister_B00XVMO2QM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 . I probably shouldn't say this on Amazon.com because I am a loyal customer to them but a couple weeks after purchasing this pan I purchased a whole set of green pans with the deep fryer pan on QVC. linkhttp://www.qvc.com/GreenPan-10-Piece-Cookware-Set-with-Ceramic-Non-stick.product.K41657.html?refType=IOFFER&refNumber=K42000&sc=K41657-DTLR&cm_sp=UPSELL-_-IOFFER-_-3&relType=IOFFER&refLocation=3 **Q: Made in china** A: I don't know...but it's a good fry pan...don't takes lot less energy to make it hot..cleans up like breeze...go head buy it you won't be sorry ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UPDATED REVIEW-have much better luck with this pan while using butter, oil made food stick to this like crazy *by S***D on February 21, 2016* UPDATE to below: first i wrote that I loved this pan (see below.)

Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nonstick And Durable *by M***. on August 26, 2026* I've had this pan since 2021. It cooks food now as it did when I first unboxed it. Nothing sticks to this pan. Keep in mind what your cooking and the amount of heat and your good to go. Eggs for example... a lower burner setting, a pad of butter, crack some eggs in the pan and let them do their thing. Once the whites become firm, I can literally take the pan, tilt it slightly from side to side and the eggs slide right out onto the plate. This pan will also give whatever meat your cooking a nice tasty sear. I actually have two of these pans to supplement my other cookware. Really happy with this product. ## Frequently Bought Together - GreenPan Lima Ceramic Hard Anodized 12" Frying Pan Skillet with Lid, PFAS/PFOA-Free Nontoxic Pots and Pans, Oven & Broiler Safe, Stainless Steel Handle, Cookware for Eggs & Omelet, Gray - GreenPan Swift Healthy Ceramic Nonstick, 8" Frying Pan Skillet, Stainless Steel Handle, PFAS-Free, Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe, Black - GreenPan Lima Hard Anodized Healthy Ceramic Nonstick 12.5" Wok pan with Helper Handle, PFAS-Free, Oven Safe, Gray --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/5975524-lima-hard-anodized-12-frying-pan-skillet-with-lid-ceramic](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/5975524-lima-hard-anodized-12-frying-pan-skillet-with-lid-ceramic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
