GreenPan Advanced Electric Griddle with Warming Drawer
Skip until coating transparency improves, vague claims and no PFAS assurance on non-stick cookware warrant caution.
GreenPan's Thermolon coating is marketed as 'mineral-based' but the brand does not publicly disclose PFAS content or undergo third-party PFAS testing. While some independent tests suggest lower fluorine than legacy Teflon-type coating, GreenPan has not committed to PFAS-free certification.
Brand says: “GreenPan markets 'Thermolon' proprietary non-stick coating as derived from minerals and sand, but provides no PFAS-specific disclosure”

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
