PFAS score
GreenPan · Crepe Pans
GreenPan Reserve Pro Crepe Frypan
Lower-concern option; ceramic coating avoids confirmed PFAS, but proprietary formula lacks third-party verification.
GreenPan Reserve Pro uses Thermolon, a ceramic-based nonstick coating the brand claims is Teflon-type coating- and PFOA-free. Unlike traditional Teflon-type coating nonsticks, ceramic coatings are not known to contain legacy PFAS compounds.
Brand says: “GreenPan explicitly markets Thermolon as PFOA-free and PTFE-free nonstick coating”
