Recently, I was asked to review the Ozeri, 12″ Green Earth Smooth Ceramic, non-stick frying pan. The idea of creating a post on kitchen appliances excited me because I love to cook! Since my family is vegetarian, I’m always on the lookout for nonstick pans to make fresh, vegetable curries to complement rice or rotis.
Ozeri green pans are made with a coating called Greblon – a ceramic based coating which is free of PFOA and PTFE coating. According to several studies, both perfluorooctanoic acid and polytetrafluoroethylene have health concerns and not considered environmentally safe. Ozeri’s Greblon coating doesn’t release harmful fumes or toxins, even while at high temperatures.
Apart from my most favorite safety feature of this product, I like the fact that the pan is easy to handle, not too heavy, oven safe for up to 480F, and functional on my induction stove! And I also happen to love the color green!
I made Aloo Gobi last night – a curry made with cauliflower and potatoes – on my brand new Ozeri green pan. Just knowing that doesn’t release harmful fumes made me relieved; other than that, however, I did not see a lot of differences. All non-stick pans typically loose their coating when used heavily, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the same happens. I periodically clean all of my non-stick pans with lemon juice or vinegar to help maintain the non-stick property. Overall, I do like this pan.. and I look forward to cooking a lot more with it!
This is a really great pan! I really wish I could find one for myself! No stick is perfect!
Great review. I need a new set of kitchen pans and I love the green… off to check them out.
I love the shad of green on these pans and they look sturdy too. Perfect for the kitchen display cabinet.
I have this pan and now, after 6 months, I still love it as much as I did the first day! They are durable and cook (and clean) so easily! I won’t use anything else!
I love this pan, I think it’s my favorite out of the set of 3.
Whoa! Awesome. I need this in my kitchen!
I have one and love it!
I think my favorite feature is that it is oven safe. Great review.
LOVE how bright and happy that pan looks! Almost makes me want to cook. Wish I could taste your Aloo Gobi. Sounds delicious!
I cook almost everything in a pan:)
I have been thinking about trying one of these. Thanks for your input!
Very nice review Vidya. I got a new idea of cleaning with lemon juice from this review. Thanks. Keep up your good work.
