The Green Ceramic Pan Set by Ozeri includes an 8", 10" and 12" frying pan that each offers a non-stick solution while remaining free of PTFE, perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) such as PFBS, PFAS, PFOS and PFOA, APEO, GenX, and the lesser known chemicals NMP and NEP. Conventional pans sometimes achieve their non-stick performance through a waxy synthetic coating of PTFE, which under extreme temperatures begins to decompose and release fumes that can be harmful to humans and pets. Additionally, PTFE is often manufactured with the aid of PFOA and other perfluorinated chemicals, potential carcinogens which the EPA has classified as a 'persistent pollutant of the environment,’ and APEO, which are under restricted use in Germany due to concerns about their poor biodegradability and toxicity. The Green Ceramic Pan's ceramic coating from Weilburger, Germany never releases harmful toxins. The coating is applied using a water-based Sol Gel Technique which is also free of the lesser known chemicals NMP and NEP. The Green Ceramic Pan is made of die-cast aluminum and boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a honeycomb ceramic cooking surface for optimized heat distribution. Coating made by Weilburger GmbH, Germany. Assembled in China.
