Does That Green Frying Pan on TV Really Work?

By Julie

We tend to go through more frying pans in this house than any other cooking vessel. I was searching for a new (cheap) one late last year when I happened to get an Orgreenic ceramic 10" pan in the family gift swap at Christmas. Yes, the made for TV pan that claims nothing sticks to it. I had my doubts, but hey, free pan. Why not put it to the test?

Well, color me surprised. It works.

Perhaps it is not so slippery as the commercial demonstrates – my eggs do not swirl effortlessly around the pan sans oil – but just about everything I’ve cooked in it lifts or pushes off the surface with a little encouragement from a spatula.  And I would suggest a drop or two of oil or a squirt of non-stick spray just to make sure that remains the case. It cleans like a dream, and after nearly four months of use, it still looks like new.

I’m so happy with my pan that I really hope I can get my hands on more ceramic cookware soon. The sauté pan can be found just about anywhere – I’ve seen it in Walmart and even Walgreens. Get you one.

Thank you for trying it! I saw this infomercial for the first time the other day and I was so curious!

YES! One of our local television stations had this on their "Deal or Dud" segment; it was pronounced a deal!

this pan is NO different from any other pan!!!!! i seasoned the pan like it said to do and all. and everything still stuck to it. so now i have just another frying.

This pan is not worth the mony we paid
for it !!!! After one month I threw it
away sticking like the others!!!

I don't have one but I have found that most people use too high of setting to fry eggs and a lot of other things--I say turn the heat down some for better results, you cannot rush cooking and expect great results.

This is another media hype push onto innocent consumers. This pan STINKS! Everything sticks! Coating it with oil, butter, nothing, whatever, nothing prevents the food from sticking. It's money wasted to purchase one of these.

here is how they faked the "rock test".. the "rock" is actually a mineral called talc, it almost 3 times weaker than your finger nail..

Yes, this pan works exactly like they show on tv for about 2 months. Then it sticks just like all the other pans stick in time. Very frustrating! I called the Orgreenic website and was informed that it's only guaranteed for 60 days. However, if I would ship it back to them (Postage paid by me) and send along a $7.00 money order to cover shipping back to me, then they would send me another pan. Same pan which I now know sticks! I might be stupid once, but not going there again! Very disappointed.
