Product Description
Size: 10-Inch
Utilizing natural ceramic as a coating, the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is one of the world's first frying pans to achieve non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of PTFE, PFOA and other harmful chemicals. Conventional non-stick cookware is achieved through a coating of PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), a synthetic substance that has waxy properties. At very high temperatures, PTFE begins to decompose and release fumes which are documented to be lethal to birds and small pets, and which can be harmful to humans. In addition, traditional pans incorporating PTFE are manufactured with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), which the EPA has classified as a 'persistent pollutant of the environment'. With the Green Earth Pan's ecozeri technology, even under high temperatures, no harmful toxic fumes are ever released into the environment. This is because the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri utilizes a 100% ceramic coating derived from nature - not from a laboratory. The Green Earth Pan's ceramic coating is completely free of PTFE and PFOA. In addition to being completely ultra-safe, the Green Earth Pan's natural ceramic coating is far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. With better non-stick properties, the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri allows you to cook with as little as half the amount of oil normally used, and it makes cleaning a breeze. The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is made of the highest quality anodized aluminum that allows for even cooking and fantastic browning without the risk of hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a heat resistant Bakelight handle. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

FALSE 5 star reviews. Be careful when you buy this. The pan works well, but only for a while. Soon after it becomes useless.

My wife bought this thing at Sears for me as a present. She spent around $80 on it. For that amount of money I expected a great pan, but that is not what I got. For a while this pan did what it was supposed to and I was really impressed. After just weeks of heavy use the pan is worthless! To make matters worse, a lot of the 5 star reviews for it on Amazon (even the ones tagged helpful) are fake! These people mysteriously only reviewed this pan or other Ozeri products. More on that later.
Let me explain my experiences with this a bit. I do a lot of weight lifting and thus eat 4 poached eggs a day on the days that I work out. I alternate lower and upper body, and take Saturday and Sunday off. This means that I use this pan at least ten times per week. My wife would also use it a few times/week for quick meals. So no, it is not what an average person would use it for but the end result will still be the same.
The pan lasted a little over two weeks for me. I am very careful not to raise the temperature above medium heat and only use a silicone spatula while cooking. Moreover, my last ceramic pan lasted almost a year, and it was much cheaper! I did not change up my cooking methods at all. The fault lies with the coating, which started to warp and eventually chip. I guess silicone is too rough for it. Or maybe it was the poaching process (that was a joke, you just add water). I ended up returning it to Sears after only 20 days and got a full refund. The sales lady said that she tried this pan and had a similar experience after 4 months of use.
This pan is pretty good looking. It is very pleasing to the eye and looks well built, but that is not what a pan is designed for. A pan is meant for cooking. If you want something that looks good in your kitchen, by all means go for it. If you want a non-stick pan that will last you a while, get something else. I am going back to Vinaroz, since their products are cheaper and actually last. Cuisinart is another good alternative because of their lifetime warranty. I simply prefer Vinaroz because they are cheap and I can toss them out after a year, instead of dealing with Cuisinart for a replacement. As another option you could simply get a stainless steel pan and have that last you a lifetime, but those are not non-stick.
Now let's move on to another problem. The top "helpful" reviews are posted by people that mostly review Ozeri products, or only have one review under their belt (the one for this pan). It's also odd that they are all 5 star reviews. Simply take a look at the top reviews for this pan and check out the reviewer. I am surprised Amazon doesn't do anything about these people.
In my opinion, this pan is worthless. If I could rate it a 0, I would. I am glad that someone makes non-stick PTFE and PFOA free cookware, but there are cheaper and better alternatives out there. Don't be fooled by the hype and all the 5 star reviews. Most of those are not real.
I really hope you, the potential buyer take the time to read all reviews for this product before you purchase it, and stumble upon mine. This kind of shady marketing is despicable and should not be rewarded with your hard earned cash.
Thank you for your time, and good luck.

I loved this pan. I had seen infomercials for a similar ceramic pan and wanted to try it but the reviews for that pan indicated all sorts of shenanigans in the ordering process for that product. Naturally I came to Amazon to look for a comparable product. It is a heavy duty pan. It has an induction friendly base so that you can cook on an induction cooktop. Best of all it's ceramic coating performs as advertised. It is simply the best non-stick pan I have ever owned.
Update: Joy turns to sadness and I'm left wondering why. After several months of happy use, the outstanding non-stick performance suddenly ceased. I have always hand-washed the pan and it NEVER saw the inside of the dishwasher. It was extremely sad to see my favorite pan of all time go bad for no apparent reason! The surface looks fine. I tried to "condition" the pan with oil and heat to no avail. I will be looking for another ECO product that lasts. I guess we'll always have Paris...

I am a classically trained and currently employed sous chef working at a large hotel in down town Seattle.
I deal with pots and pans and kitchen equipment every day, all day. I was looking for a nice "non stick" pan to do light duty at my aspartment. I use cast iron pans for the majority of my domestic cooking, but I really like to stir fry noodles and wanted a pan that would be safe (teflon is no good!!!) and quick to heat and clean. After hours of scouring the internet to find "just the right pan" I settled on this one. Out of the box It looks great and has a pretty decent heft and balance to it. The problem is food sticks to the pan, I mean big time sticking. I could not even flip my noodles in the pan because it sticks. I rarely write reviews, but I always read them before making an internet purchase. I was compeled to today because I have had it. This afternoon I took out my pan, cleaned it in warm water and soap and wiped it clean with a paper towel. I slid my fingers along the inside of the pan and was pleased to encounter a smooth and appealing surface. I heated my pan on medium heat (manufacturer recomends this) I placed a small amount of olive oil in the pan( manufactuter recomends this), I broke open two eggs and planed to eat two eggs sunny side up with a nice flat iron steak((already cooked under the broiler). I slid in my eggs and heard a nice sizzle, yum, I love crispy, gooey eggs, waited about thirty seconds and then becan to manipulate the eggs in the pane...........not gonna happen, they stuck so bad, I had to make scrambled eggs. I removed my disapointing eggs from the pan and was shocked at what was left in, a full 3 to 5 percent of my eggs were stuck completly to the inside surface of the pan. I thought this was supposed to be a non stick pan. My only other course to follow next time would be to spray the pan with vegeline(pan spray) and then try to fry me up some eggs that way. Bottom line I would not buy this pan again and would not give it as a gift, me being a chef and gifting this item would in my opinion lower my credability as a culinarian.
Peace and hair grease!!!
