GreenPan is back?

Is this the same Green Pan that Todd English sold on HSN?

Is Todays Special?

Green Pan has horrible reviews all over, I don't know if it was the same quality set as Todd English sold. Curious to know if anyone loves there set.

I've used Green Pans for years and love them. The trick is to NEVER use high heat for anything; otherwise things stick. Medium heat is best. And clean up is a breeze.

I don't know if this is the same as the sets I have seen at the store. But they seem a bit light weight and not too great. Anyone else have a personal experience with them and a review. Just wondering if they are any good????

Thanks in advance...

I purchased a set 2 years ago when they were on HSN...complete JUNK. After about 2 weeks, things started sticking, and pieces of the coating were flaking off. Threw them away. Dont waste your money!!

I have Lorena Garcia's ceramic cookware from HSN and also recently bought the two Sinply Ming pans (grill pan & open skillet). I love both of them. Have been using Lorena G's cookware for some months now and find it to be exceptional. I was skeptical about the white interior, but it has stayed perfectly white and not discolored. I have no experience with Greenpan, but wonder if it is the same as the others because of the bad reviews.

Stuff is made in China. I'll pass.

Give it up for 'Green Pan.'

Todd English can't control his drinking, so they just find another spokesperson and just keep moving on...

These are just as cheap as ALL the other Chinese-made pans that come out these days. It's truly sad.

Q had a pretty good thing going with Cook's Essentials about a decade ago. The stainless steel nonstick pieces I picked up back then had the really thick bottoms on them, and they held up better than most nonstick. A few pieces, I'm still using. They were really substantial, heavy, didn't burn easily, I wish I had some key pieces that they just don't make anymore.

All the new nonstick skillets I've been looking at to replace some that are gone are so thin, no heavy encapsulated bottoms anymore, just junk.

Wouldn't waste my money on these. I bought one trial frying pan from HSN and it's horrible. It sticks and the coating came off. So happy I didn't go for an entire set.

If you want good ceramic cookware try Scanpan. Made in Denmark and excellent quality. A little pricey but worth every penny.

Didn't Todd go to the Kathy Levine channel?

My kitchen is nearly all Green Pan - it is the same brand that Todd English sold on HSN - and I love it. I have had it for years and it has never scratched, works and looks as good as new and is easy to clean up. I don't cook much on high, mostly on medium so that may be a factor. I put everything in the dishwasher (with a rinse first) and it comes out great. My sister also has a kitchen full of it and she loves it, too. I do have some of Lorena Garcia's ceramic bakeware and I love that, too. I am no gourmet cook and usually only cook for two, so maybe it takes more wear and tear cooking for a family, but my experience is all positive.

My Dad got me a Green pan one Christmas, 3 years ago or so. I read the directions, did the seasoning thing, where you put oil in it and heat it up or some such, tried to cook an egg. I cook eggs on a rather low temp. It stuck completely. Brand new, and an egg wouldn't slide on it at all. I thought, ok, I did something wrong, reread the directions, and tried again. Nope. It went in the trash. I wouldn't even give it to Goodwill.

Total JUNK!

Re: GreenPan is back?

This was on the customer questions page regarding the Green Pan TSV. The question was, 'Where are these pans imported from?' The answer was from customer service. So, it's a mystery where they come from!

Answered 55 minutes ago

QVC is not the manufacturer of many of the products we sell, and we often don't have first-hand knowledge of where they are made. Also, many of our vendors have manufacturing locations in several countries.

I agree. I think in this case you ""get what you pay for"" and 11 pieces for $139 screams junk to me.

There's lots of Cooks Essentials cookware offered still! CE is a really good brand, I've been happy with my purchases. QVC stands behind the pieces as well- I've had to exchange a couple pieces in the past and it was handled great!
