I’m in love – no, nothing to do with Valentine’s Day being just around the corner, I’m in love with my Green Pan Padova pan. Yes really.
I never thought I could be so excited about a pan, but this one is simply beautiful. In gorgeous sky blue, which contrasts perfectly with the pale grey ceramic cooking surface, and gold (yes gold) handle, I’ve never felt such a strong urge to head for the kitchen and cook something.
But the Green Pan Padova frying pan isn’t just a pretty face. As a doctor, I do worry about unpleasant chemicals which can lurk, even when we try to cook healthily, and some PFAS (‘non-stick’) pan coatings may be a concern. In contrast, Green Pan use ThermalonTM, a non-plastic coating which is derived from sand.
The thick, forged base, which like the rest of the pan, is made of high-quality reinforced aluminium, heats up quickly and stays perfectly flat, working on all stovetops, including induction. The handle is stainless steel with a matt protective coating and the cooking surface is ceramic. The whole pan feels so balanced to hold, not too heavy, and certainly not flimsy either.
Frankly this is a high-quality pan which looks gorgeous, and with Mother’s Day just around the corner, it would definitely put a smile on any Mum’s face.
Available as individual pans (starting from £45 for a 20cm Fry Pan) to sets with various sizes (£95 for a 2-piece Fry Pan Set or £310 for a 6-piece set) these are a great price for such a quality range. Available from the Green Pan website. Do take a look, you’ll be blown away too.
