The 2024 GreenPan Gift Guide: 7 Gifts for the Home Chefs on Your List
The GreenPan Gift Guide of 2024 is here with our 7 OA Approved picks to help you become a gifting hero this holiday season.
Get ready for the upcoming holiday season with GreenPan, the OG in the ceramic nonstick world. There’s something for everyone on this list, including you!
Why We Trust GreenPan For The Best Non-Toxic Kitchen Gifts
In case you didn’t know, GreenPan was the first to invent ceramic nonstick cookware back in 2007. Then they raised the bar by becoming the first company to sell PFAS-free cookware. You could say they’re trailblazers in the industry.
We’ve been testing their cookware for over a decade, and their never-ending innovation in non-toxic, nonstick cookware is nothing short of stunning. In fact, they’ve made the top of our list year after year in one of our most popular guides: The Best Clean, Non-Toxic Cookware on the market. And if you’re looking to make your kitchen life easier, have a peek at our 2024 non-toxic small appliance guide, here.
Avoiding Toxic Forever Chemicals with GreenPan
GreenPan’s unique Thermolon™ ceramic cookware sets the industry standard for durability without sacrificing exceptional performance. More importantly, unlike PTFE, it won’t release toxic fumes when overheated. With GreenPan, you can trust that there are never any synthetic PFAS chemicals in their products. Conventional PTFE nonstick cookware is full of these famous “forever chemicals,” polluting our environment and damaging our health.
Toxic per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are in everything from our water to our rain jackets, and it’s a serious cause for concern. But don’t take our word for it — EWG senior scientist Tash Stoiber, Ph.D., put it best:
“Scientific research has uncovered numerous harmful effects of PFAS on our bodies and well-being, including suppression of the immune system and an increased risk of cancer.”
With all these negative effects, why risk it with traditional nonstick cookware? Treat yourself (and everyone else on your nice list!) to these non-toxic GreenPan products this year.
The GreenPan Gift Guide: Kitchen Gift Ideas for Every Chef on Your List (Novice to MasterChef!)
1. For the Generational Chef: Bobby Flay by GreenPan 10’’ and 12’’ Cast Iron Frypan Set
There are a lot of reasons to love cast iron cookware — they’re non-toxic, offer unbeatable heat retention, and are super durable (seriously, we mean durable enough to pass on to your grandchildren). This 10’’ and 12’’ cast iron frypan set also has the added benefit of being Chef Bobby Flay’s go-to pans, so you can pass that lore on to your grandkids, too.
This cast iron comes pre-seasoned and is designed to get better with use, which means you should take every opportunity to sear, brown, sauté, grill, braise, and more in these babies. Versatility is the name of the game here — and they work on all stovetops (including induction!). For the chef who’s extra tough on their pans but still wants cookware that lasts a lifetime, look no further.

2. For the Innovative Chef: Valencia Pro Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set
With the reliability of stainless steel and the ease of nonstick, this 10-piece cookware set is your new go-to. The Infinite8 Ceramic Nonstick is GreenPan’s most cutting-edge ceramic nonstick yet, and it’s got the awards to prove it.

One of the many features that make these pots and pans some of our all-time favorites is the unique curved handle. Its v-shape minimizes heat transfer (bye bye burns) and the curve rests perfectly in your palms to optimize control and moveability. It’s a stand-out feature for our editor-in-chief, Laura Klein, and it’s one of the reasons why these pots and pans always make the list for the best ceramic nonstick cookware on the market.
This set is oven-safe, dishwasher-safe, and metal utensil-safe (which we L-O-V-E), plus it comes with tempered glass lids. The three-ply stainless offers extra durability and plenty of opportunity for the perfect sear.

Not only did one of our testers, chef and mom of two Lauren Lobley love it, but her kids did too.

There are even 10 pre-sets on it for different types of grains, so you can make easy quinoa and black bean bowls or have steel cut oats at the press of a button. And true to its name, there’s a setting for low-carb rice, too.
