GreenPan Valencia Pro 8" Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, Hard Anodized

The eight-inch, scratch-resistant frying pan is intended for single-serving meals. The size of the pan makes it useful for cooking eggs, toasting nuts, melting cheese, or reheating meals. It is designed to allow you to cook without excess oil. I found the pan to warm-up quickly and distribute heat evenly. Clean-up is easy. Food slides out of the light-weight pan which is dish-washer safe. The pan can go in the oven or broiler up to 600 degrees. Maybe its strongest benefit is that the utensil is non-toxic and doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into food. The pan is suitable for all stovetops, including induction. Although the pan is durable and scratch-resistant, to extend the pan’s life, it’s recommended that wooden or silicone utensils be used.

This pan is fantastic, I love it! Some of the pricier brands had been calling me, but I am not at all disappointed with this pan. After it arrived, I washed it dried it and immediately cooked some eggs. It performed exactly as advertised and I have used it several times since then all to great satisfaction. It is such a handy size and I’m sure I will get so much use from this wonderful little pan. Don’t hesitate to buy it. I don’t think you would ever be disappointed in this. It’s not an inexpensive piece of cookware, but it is one that you will use over and over and each time say to yourself. I’m so glad I bought this.

My favorite non-stick pans used to be hard-anodized, like Circulon. I still like them. The new Hexpans are nice -- but not really nonstick. Hexpan is best thought of as a really great stainless steel pan, which can be used with high heat for browning and do not require gentle treatment. My past experience with ceramics has been mixed -- great at first, but too easy to "ruin" by sautéing at higher heat. GreenPan is a step up. The non-stick surface is the best. Treat it right, and you will love this pan forever. Food slips around effortlessly. Surface is strong and not easily scratched, but it's still a good idea to use non-metal utensils. Best used as an egg pan. But... Don't cook proteins on high heat. That will eventually ruin any non-stick surface, with invisible build-up on the non-stick surface. You have been warned!

I've had this pan for exactly a year. For the first few months it was terrific. But it no longer remains non-stick regardless of how much oil is put in the pan. I can understand why the independent reviews rate the pan highly since it's initially great. I'm now looking for a new non-stick pan. I wanted to like this pan but I can't recommend it. It's going in the trash can.

I am extremely pleased with this pan. I have been looking for months for cookware that’s safe, good and will last but that doesn’t cost hundreds/thousands of dollars. GreenPan kept coming up in my research as a contender so I decided to try. Originally I purchased a GreenPan frying pan from Walmart for $40; however, it turned out to be a waste of money. It worked great the first time I used it but food started sticking after the first use. I decided to try the more expensive GreenPan frying pan which lead me to this one. The Valencia Pro is the best. It’s heavy, holds heat and cooks evenly. It can also be used in the oven. I have used it every day and it is amazing…nothing sticks so it makes clean-up a breeze. I’m going to use it a while longer just to test it a little more but if it continues to be as good as it is now I will definitely be buying more GreenPan cookware. But my advise…don’t waste your money on the cheaper versions of GreenPan…spend a little more and get the Valencia Pro…it’s well worth the extra cost.

I purchased the 8” pan after dealing with ceramic pans that fail in 3 months despite proper care and low heat. I can say this pan is still going strong after a year of use. It may be starting to become less non-stick, but still very acceptable. Works well with my induction cooktop. No issues there. Solid pan and worth the money.

This was my first GreenPan purchase. I use the pan multiple times per week. Overall, I am very happy with the pan, and it is holding up well. I heat very slowly, as recommended, and some may consider this annoying, but I am happy to avoid pans with Teflon coatings. I will say that a very light coating of fat is all that I use, less than would be the case in a stainless steel or cast iron pan. I'll add that for some reason extra virgin olive oil does not work well with eggs in this pan. Still trying to figure out that one. No similar issues with butter, goose fat, duck fat, lard, or beef tallow. I subsequently bought the 10" and 12" pans directly from GreenPan while they were running a sale. Although it is not a major issue with the 8" pan, I'll just add that if you decide to buy a larger one, either in addition to or as an alternative to this pan, then it seems that the center on these larger pans is crowned sufficiently that any cooking fat flows to the outer edge of the cooking surface. This is a bit annoying if you are trying to keep the amount of fat to a minimum. Overall, I am glad I bought this pan, and the other larger pans as well. They clean very easily. They perform well, and I own multiple AllClad pans of similar sizes.

Perfect size for a replacement egg pan. Needed to replace an aging no name brand ceramic egg pan that was starting to stick. This one is perfect and by the looks of it will last a long time.

Great pan. Robust. Non stick works well and the pan works well on my induction cooktop. It’s easy to use and clean. Have purchased a couple of these now.

Big scratch before open it

Estou satisfeita. Só tenho pena de terem preços altos, caso contrário adquiria muitas mais.

really great, i don’t use oil for eggs anymore
