Great pot for heat conduction and easy clean-up.

Replacing all my teflon coated All Clad pans with GreenPans. I was a bit apprehensive about these stock pans, but I made a large batch of soup the other night, and all worked out great! No sticking at the bottom and equal heating and clean up was a breeze! I bought these stock pots through Amazon because GreenPans did not list them on their site.

I purchased a full set of GreenPan Valencia Pro cookware a year ago, some individual items and a large set. The large set arrived in a box packed intricately, and I found only a couple insignificant chips to the coating from transit. After using the cookware for a year, I would say I’m mostly satisfied. Its nonstick characteristics are holding up well, and it doesn’t seem to suffer from regular dishwasher cleanings using Cascade Platinum. Often the pan can be sprayed with water, wiped dry and stored without any detergent. The bottoms are slightly prone to minor rust if they stay wet, but that hasn’t been a problem for me. The nonstick is very good, and I’m hoping the chemically inert properties are accurately represented as ditching Teflon-coated cookware was the paramount reason for buying these. The exterior coating is also very durable. The thickness of the pans is just enough to be satisfactory. Their light weight and durability allow me to use them when car camping.I find the slightly concave bottoms are not ideal for a solid surface cooktop since there is reduced heat transfer, but it isn’t a showstopper. On an induction stove, it seems as though the ferrous portion doesn’t quite fully span the bottom on some pans so they don’t heat as fully or evenly as they might otherwise. The most satisfactory heat source for these pans is a gas flame. The rough texture on the bottoms is helpful preventing the pans slipping around on tabletop canister stoves, which I appreciate.Another issue is with the lids. They let steam/condensation escape through the seam between the glass and the stainless-steel surround rim which causes water to pool on the lid and eventually dribble onto whatever cooktop you are using even when just simmering. You learn to lift the lid above the pan so it can drip all this water into the pan. And the handles get very hot fairly quickly, so you have to use a hot pad.Overall, I’m happy with this GreenPan Valencia Pro cookware and for the money, I’d buy it again and recommend it.

I really love this pot. It’s a bit expensive but I wish I would have bought it sooner. I love green pan anything but this Valencia pro takes it up a notch and does such a great job when I’m making chili or stuffed cabbage or soup or anything. Nothing burns and super easy clean up. Love it!!

Replaced a traditional nonstick. Works better and is healthier. Best of both worlds.

The best cookware I've ever owned. with one exception. The handles get too hot to handle with bear hands.

It works really well! It is large enough for stews and small enough to move easily.

Prefect size no sticking and easy clean up. i do not put it in the dishwasher.
