For many households, the convenience of eating out has become a regular routine. Yet behind every quick meal lurk hidden risks—ranging from excessive sodium and unhealthy fats to unknown additives and questionable oil quality. As health awareness grows, more people are seeking safer, more wholesome ways to nourish their families.
There are clear advantages to cooking at home: you control your ingredients, portion sizes, and preparation methods. Health authorities worldwide recommend cooking at home at least three times a week to lower risks associated with processed and restaurant foods. However, few realise that the safety of their home-cooked meals also depends on the cookware itself.
The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Non-Stick Pans
Conventional non-stick pans have long been a staple in modern kitchens, prized for their convenience and easy clean-up. However, many of these pans rely on chemicals known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)—sometimes called “forever chemicals”—which have raised global concern. Studies suggest that PFAS exposure may be linked to health issues such as hormone disruption, certain cancers, and environmental harm, especially when pans are scratched, overheated, or disposed of improperly.
GreenPan’s Thermolon™ 9G: The Exceptional Choice for Health-Conscious Cooks
The launch event of GreenPan’s Thermolon™ 9G
Recognising the demand for safer, high-performing cookware, GreenPan has introduced Thermolon™ 9G, its most advanced ceramic non-stick coating to date. Unlike traditional coatings, Thermolon™ 9G is entirely PFAS-free and crafted from sand-derived materials, reinforced with diamond particles for superior durability and heat performance.
What sets Thermolon™ 9G apart is its exceptional safety profile. The coating is not only free from PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium, but it also meets the strictest global food contact standards—including FDA, EU, and German LFGB certification. It remains the only ceramic non-stick coating with NSF/ANSI 51 certification, a mark requiring rigorous toxicology tests and facility audits.
Why It’s Worth Investing in Quality
While some may view premium cookware as a luxury, the long-term benefits to health and peace of mind are clear. GreenPan’s Thermolon™ 9G is designed not to leach chemicals into food, even when preparing acidic dishes like tomato sauces or curries. Its robust construction ensures a lifespan ten times longer than early non-stick pans, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

With proper care and usage, it can last up to five to ten years.”

Supporting Healthy Lifestyles
Cooking at home with safe, high-quality cookware is a simple yet powerful step toward healthier living. With GreenPan’s innovation, families can enjoy the convenience of non-stick performance without worrying about harmful exposures. “We encourage everyone to cook at home more often. Not only do you control what goes into your food, but using a safe, high-quality pan can help reduce health risks linked to processed and fast food,” says Yeap.
Indeed, prioritising home-cooked meals—even just three days a week—can significantly benefit your health. Pairing this habit with reliable, certified PFAS-free cookware such as GreenPan’s Thermolon™ 9G empowers you to make every meal safer for your loved ones. When it comes to wellness, what’s in your pan is just as important as what’s on your plate.
