I've heard people talk about the green pan but never took the leap to try them myself. So when I finally had the chance, I jumped on it and it was worth it. I've never been happier! They are safe to use with birds in your home! They are the best non-stick pans I've ever used and the clean up takes seconds. It still floors me. Even butter doesn't stay behind. It literally washes away in the blink of an eye. The best quality pans on the market and this 16 piece set is just devine. If you have been on the fence, jump off it and get them!
