I had been fed up with some time of seeing little black things in the food I cooked - despite using wooden utensils etc. I took the plunge of buying these after using greenpan on holiday in Dec 2019. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to buy these! These are super and fabulously non-stick. AND they are non toxic - super important to me now that we have a little one. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone to buy these - your health is worth the slight expense. Go on DO IT!
