About this product
The GreenPan Valencia Pro 11-Piece Cookware Set offers a comprehensive collection of cooking essentials for discerning home cooks. This set includes a range of pans – a 20cm, 24cm and 28cm frying pan, alongside saucepans with lids in capacities of 1.8L and 2.8L, a 4.7L stock pot with lid, and a 2.8L sauté pan with lid. It’s accompanied by three pan protectors to aid in organised storage.
At the heart of this cookware is cutting-edge ceramic nonstick technology, infused with diamonds for exceptional durability and balanced heating. The hard anodised aluminium bodies are incredibly tough and scratch resistant, designed to withstand daily use. These pans are magneto induction compatible, allowing them to perform on all hob types including induction cooktops. The glass lids provide an easy way to monitor your cooking, and the set is oven safe up to 220°C.
The GreenPan Valencia Pro has been recognised for its performance, having secured awards from America’s Test Kitchen and Good Housekeeping. This set features a toxin-free ceramic nonstick coating, free of PFAS, PFOA, lead or cadmium. It's constructed with a DuoForged hard anodised process, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Please note that while the ceramic non-stick coating is designed for lasting performance, it may degrade over time with frequent use and high temperatures, potentially affecting its non-stick properties faster than traditional PTFE coatings. The set includes 11 pieces and comes in a grey finish.
