Question 1

What is in this coating? Any related Teflon related chemicals indirectly. I have parrots which can be easily killed by any type of Teflon from related products.

I emailed Ozeri asking if their Greblon coated Earth Stone pans were PTFE free & this was their response:Dear Erin,Thank you for contacting us regarding the Ozeri Frying Pans. We are more than happy to assist you at this time. Unfortunately, this specific pan is not PTFE free. However, we do ensure that the pans are safe and won't run the risk of harming the customer.Pyrolysis of PTFE is detectable at 200 °C (392 °F), and it evolves several fluorocarbon gases and a sublimate. An animal study conducted in 1955 concluded that it is unlikely that these products would be generated in amounts significant to health at temperatures below 250 °C (482 °F).While PTFE is stable and nontoxic at lower temperatures, it begins to deteriorate after the temperature of cookware reaches about 260 °C (500 °F), and decomposes above 350 °C (662 °F). The degradation by-products can be lethal to birds, and can cause flu-like symptoms in humans—see polymer fume fever.Meat is usually fried between 204 and 232 °C (399 and 450 °F), and most oils start to smoke before a temperature of 260 °C (500 °F) is reached, but there are at least two cooking oils (refined safflower oil at 265 °C (510 °F) and avocado oil at 271 °C (520 °F)) that have a higher smoke point.Our pans are designed to be used with low to medium-high heat and never exceed a certain temperature setting. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.Thank you and have a wonderful day!Regards,Chris WOzeri Customer Service

Question 2

Has anyone used more than the recommended amount of oil or butter in the pan? Any problems? I like to fry my eggs in healthy grass fed butter.

Accepted Answer

Hi, I do too. The pan gets hot quickly so the only problem I can see would be from overheating the butter. Just keep temp down enough to cook. You don't want to turn your good grass fed butter into a trans-fat from over heating it. I make eggs everyday in my pan.

Question 3

Can this go in the dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

According to the instructions that came with the pan, no. I never put my pans in the dishwasher anyway, so this wasn't a deal breaker.

Question 4

Does anyone know what is the difference in this pan vs ceramic?

Accepted Answer

Don't really know - guess I've never had a ceramic pan! I do like this "stone" pan a lot.   You don't ever put it on high heat but after it is heated it holds the heat.  We fix great steaks in it, brown & cook chicken cutlets wit breading, etc. but also can sauté vegetables beautifully. It is a bit heavy for me sometimes but I wish I had a slightly larger one - although this will cook 2 rib eyes at once.  Why don't you try it?
