GreenPan Lima 11 Square Griddle Pan - Ceramic Nonstick Breakfast

Our review of the GreenPan Lima 11 Square Griddle Pan finds it best suited to people who cook breakfast, family meals, or batch brunches and want a roomy, health-conscious nonstick surface. The single biggest reason to buy is its Thermolon ceramic nonstick coating that is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium, offering peace of mind when cooking at moderately high temperatures while also making cleanup easier for everyday use.

Key Features

• Healthy ceramic nonstick: Thermolon coating is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium so it will not emit toxic fumes if accidentally overheated and provides a slick cooking surface.
• Hard anodized body: The tough aluminum construction resists scratches and keeps the pan lightweight for convenient handling during frequent use.
• Generous 11 square surface: The wide flat area is well suited for pancakes, bacon, eggs and omelets, allowing multiple items to cook at once.
• Oven and broiler safe to 600F: After stovetop searing, the pan can go into the oven or under the broiler for finishing or reheating without worry.
• Riveted stainless steel handle: A contoured handle offers a comfortable, secure grip and stays stable when flipping or transferring the pan.
• Easy to maintain: Designed for hand wash only, the coating and finish clean up quickly when wiped or rinsed after cooling.

Who It's For

The Lima griddle is a strong fit for home cooks who prioritize a healthier nonstick option for frequent breakfast cooking and simple skillet tasks; it excels at pancakes, eggs and bacon where a broad flat surface and easy release matter. It also suits people who need a lightweight pan with solid heat distribution and want the flexibility to finish dishes in the oven up to 600F.

It may be less appropriate for users who rely on induction cooktops, since this pan is not suitable for induction, or for those who prefer dishwasher-safe cookware, because GreenPan specifies hand wash only. Serious high-heat searing fans should also be aware that ceramic nonstick performance can vary with aggressive metal tools or prolonged ultra-high heat.
