GreenPan Rio 12 Inch Ceramic Nonstick Fry Pan

The Bakelite handle caps oven use at 350°F — below the range needed for most oven finishing. The Thermolon coating itself handles up to 850°F, so this limit is entirely a handle choice.

GreenPan doesn't publish the coating layer count for the Rio line. More layers generally mean longer coating life — this data gap makes it impossible to assess durability.

Aluminum is not ferromagnetic, so this pan does not work on induction cooktops. Gas and electric only.

At 2.16 lbs, this is one of the lightest nonstick pans available. Easy to lift, pour, and maneuver — especially useful for one-handed egg flipping.

Stay-cool Bakelite handle means no oven mitt needed during stovetop cooking. Trade-off: oven use is capped at 350°F.

Listed as dishwasher-safe, but experts consistently recommend hand-washing all nonstick pans to preserve the coating. Dishwasher detergents and high heat shorten ceramic coating life.

Limited lifetime warranty covers coating defects (bubbling, flaking) — strong backing for an entry-level pan.
