Updated May 2012 I wrote the first review in January. After using these pans daily since we received them, I have to say they're still terrific. I know some of the reviews report that the non-stick coating doesn't last, but we haven't had any issues with them. I don't wash the pans. I do wipe them out with a dish towel as soon as I remove food from them, when they're still warm. I keep them seasoned with a small amount of coconut oil. Occasionally, residue builds up on the side of one of the pans. When that happens, I fill the pan with warm water and add an anti-grease dish soap, such as Dawn or Ful-Sol, and let it soak overnight. Then I just rinse it out and dry it with a towel--no scrubbing and no more residue. I season the pan before using it again. I'm very careful not to use metal utensils for cooking; instead, I use silicon, wood, or utentils made specifically for non-stick pans.

January 2012 We've been concerned for some time about toxins from traditional non-stick pans. So we invested in high end French cast iron several years ago. They're expensive and heavy, and not as non-stick as we'd hoped. After reading the reviews, we decided to try the 3-Pan set of Green Earth Pans and are delighted we did. As avid Atkins dieters, we eat a lot of protein, particularly eggs and fish. Both brown nicely in the Green Earth pans, and can be cooked with little to no oil or butter. Clean up is simple--just a wipe with a soft cloth or sponge, which we prefer over paper towels. We've been looking at ceramic pans for a while and were careful about investing. Most brands seemed expensive and unproven. The price point with Green Earth was what we were looking for and the Amazon reviews helped us make the decision to buy. It was a good decision, and one we'd make again.

Bought these pans over six months ago as an affordable replacement for our peeling teflon pans. They have been fantastic the non-stick coating still works and the pans clean up beautifully. Don't know why some people think the non-stick coating wears off so soon. We never put them in the dishwasher. After cooking some foods we notice a "film" that won't wash off. Just use a finger nail to gently remove. Don't spray with oils or non-stick coatings. And you don't need to cook at temperatures as high as you may be used to. We found eggs stuck if we turned the heat up too high. Bought a second set recently for a gift. Love them!

There are not enough negatives in my vocabulary to describe my disappointment with this set of pans. EVERYTHING sticks. I bought them April 2012 and they have never worked properly despite meticulous care. They do cook non stick eggs if you flood the pan with oil and do not allow the food to come in contact with the pans. But what's the point? Food sticks to the waffle like bottom of these pans. I don't know the folks writing positive reviews but question how so many loved these awful pans. I gave one star because they hold food and can be heated. But you may well regret this purchase.

Update: 2-19-1013 I was contacted by the company regarding my review. They offered to replace the pans. I was very surprised. It seems they do monitor the reviews. I wonder if we low raters got part of a bad batch of coatings. If they do in fact replace them and they work, I will have to change my review. I have to give them credit for what appears to be real customer service.

UPDATE #2

Ok In March the new set arrived as promised. I want to make sure the last small pan didn't crash due to pilot error so i read the instructions for the umpteenth time. The instructions say to "precondition" pans prior to first use.

I do a lot of BBQ and grilling and I was pretty sure they didn't meant "season" as I do on the grill grates. i.e. coat with oil and burn it off. . {and No, I do not use the pans on a grill ]

But to make sure what "precondition" meant, I emailed the company. They got back to me within a day, as they have in the past. Again, this is serious customer service.

Turns out, according to Rachel K at Ozeri in California, it is recommended that you lightly coat the pans with cooking oil and store them like that between meals. Not sure how sanitary that is but I will do as recommended.

I now think maybe my expectations were too high for today's eco friendly products. I remember frying eggs with no vegetable oil at all. I thought that was healthy.

ECO is latin for "good for the environment but can't possibly work as well because by law we have to take out the stuff that works best" . Ever use an eco-friendly cleanser? 'Nuff said.

Apparently gone are the days of true non-stick since the materials used in the old pans may cause cancer in California laboratory attorneys and has been outlawed.

But if these pans result in less pollution in some way, i am all for it.

So... I give the company 5 stars for customer service, and this review should be considered minimum three stars for that reason alone.

However since smart folks read the bad reviews first, I will leave it here for now.

I will be back to let you know if i can fry an egg and get most of it out of the pan.

Update, April 2013.

Well these new ones work work with sufficient oil in the pan. I have not tried to fry anything without oil and do not expect to. Go ahead and buy a set. I must have gotten a bad batch before, but no way to prove that.

Fair is fair. This is now a four star rating. Partly because the pans do seem to be fine now, and partly due to the excellent customer service.

That's it. I'm done.

UPDATE 11-13

I now have a rust color inside the tiny waffle pattern over much of one pan. I have babied this pan, never been ion a dishwasher, always hand washed with gentle detergent and warm water. Food sticks and I have no clue what the stuff I am seeing is. For the life of me i don't understand all the positive ratings No way i would buy another set. I give up.

Honest reviews on Green Earth Frying Pan 3-Piece Set by Ozeri (8", 10", 12")

We bought this set because we've become more health-conscious lately. "Environmentally-friendly" does not always mean it will be high quality, but in this case, we were happy with the high-performance follow-through. We've made fried eggs and scrambled and both cooked beautifully. The textured bottom seems to keep food elevated on air and makes release of the food easier. A great set!

This product had such good reviews that I chose to buy all three pans. I am an optimist at heart so I hate to write a bad review, but these pans just are awful. I purchased them 3 months ago. The first time I used the pans they were wonderful! Nothing stuck to them. But a mere 3 months later and they are the worst pans. One has a chip in it (which could have been user error maybe I used a metal spoon to stir something?) and none of them have retained their non-stick quality. I would not recommend these pans to anyone. (And, unfortunately, they are past the 90 day return policy or I would return them.)
