For those who find it sticks, you're cooking at too high a temperature. The pan is thin and conducts heat very well. Cook on low heat and you'll have better results.
Looks good Jack. The test I always use with a new non stick pan is simply the raw whole egg test. If it doesn't slide around without using any oil or spray it's a keeper. I have returned many pans that did not pass this simple test. I finally found a pan that did pass the test and it was a 3 piece Tramontina set from Costco for $25.00. They occasionally have the set on sale for $19.99. This is by far the best value I have found and of course there is never a problem returning things at Costco.
I got this about 6 months ago and it worked amazing... till a couple of months later and its horrible. Not falling for As Seen On TV bs anymore... gonna wait till I can afford a good set of Anolon Nouvelle Copper.
Yes please! I think I speak for many who'd like to see periodic updates of any and all reviewed products. The test of time exposed to 'real world' use/conditions is what really matters... Cool videos, always looking forward to new episodes, Thanks!
Never heard of this product before but the ad does make it look amazing and so far with your review of the product looks like something I may get. Gonna check out other reviews first still so far I'm impressed.
I just bought a set of vintage Visions cookware made in the 1980's. It's a glass ceramic blend that is completely non-stick. No cancer causing teflon. Best $15.00 I ever spent.
Warning!!!! The pan MUST be treated with oil before use! Never use out of the box. It says so in the instructions. Also the pan must be treated again about every 50 uses or things will stick. Read the instructions!!!!!
Hey Jack, I recently purchased an Orgreenic skilket based off of your review of the product. I love it. The handle has a real quality feel to it. The rivets are solid. It just doesn't seem like it wants to break on me, that it will last a while. Then the non stick is impressive as well. So thanks for doing the review.
I actually have one of these and I had to buy a second one because they're so darn good. I didn't believed in it until I actually tried it. I have one for my house and one for my restaurant and the omelets I do, they're fantastic. One tip for max usage of this pan. Before cooking something for the first time, put some oil in it and let it stay in the stove with high heat until oil has reach its maximum temp, then let it cool down for about 15 minutes and remove excess with a paper towel. :)
Hey Jack :) I couldn't decide between this or the Yoshi Blue Diamond Non-stick pan...Supposedly its encrusted with diamonds. I bought one and its working perfectly. It was at my Wal-mart for $20.00 as well, just another product review idea. Oh btw the Yoshi pan is by the same people with Yoshi Blade. Thanks for your time!
I bought an Orgreenic pan a couple of years ago and seasoned it as per the instructions on the product's label. After wiping the oil away I noticed that the pan's surface was much stickier than before. Absolutely nothing cooked evenly or well in that pan. I purchased another pan a couple of weeks later and ignored the seasoning instructions. I'm still using that pan to this day. It appears only slightly worn, but it definitely remains one of my most used pans in my cookware collection. :)
I've passed by these pans every time I go to Bed Bath and Beyond, Walmart and Target, and each time I've thought "I'll wait till Jack does a review"! Now that you have, I've got my excuse to get one. I love to make omelettes, and this would be the perfect pan for them. I recently bought the "Misto", a devise that let's you use your own oil as a spray, replacing Pam and other flamable cooking sprays. It's perfect for grilling outdoors. You should review it, your subs will like it.
We bought two of these, we made sure to oil them before using them. After a few times cooking with them, they got so bad that everything would stick to them...
To anyone still on the fence, get it. The pan worked great for me for little over a year. Nothing would stick to it. Softly wiping the surface would clean it. ...Then my friend in a drunken stupor melted a spatula to it and that killed it. I bought mine at Walmart for less then 10 bucks.
If something goes frantically wrong with any product, I would do a warning on the original video or an link to an update. Not much has gone wrong. The Slap Chop did crack after 6 months but I got a lot of use out of it for $20. It still works, too. The salt and pepper shaker is pretty bad now. It breaks right away. That would be about it.
found that after repeated use it develops sticking spots. Have to, as with Teflon, put a small layer of oil after use...not cooking spray though. Use lard, like for iron pans
Rarely am I prone to slack jawed holy s^%*! moments, but the egg flopping out of the pan and the burnt milk wiping clean out blew my mind. Going out to buy one of these now. You're the man Jack
we forgave you for the yorkshire pudding incident as your second attempt was a hundred times better, just as they should be and they looked GREAT! keep up the amazing work your doing and we shall continue to support you from over the pond
I bought this pan and one from Target called "GreenPan" which is the same principal in that it's eco-friendly. (It has a grey interior.) I seasoned the Orgreenic, per instructions and has been sticky ever since. The Target "GreenPan" however doesn't need seasoning and is far better with the non-stick properties, imo. And the GreenPan is made from recycled metal, if that's important to you. My vote is for the GreenPan. I'll keep this one but am not crazy about it.
the secret to keeping teflon from getting messed up is to use soft plastic things in the pan, and use a nonscratchy sponge with cleaning it. on my favorite pan, I just wipe it out with a paper towel and it's clean. if something burned on it, I'll rinse it out. teflon is really delicate.
I think that the problem with conventional nonstick coatings is that people can't use metal in them (that's what causes the coating to "peel and crack".) Can you use metal utensils in Orgreenic? Also, I'd like you to do that bacon challenge, and see how much oil is left. Good review!
I have one of these pans and I like it. It's starting to stick a tiny bit now after a few months, but the instructions said to re-season it, I'm gonna try that. It's lasted longer that the other non-stick pans I've bought besides cast Iron, of course, but they are heavy.
This type of pan is nothing short of amazing. Fantastic for recipes which require deglazing and, when you're done, unless you've purposely burned something in there, just stick 'm under a faucet, swish the water around, dump, dry with paper towel and you're done. I'm incrementally replacing my traditional non-stick cookware with this type as they wear out.
I've got that same pan (almost) , purchased in 2012 and it's still not just good but near perfect. The rivets in the front prevent flipping things in the pan without a spatula but it would if they were absent. I say the pan is MAGIC,
I was thinking the same at first, but I know Jack has a video on hamburgers (that's how I found this channel). Then I just figured it was simply to test out this product. No point in taking the time to prepare burgers if you're only making them for a product test.
The directions say to season it with a little oil first, wipe it out and then nothing sticks. He basically seasoned it by cooking the meat on it first. Impressive! I am going to get one for sure.
Oh and other tip. Always use either a rubber spatula or wood one. Stainless steel ones can damage the ceramic coating and also don't move the pan in a ruff surface because it can damage the outer layer. it won't affect on how does the cooking but it'll look a bit ugly
A good cook doesn't need non-stick. I bought the grill pan because it was light weight (cast iron isn't), the same price as cast iron, and it was made with anodized aluminum (so the aluminum doesn't get in your food *if* the coating wears off. Ceramic will also not leech chemicals into your food or gases into the air. Aluminum also allows better control of temperature. Sticking can be caused by trying to flip food too soon, not rinsing potatoes, not pre-heating, not seasoning the pan, etc. I like the pan, just get it from a B&M for easier return if defective / knockoff.
I love mine. I have four of the regular-sized pans. And they've never gotten one scratch even with metal instruments such as whisks and metal spoons. Love it. (Also, with the chocolate thing, try letting the chocolate burn down completely as in letting all the water evaporate. Then adding water to it allows the mass to lift from the surface.)
I have a no-name ceramic pan and it's just as good as that, nearly nothing sticks to it. I also have one with a titanium coating which is also very good. I use these two to make pancakes and you can make them as thin as Jacks egg.
hello Jack. I enjoyed the pan review, a quick mention, there are instructions for first time use. they were inside the plastic wrapper. you have to do a short "cure" process before the first use. I have this pan for 3 months very happy with it. I'm glad it passed your 3 tests.
The pan works just like in the commercial...BUT! for $12 at Samsclub you can get a commercial grade(triple rivet crazy heavyduty) frying pan of the same size that has the same ceramic nonstick coating. I did all the same tests but this one looks really nice while the one from sam's looks like a restaurant tool. Good job jack I love the product reviews
Can't say as I have ever used this cook wear, but usually when things stick to the pan its because the pan is not being heated up enough to keep things from sticking to it. That doesn't mean it has to be smoking hot to wear you burn everything, but try turning it up a little and see if that helps you. Don't start with a cold pan.
Nice job, Jack...thanks for the review! As a competive Chili Cook, this product looked like something that I could use to gray my meat without ruining the pan. I have a Farberware pan now that works fine, but this looks a bit better at removing fat from the pan. Thanks again!
I frickin love mine. I got one because I failed on seasoning my cast iron right and I got birds in the house so they can't handle the dumes most non-stick gives off. Works like a charm, but yeah, you should season it at first and once every few months or so.
Its kinda funny cos alot of pan manufacturers work really hard to find ground breaking non stick technology and Orgreenic just slapped some special paint on it XD
Good and well done review! You're one of the few people on here that actually knows how to do a proper review (you know how to cook). Thanks. Burnt milk is one of the hardest things to get off of pans.
My first experience with the Orgreenic was disastrous, but after my first one was banished to a dark oblivion, I was given another as a gift! I've preserved my new one by using these simple rules: 1- low to medium heat! No higher! 2- NO cooking spray! (Actually, NO non-stick pan should get cooking spray), use oil or butter. 3- NO abrasive cleanser or scouring pad, just use a sponge, and clean it while it's still somewhat hot. #1 omelet pan, I don't use it for much else, lest it be ruined.
thanks for the review jak i am currently in university and using a normal pan is a nightmare since cleaning them gets harder and harder as i burn more food gonna pick up one of these pans awsome review keep it up and much love from the uk
Loved this review as I did all the others. I will wait for another review/update before buying one. It does look promising! The egg demo was fab. Would like to see how burnt sugar would do. Thanks again, Jack. Have a great weekend.
This does work for a few months. However after alot of cleanings and such it does degrade, as any pan would. When it does degrade, you may have to treat it... small coat of oil to keep it slick. I have not had a hard time at all cleaning it. Sticking without treating, yes... I use a slight abrasive sponge. Its the only pan I use. I love to toss cheese on it, have it get nice an crunchy an just eat it like a chip. Hmmm, I love my fatty foods for sure.
The real test is how long it will keep it's non-stick properties. Other videos report that after a few months of normal use, it looses it's non-stickyness - the same as any other cheap non-stick pan. I have given up on non-stick anything.
It say on the back of the package that you need to season the pan every few months. To season it you need to wipe it thoroughly with any kind of vegetable oil, then heat the pan until the oil starts to smoke, then let it cool down and wip off the oil. Doing this every few months keeps it from sticking apparently.
Sorry to say I don't. I took it back so quick I didn't bother to take any pics. Maybe you will have a different experience than I did. But I was just as amazed as you the first time around. After returning this one, I went and picked up a not-so-commercialized ceramic skillet from BB&B and brought it back the next day. Food stuck to it worse than stainless, so Orgreenic outperformed there.
Hate to say this but it usually takes a good year and a half to ware down that type of coating. Good quality non stick pans can last 7 or 8 years with proper care. Do a year long test using it at least 5 times a week for a real measurable result.
Thanks, Jack. I wish I had seen that before I bought stainless steel which immediately sticks and burns oil on it which turns into a varnish or rubber like substance that can not be removed except maybe with some good industrial acid. Not sure.
I just bought this pan yesterday from Walmart after watching this video. I don't know how this worked for Jack, because I put an egg in the pan, and egg was stuck so bad to the bottom, I had to let it soak for 15 minutes before scrapping is out. I followed the seasoning instructions. This pan is going back! It was absolutely not stick free. I called the company, they said I must have gotten a "bad pan" and to exchange it. I don't know about giving them a second chance.
Hey Jack, great review. My mom just bought me one of these today as a gift, and I knew you had reviewed it, so I wanted to see if it was any good before I used it becasue if your review busted the commercial, I was going to give it back to my mom and tell her to get her money back. Thanks! Happy 4th, man.
You're supposed to lightly coat it with some oil, and cook the oil off till it starts to barely smoke. Since your first test was a burger, the oil from the burger helped coat it. Other than that, the pan is awesome! :] You can even burn cheese on it and it comes right off!
It would be awesome if you use this with your other videos. Test it to the fullest. I was tempted to buy it but I really wanted to see you review it. This would be an amazing crepe pan. So, please look up a crepe recipe and use this pan. If it works. I'd totally buy it.
Jack I got pissed at the pan when it started to stick. I took a brillo pad to it and scrubbed hell out of it till I brought it back to new looking. I then heated it to 500 f then poured oil in it and let it soak into the pan a couple hours. I then rinsed it and it started to behave. Ya gotta know how to deal with greenie.
I have to say, I never like buying things advertised on tv in those kinds of commercials, but we got this for my mom for christmas about 3 months ago, we were and still are amazed it is non stick, no butter or anything is needed for it to come out. This is one of those TV products that lived up to it's promise, that rarely happens.
I bought it from walmart. I seasoned it, and works, but the green coating comes off so easy. It's scratched to hell, and I have had to scrub the crap off it on multiple occasions.
The instructions to this product tell you to season the pan before use, which I did, afterwards the pan developed an ugly brown residue after only a couple of uses! Thanks for ur show though, great job.
