That sounds like pretty good cookware! We are in need of better stuff, so I might have to look into that. (Not to mention two daughters needing kitchenware in the next year or so when they move out!) Thanks for the review…really like that grill top!
.-= Anna´s last blog ..Tired. Of. Snow. =-.

wow that’s amazingly easy to clean. thanks for sharing.
.-= jenn´s last blog ..Adventures in Memphis I =-.

Looks like some pretty fancy cookware. I’m due for some new stuff, mine is old and wearing out. I think I would have had a panic attack over the seasoning thing….lol
.-= ann´s last blog ..I feel so disconnected =-.

Hi Jude,
Thanks for sharing your experience with your new orgreenic ceramic cookware. I do like the grill, that is pretty neat you can use that on your stove top. That would be healthier cooking. Have a great weekend!
.-= Robin´s last blog ..Strenghten Your Core =-.

Looks great, I love easy cleanups. I have several pieces of pampered chef stoneware that I dearly love and would NOT live without.
.-= Buggys´s last blog ..Music Box Dancers – Unbelievable! =-.

I bought just the introductory fry pan. so far, I’m lovn it. Now I want to buy some more of the pieces. There was no info in my package about how to buy more orgreenic pieces. I looked online but can only find thier infomercial about the !9.99 fry pan offer. anyone know where I can find out how to buy more pieces? I want to price these items b4 I buy more also. thanks

Thanks for the pics and the review. It’s sometimes hard to trust the informercials, but I’m glad that this one is living up to its hype. Will check to see your follow-up review after you’ve used it awhile. Thanks again.

Rob: I’m going to post after a 6 month use because there are lots of things I haven’t tried yet. I still have to add a tiny amount of oil or spray Pam so I can flip my egg or it sticks, it simply didn’t work for me like shown on TV. I managed to remove the beads after reheating, I simply left them on too long when seasoning. Yes, you can deglaze and so far I haven’t found anything I can’t use with the Orgreenic, I even made milk gravy using the bacon drippings with no problem. The gravy leftovers came out easy unlike some other skillets I’ve used. Bill loves making pancakes and they come out great. So far we are still loving this Orgreenic cookware , Bill said he found a small scratch on the larger pan, but I don’t see it. I’m keeping my eyes on it for any type of damage, but so far we’ve been satisfied. I’m going to make cornbread next week so I’ll see how it works in the oven, but I’m sure there will be no problem. My grill doesn’t just wipe clean now, I do have to use a little soap and water, but it still cleans up fairly easy. The ham we cooked this morning stuck so I am now going down to wash it and see how hard it is to remove.

Hi Dave,
I am also skeptical of infomercials and looked for reviews before we ordered and they ran half and half so we decided to try them ourselves and if we didn’t like them we could return them.

Yes we received the chopper, but it’s smaller and the quality isn’t as good as the pampered chef one that we already had and love. It works the same, but you can only chop small amounts.

So far we still like them and I will see how we feel in a few more months of use. I really want to try a pineapple upside down cake.

Yaya I made some cornbread yesterday and it worked fine, I just finished a post about my test. I think I’ll bake some fish or chops this week and see how that works out.

I just went to the site and I could not find the link to order the 17 piece set?

Help!

what is the product made of? Who says it doesn’t let off toxic fumes?

Direct link to buy each components. Better buy the whole set…I am still thinking about it. Each pot or pan is at least over $100 to $2xx something I got this link after calling 800-280-5424 rep. You can order the set over the phone rather than sending check to the address on “contact us” link.

http://www.orgreenic.com/components.html

$299.94 for 16pc and NOT 17pc set (typo) free shipping if pay in full.

Bea.. I also did a burnt milk test which I posted about yesterday so it’s still on the home page.

I have always used cast-iron skillets in the past and enjoyed their even heat and low stick. When seasoning them, I have found it better to use lard, instead of oil, like Kevin says. Oil seem to turn into a brown tar and doesn’t help the non-stick quality. Bet that’s why some people are having problems with sticking. After seasoning, it’s OK to use oil.

Ordered the trial skillet/cookbook/chopper online. Didn’t like the way that a $19 skillet turned into a $34 one because I was made to take the chopper and cookbook that I didn’t need or want. Free?…LOL. Right!

A couple of days after I placed the order, I received an e-mail that said they were very busy and that my order will be shipped within 15 days. That was 18 days ago. Hope it’s worth waiting for.

I finally order the whole set and give it try. My wife did the cooking and I did the cleaning. It’s a lot easier and faster than other cookwares that we have. We do not use a dishwasher. I order over the phone 800-280-5424 for 299.94 and no sales tax plus free shipping via FedEX. It come within 5 days after I ordered.

The 16 pc/set includes 9″ pan, 11 3/4″ pan with lid, 1 1/2 quart pt w/lid, 2 1/2 quart w/lid, square 11 3/4″ grill pan, 6 (9″ dia) quart pot w/lid, Aluminum Steamer Insert, 4 utensils, food chopper, and recipe guide

It has it own “OrGreenic” name on every handle that make they look expensive and durable cookware to me.

http://www.orgreenic.com/components.html

4 things I like this brand are:
1–> It really non stick minus the toxin vs other non stick pot and pan.
2–> It really to clean
3–> So far the bottom of each pot and pan don’t get burn or turn brown or black.
4–> The pot or pan heat evenly. The surrounding of pot and pan get really hot so watch out.

Sounds like terrific stuf but like so many others have been burned by misleading infomercials that I will wait for the final report is in from Jude (Please dont sugar coat the results)as I don’t have a very good paying job and have to be very careful on what we buy. Keep up the outstanding job of reporting on this cookware will be earnestly waiting for the final review. P.S. Maybe by then the Price will come down Ha Ha !

Where is Orgreenic made, China or USA??

I wonder if it contains lead????

Hi Jude, Loved your review and tests on the product seems neat… and I checked the links that were shown on in here, but they just take us directly to the telebrands website, so i found this website :

anyways im not located in the US and I would like to order this product but before ordering it I would like to know abt the weight of the product if you dont mind mentioning it online and the dimensions of the box too.

your response would be of great help to me!
and Looking fwd to more reviews from your side on this product, like what kinda spoons to use (wooden or steel) boiling pasta, or stir fry food with less oil, or preparing roast sort of dishes like lamb or duck or a whole pot roast, preparing gravies, …etc etc etc

thanks

I finally got my frypan (3) months after ordering it. And guess what? Same thing happened about the oil not smoking, then getting stuck on. But, unfortunately I have not been able to rectify the proble. I cleaned and cleaned. Looked like it would be okay, but, when I tried to cook something, stuck on egg mess. Very unhappy… If anybody has a hint to help me, let me know.

Same with me watch when you order because I never ordered the whole set and got it anyways. I went in to look at a survey they wanted me to do about household ages etc and low and behold, I had ordered the entired set? ITS a trap!!! I called them next day and they said they need 48 hours to process the order before they can stop the order, I only wanted the skillett I have a great set of pans just cant find a good skillett I used the heck out of my other one. So here I am with a full set.. I guess I can give it to my Daughter is moving to the dorms with a kitchen but at the cost of the pans will the other 3 respect the pans? Anyway, my BOTTOM LINE PRICE WAS ONLY 179.95 for all the pans.. after doing the survey I see others paid 300.00? I guess I got a deal or I guess I got someone elses used/returned head ache? Well see, I will keep everyone updated too! thanks to all of you who have left messages.. Cheers!

One little thing I agree with someone who said season with Lard.. I have and still use castiron so I have been watching mom and myself season pains for 45 years or more.. GOOD LUCK

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know where i could see this product in person. With all the mixed reviews here i’m having second thoughts if it really works as it says.
I read everything and still wondering if its really non-stick. Is everyone having this egg problem that its getting stuck. I’m thinking of getting it but not too sure if i should if it doesn’t do what it says. I’m also wondering how heavy are the pieces as its ceramic. I’m assuming its heavy no? I would appreciate any replies. Please help…
Thank you all

Thank you very much for getting back to me this fast. I’ll hold off and wait for your next review. sounds like it’s not the best as it sticks and doesn’t do what they say it does. U should be able to cook with it without using oil as they say and show.

Anyone looking for a full set, I got one at 175.00 for full set including the cooking untisiels and chopper and cook book.. the full 16 pc set, too bad I didnt want it.. being single again I dont cook much and I have a full set of pans I use, but I needed a new fry pan.. I thought I was ordering a new fry pan when I filled out a survey to get a better deal with tax came to less than 200.00 so if I wanted to keep it that would have been a great deal.. I say look on the website for a way to do a survey and get the deal.. Me, Im sending it back.. they told me to keep the fry pan and chopper and untisels.. for my trouble.. so what a deal I got.. good luck.. PS MY FRY PAN is sticking like a mad man.. I seasoned it twice, having cast iron pans my entire life I know how to season.. guess it needs another round!?

After finally getting mine 8 weeks and three days later the two i have are perfect. I seasoned them with vegetable oil as instructed. Waited for my for the light mist. Removed from the heat and allowed it to totally cool. Once wiping it out i cooked my infamous cheese eggs with no oil to see if it worked. I was so anxious to prove they wouldnt work that i was shocked when they actually worked. Wow! Anyway ive been using them for two weeks and they look like ive never used them

wow.. what great cookware… I COOK!! and i just love them… my husband and i tried the grill out for burgers. .they came out great, but something happened when we went to wash…. the coating came right off… we were dissappointed, but when i called them.. them apologized said they never had that happen before and they would send a replacement out immediately, since i had called within our 30 days. they were so nice, she didn’t want me to pay to return the defective item, they would just replace.. NOW THAT’S CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

Daniel, I hate my skillets and grill, they are starting to burn which really ticks me off, but they’re still the easiest I have ever had to clean. The rest seem to do okay, but I’m not a gourmet cook so I really haven’t used them as hard. Bill is now wishing he had just bought a few good pieces from target or some place and replaced them as needed. Since it’s only been since Feb. I’m still out on the verdict.

Pans not living up to my expectations, always need scrubbing after use, and bottoms are discolored. The insides do clean up nicely, however, I was hoping for a real non toxic non stick pan. Oh well……. I’ve been using mine since march

I’ve had my set for about 3 months now. The pan I use the most is the 9″ fry pan. I have tried seasoning the pan twice and am still having problems with foods sticking, especially eggs. I hope I will not have a issue with “buyers remorse”. I have tried different oils and length of times for watching oils to smoke. Still sticking…any ideas? I’m feeling like I should attempt to send the set back but I’m past the thirty days.

I agree, there are things I still like about the product. The surface seems durable and they are about the right weight. They are easy to clean. I think that is the confusing part. You would think that if they are easy to clean, food shouldn’t stick! Thanks for the reply. I still wonder what the lifetime guaranty REALLY means?

I too still use a dab of olive oil or olive oil spray. I sent the set back and got to keep the skillet and chopper and the cooking utinsels, they got it back on July 2nd and I have YET to get my refund!@! UGh.. again they are the ones who messed up and send and charged me for the entire set.. when I only wanted the fry pan, Im glad I have it, but happy I sent the rest back, Gloria I too happy I didnt order the entire set

Hi Dawn, maybe you can call them to fax or email you the receipt, or use your credit card as the receipt.. they have you on file now, and for a while.. I got my entire set for 179.00 plus shipping, funny thing I didnt order that much!! only a fry pan.. so ha HA I sent it all back and they gave me all my money back paid for the reship and let me keep the fry pan for the problems, I love my pan I do use a tad of olive oil to cook with it but OMG the clean up is so easy.. if I had a family to cook for I may have kept the set but Im an empty nester and my TEEN had a new set of Tfal already..

Everything sticks, but at least does not peel or chip with cleanup……..Bottom looks pretty ugly too…….Glad I just got the two frying pans.

If you are concerned about your health, and healthy cooking, Dr. Julian Whitaker has a wellness center in California. One of the things he sells is ceramic cookware that is made in Europe. Concern was mentioned about products made in China.

I just placed an order for the 9″pan. After I entered the credit card info, instead of giving me the total for my approval, it went directly to a confirmation. The confirmation included charged unrelatated to the 9″pan, so I called their customer service immediately to have them remove the unordered items. They refused. How’s that for an indication of their business practices?

Thanks for all the comments. I have definitely decided not to order this product. Their customer service seems terrible, I don’t like the website, and deception. I also worry about the “Made in China” aspect. If toys made it here with lead paint…..

After all these months I have decided you would be better off buying Paula Dean or cast iron cookware. We wish we had spent our money else where. I will write another post about this Orgreenic crap in January….Jude

How many pieces do you get for the $300 price of the cookware? Please give a detailed list (pans (type), lids (yes or no) etc… I am very interested in the cookware but when you go to their site, they don’t disclose anything except for the origianl 9″ fry pan that you get for the $20 price.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg

I bought this for a Christmas present to myself … It has been just over a month that I opened this …My pans are CRAP , burnt ans stick NOTHING like it says it is !!! VERY dissatisfied !!! I feel VERY ripped off !

Sandy, I hear you. It took awhile longer for our regret to kick in. I really should go back through all my posts about this product and add a warning to each. I’m working on an update on the Orgreenic and hope to have it up soon. So far I haven’t tried to have anything replaced yet. I have a couple that seem to be chipping.

I bought the Green pans through HSN. At first my son and I loved them. But as you keep using them, food starts to stick more and more. Also, it started to get scratches and chips which made the food stick even more. I went back and bought a T-Fal non-stick pan, which I am a whole lot more happy with.

BEWARE::::: I was in marketing for many years and I have seen over the years that things that are sub standard are usually infomercialed by a fast-talking, energetic person, and more commonly now, one with a British accent. I was one of those that made those infomercials KNOWING that a product was not as stated. However, everyone has a legal right to sell what they wish and boundaries are pushed to its limits, at best, for fraudulent advertising. No one ever pursues anything legally as it is expensive and time consuming, Not to mention that the company is usually in another state which requires much traveling to pursue anything. So one just usually say, “They live and learn” and will not buy that product again. It is a marketing fact that people subconsciously think that if something is made elsewhere, its better. (the grass is greener on the other side of the fence syndrome) Example: Calif oranges are marketed heavily in Florida and visa-versa. Are either really better? If its quality; there is no need to talk fast and certainly no reason not to have no further info on their website. Also making you buy “free” items (under a handling umbrella) should always be your first clue. Two last thoughts: Make sure it is in writing and not stated by a telephone sales order taker that your 30-day money back guarantee starts from day of receiving item(s) and not purchase date. Many shady companies wait purposely 30 days to ship so that you may not return item. The “30 day money back offer” is by law and not because a company is confident in their product, and this is their way to circumvent that law legally. Paying a little more for an express shipping may be worth its weight in gold as it clearly defined when your 30 days begin. Last; read as many reviews that you can which many people already do. You can usually sift thru the postings by hostile ex-employees or those that actually work for the company. Yes, that is a common issue. Companies have current PR employees continue to post mostly positive postings mingled with a few little insignificant negative comments such as delays in shipping to seem legit. Signed; a person out of deceptive marketing, by CHOICE, and can sleep well again at night now.

I ordered just the frying pan and declined the chopper.

A few weeks later they me the whole set! They’ve only charged me $30 so far, but I’m gonna use the stuff for fear they’ll charge me later.

Any suggestions?

I have be trying to find the pans onine but i been find on e the one for 19.99 but i want to know where i can find the whole set like you did i was on the site and cant find can you help me out on this please

followed instruction on seasoning pans via oven and seemed to work better than tove top. i would agree they can keeep the” free” crap and lower the shipping cost. took 4 weeks arrive after ordering.

My wife surprised me with these pots and pans … they stink glorified Teflon pan. in fact i would rather have Teflon.

I am curious, with the warranty that comes with the pans, what was your experience with the company and sending the pans back for new ones (after the 30 day window is up)?

THESE COOKWARE SUCK.EVERYTHING STICKS!

Amazon.com sells the entire orgreenic set for $101.00 including shipping. I think I will order mine from them! I sold cookware in a big department store for years. If you use too much heat you can warp any type of pan even a $200. coper clad stainless one. (done that) for $100 bucks from amazon I will be willing to take my chances, use ordinary care while cooking in the orgreenic pans, and be happy that I am not contaminateing my food with bits of the coating from regular non stick pans.

Thanks for all your comments. I was looking into ceramic cookware to replace the “Green Pan” set from HSN from which I had the same exact problems. I had to use oil and eventually everything stuck and the coating comes off. Next time I will purchase 100% ceramic and nothing with a coating!

thank you all for taking the time to post these comments. This was the most helpful review I have ever read.

Thanx guys all of ya are such a blessing to me. I have been living in the US for just over a year now. I am a Scottish believer. Here with military. Orgreenic caught my attention but thank God not for long enough. Personally I feel for every American, I don’t know how you deal with the amount of advertising here its insane.
Here is what I would suggest: get recordable tv or if you have it use it. What I do is when I find a programme I want to watch: Pause tv. Go off and do something else. Come back watch what I want to and fast forward through the adverts. That or record it and do the same. Well thanx again. The only place the grass is greener, is in the Kingdom of God. And His Kingdom is in you: When you believe in Jesus.

P.S. As for the informercials, Are we addicted to this crap. Hmm, I believe in all of us. We can say no and lets switch this CRAP off.

We will certainly be more Blessed for it.
God Bless all, In Jesus Name Amen

DO NOT buy from this company.

My sister had the same bad experience as Cathy of comment#165. She went online to order 2 of the 9″ pan special for $19.99 EACH with the free gift but got charged for 2 complete sets for over $1000 dollar. When she tried to cancel the order, it doesn’t allow her to do so. She called the 800 service number to cancel the order but she got passed on to different people and still couldn’t cancel her order. She had to cancel her credit card in order not to be charged Again, DO NOT buy from this company.

Just got it and did the oil smoke thingy. I was pretty excited to be using it for I needed to replace the non stick pan I have. I waited for about 15 minutes and I thought I saw smoke and closed it. Followed the directions. I was surprised to fine that the pan left burnt marks already. I cooked tofu on it first to test it out. I had to add oil because it was sticking really bad. As of now, I’m pretty disappointed. My wife looked at me without an word (I took you so.) I cooked a sausage afterward with out oil, but it was sticking to the pan so I added oil. Where did I go wrong? Lesson learned.

By the way, when do they send the free bonus.

I just saw the infomercial and was ready to buy it. I have made it a habit to read reviews now on just about everything I buy. Thanks for the great review! I’ll be stirring clear of this product!

Thank you for starting this review and following though on your use of the Orgreenic products. Also, many thanks to all who have commented on their experiences with this company and their products too.

I was really interested in trying the frying pan but, thank goodness, I did some product review searches! I will NOT be purchasing this product. I will check out Xtreme Cookware and Paula Dean Cookware instead. Thanks again. :O)

Is there ANYWAY to send this stuff back after 30 days?

I am considering the orgreenic tv add a scamas I called the number they took my order and my money 4 months ago and I still do not have my fry pan. I have called every moth since the order and am sick of the unfullfilled promises.

I still want to know if anyone has attempted to send this stuff back after 30 days. I sure can’t get a egg to slide around mine now after about a year.

I’m considering just sending the whole set back to them and I don’t care if I get a refund or not. The bottoms are warped, scatched and I’ve tried seasoning according to the directions and food still sticks. I’ll buy “real” non-stock one pany at a time like Farberware Millennium or Emeril, etc. I’ve had it with this crap!

I decided to buy one and see before I got the whole set. I seasoned and used it right away. My eggs did stick without some type of oil or butter and after 2 eggs the enamel is scratched. I am going to send it back as I am concerned with what’s under the enamel and with how quickly it seemed to scratch, who knows what it’s made of. Don’t believe the infomercials.

Wow! thanks for starting this blog..even though I know from life experience that “if it sounds to good to be true” it usually is…I still hope for something really awesome to appear with honest marketing behind it. It gets harder and harder to have faith in mankind but, people like you restore my faith. Thank you!

Orgreenic pans look good whoever there claims of healthy cooking but everyone knows how completely terrible the quality control is in China where there made….if this. Company. Really. Cared about us they would make it here in the USA and truly. Be organic … there are other ceramic pans. Green+Organic is a joke when it says made in china!

I received an email today on Ogreenic and followed it to the infomercial. Looked good. Sought reviews but they all acted like a review and had a link to BUY! Then I found you. Thanks, you saved me time and money.

Hmmmm…. I used the frying pan for the first time today and my egg slid around the pan, just like in the commercial. I did season it as in the directions and barely got some smoking before I turned it off. The oil just wiped out. I’m going to continue to give them a chance. Will probably not go the route of getting the whole set after reading all this, but wanted to let you know out there that my pan seemed to work great this time.

Come on people, we have got to quit buying things made in China, I was interested until that I will not buy from China. We are in bad shape and if we keep buying from China they will rule us.

I’m glad I stumbled upon your site Jude, but REALLY disappointed. I purchased the set as a Christmas gift for myself – I’ve never had new pans, only hand-me-downs. They arrived just today, and I was searching online if I should wash the pans before seasoning (it doesn’t say in the included paperwork), and I found your blog. After reading, I seasoned one skillet using olive oil (my only other option in-house was Canola); no, it didn’t smoke, but I only left it on for maybe 15 minutes. I find it curious that I find NO instruction on Google about seasoning ceramic cookware – just cast iron. When ordering, the saleslady (Barbara #5044) was somehow able to remove one of the $50 payments, bringing the cost down to $250, and she said the set was dishwasher SAFE. When getting the set today, I noticed these things: 1) It’s NOT dishwasher safe, per the care instructions, 2) The printed warranty does NOT match what was said on the infomercial, and 3) I did NOT receive my free gift. I did, however, seem to get an extra 9.5″ skillet (so I have 2). I also got 2 of the same cookbook. I called Cust Svc, and she said, 1) NOT dishwasher safe, and apologized about the misinformation from Babs, 2) The warranty is as the informercial stated, but does NOT have anything in writing to cement, and 3) She’s sending issue to “upper mgmt” to send my my free gift. I’m going to try to cook on it tomorrow, then probably send it back. I do NOT have a good feeling about this. It IS a pretty set, but I need it to WORK and LAST. Was anyone able to get the return shipping covered by them?? OH, and P.S…I was told by Babs that I have SIXTY days to change my mind – not the 30 that I see everyone’s talking about. Wish me luck regardless. Ciao!

DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!
i asked for 2 for 20 price i was sent 6 i got a RMA# for them sent it back at my cost 37.45 what a crock of crap.

Thanks for setting this blog up. I came to my computer initially to order a set of the pans.

The folks here posting their information has convinced me not to waste my money

My wife bought an orgreenic fry pan from some local store and she said she seasoned it per the instructions. She can be quite impatient, at times, so after she told me that the pan didn’t perform as anticipated, I had suspitions of her performing the “seasoning” correctly. After a couple of days, I pulled the pan out to fry up eggs for breakfast. Before use, I added just a few drops of vegetable oil, just to aid the non-stick function; because of my wifes previous experience. Just as with most comments on this thread, my egg frying experience didn’t go well. The eggs had to be scraped up to flip them over. I thought for sure, with a few drops of oil, everything would go well. I would have faired much better with our old seasoned cast iron skillet; which typically does a good job with eggs.

After reading these comments, i’m satisfied that my wife did the seasoning as instructed, but our pan, and apparently the whole “Orgreenic” concept of non-stick, does not live up to the hype.

The only positive I can say at this time, the pan did clean up with just a wipe.

After my cooking experience, I thought I would check online for more info – that’s how I came across this site. It definate sounds like everyone should avoid these products. I know this pan we have is the only one that will come into our home.

Jude, you have done everyone a great service with the posting of this page. Thanks so much for the effort.

Stop all this insanity, use good ole american made cast iron, I’ve used my grandmothers which are now 100 years old. I’m now a grandmother myself and still use them. Seasoned right they do not stick, bake, roast, and fry like a dream. By the way me or my family & now my grandchildren have NEVER had an iron shortage. If I make pineapple upside down cake you’ll need to reseason, but well worth it. They make skillets, griddles, roasters and pots, grills and more. All go from stove top to oven and even a camp fire. They don’t break, and you can’t even burn them up I’ve tried and my “egg skillet”, is a six inch cast iron & shinny as glass nothing stocks to it the more you use them the better they get so divide cost of cast iron over say 100 years and you’ll see they are priceless.

You would think you guys woulda payed attention to the commercial a bit better… i found it funny that the instructions everyone posts says before first use to put oil on the pan and heat it till the pan smokes to season the pan, however if you watch the commercial it says that the pan isnt suppose to smoke at all unlike others pans. think about this lol. commercial says it wont smoke then pan instructions says it will at medium heat during seasoning… lol first sign of scam.
