We all know that cleaning up after cooking can be a frustrating experience especially when you have food residue stuck around rivets – the two metal bumps that stick out from the inner surface of the pan. With the GreenPan Rio, cleaning with a soft sponge is easy thanks to its smooth inner cooking surface all around the pan.

Tip: Avoid using the green/rough side of a sponge when cleaning non-stick surfaces as it can cause micro-scratches which will eventually wear out the coating.

Moreover, it is equipped with the signature GreenPan Thermolon non-stick coating so you can cook with a peace of mind as it won’t blister, peel or release any harmful chemicals, even if you accidentally overheat the pan.

Like its name suggests, Hard & Light’s frying pans are indeed lightweight and durable thanks to the hard anodising process – a.k.a what creates a strong protective layer. This makes it incredibly corrosion resistant so you won’t be replacing this pan anytime soon. This means that even if you managed to scratch the pan, there won’t be any metal or harmful chemicals leaking out.

Owing to its premium aluminium body, the Hard & Light Frying Pan also heats up quickly and preserves heat so your food can be cooked in a jiffy.
