I'm so glad to hear that you have tried and approve of the Green Gourmet line and I hope to get a few pieces of it for myself one of these days.

The problem with Cuisinart is that although the product is green, the manufacturer creates considerable carbon waste by having pans made in China, then shipped to another location (unknown) to be anodized, another location to be coated and then shipped to their warehouse, then shipped to distributors then shipped to retailers then likely shipped to the customer. Talk about waste! The pans made at www.ManPans.com are totally made in one plant in the US: we spin and construct our pans for strength and utility, our hard coat anodizing is type III and our coating, developed by our engineers, is a water-based, multi-layer, quartz-like finish that is permanently bonded to our pans. We use no PTFE, PFOA or any petrochemicals in our process, in fact we have a glowing report from the Washington Dept. of Ecology as an example of what green manufacturing should be. AND we sell direct to the consumer. Check it out: www.manpans.com and be sure to watch the video. We are a manufacturer in the USA that has eco-friendly cookware.
