Costco shelves are always filled with incredible products that shoppers love to rave about. From great prices on bulk items to a clothing line that continues to set the internet on fire, it sometimes seems like Costco can do no wrong… but of course, there’s always room for improvement. As it turns out, some shoppers recently took to Reddit to warn against one product that’s better left on the shelf: Greenpan Frying Pans.

When one Redditor asked the Costco subreddit for advice, customers flocked to say that these pans just aren’t worth it. Find all the details below.

Greenpan Frying Pans are “regrettable”

Where would we be if we couldn’t turn to the Internet for advice on what to buy and what to skip? While the Costco subreddit is typically full of people raving over the latest and greatest items that are stocked by the warehouse store, one recent post garnered warnings instead. It seems that many people agree that Greenpan Frying Pans aren’t worth our money.

“Any feedback on whether Greenpan frying pans are worth it?” a user asked. General consensus is: No!

“Don’t buy them. Probably in my top 5 regrettable Costco purchases,” one comment warned.

“I had one. Tossed it after very few uses. Over hyped and sticky,” another shared.

“Absolutely not, we followed the novel of instructions, and they scratched sooo bad, less than a year into having them,” someone else chimed in.

Most of the 70+ comments on the post seem to be in agreement: these frying pans are really bad. Luckily, some Costco shoppers stepped in to offer alternative options for your frying pan needs.

 

One person, who said the Greenpan varieties scratched easily, said "I like the Kirkland branded non-stick pans better." Kirkland FTW, as usual! (Let's just hope they stay consistent in their quality, unlike the vodka.)

Someone else recommended OXO pans. "They are fantastic and recommended by America's Test Kitchen," they raved.

Regardless of what frying pants you do choose, it seems clear that Greenpan isn't a great option. So next time you're at Costco, skip this purchase—but definitely consider adding these fan-approved items to your cart, instead.
