Masterchef
Masterchef suits cooks filling a first kitchen or replacing a single worn pan, with the range covering cookware and knives and prices starting at £12.99 in the UK. Returns run 14 days if the fit is wrong, though the 1 year warranty is thin cover and support runs on email and help centre only.

Pros and cons
GreenPan
Pros
- Frypans start at $19.99, and the site places GreenPan 17 of 60 brands on starting price.
- Every collection is induction ready, matching the 92.6% share of brands in the cookware ranking, so the hob rarely filters your list.
- The coating is PFAS free, and 100% of cookware brands carry the same claim, so this point no longer separates the shortlist.
Cons
- GreenPan ships to US and PR, so anyone buying outside those markets goes through a third-party seller.
- Warranty terms run 2 years to lifetime, so a low priced pan can carry the short end of the range while a premium piece carries the long end.
- Knives and bakeware are covered, but a kitchen and table basket sits better with Knivesandtools, whose cookware, knives and tableware reach tableware and drinkware.
Masterchef
Pros
- Entry pricing of £12.99 puts Masterchef at 13 of 60 brands on price, the front part of the field.
- One shop covers cookware and knives, so a pan and a knife arrive together instead of in separate orders.
- The listed frying pan is induction ready and dishwasher safe, which fits most UK kitchens without a hob check.
Cons
- Cover of 1 year ranks 26 of 38 brands on warranty length, below the cookware group median of 10 years.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so there is no phone line for quick questions.
- Delivery covers GB only, so buyers outside the UK have no shipping route through the store.
Who each suits
GreenPan
Who it suits
- Home cooks who want induction ready pans and are happy with a PFAS free nonstick coating as the everyday default.
- Renters and first-time buyers who want a low entry point, since frypans start at $19.99 and returns run 60 days.
- People cooking on induction who also want bakeware and a knife in one basket, since cookware, knives and bakeware cover all three.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for a knife-led basket: Knivesandtools lists cookware, knives and tableware, so the cutting side is broader there.
- Not for a shopper whose whole list is cookware and bakeware: Lodge covers cookware and bakeware and stops there.
Masterchef
Who it suits
- UK cooks building a first kitchen who want a pan and a knife in one order at £12.99 entry.
- Households cooking on an induction hob, since the listed pan is induction ready and dishwasher safe.
- Buyers who want a Pfas free nonstick coating at ptfe nonstick without a premium price.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want bakeware alongside cookware, since Lodge covers cookware and bakeware.
- Buyers building one order for knives, tableware and drinkware, since Knivesandtools covers cookware, knives and tableware.
- Anyone who wants a cookware only specialist, since Grill Masters Club lists cookware.

Questions about each
GreenPan
How much does a GreenPan pan cost?+
Frypans start at $19.99, and the site places GreenPan 17 of 60 brands on starting price. Pans are bought outright rather than on a plan, so that figure is the full cost of the pan and not a first instalment. If a pan does not fit your kitchen, returns run 60 days.
What does GreenPan actually sell?+
GreenPan lists cookware, knives and bakeware under one roof, and the cookware side runs across ceramic nonstick, stainless and cast iron. A nonstick pan, a cast iron piece and a hybrid base can therefore come from the same brand, which helps if you want one finish and one care routine across the kitchen rather than a mix of makers.
Masterchef
How much does Masterchef cost?+
Entry pricing starts at £12.99, which places Masterchef at 13 of 60 brands on this measure. Prices are listed per item rather than as a plan, and the range covers cookware and knives. Larger pans and knife sets sit above that entry figure.
Does Masterchef sell knives as well as pans?+
The range covers cookware and knives, so knives can join a cookware order without a second supplier. Knivesandtools carries cookware, knives and tableware, a wider kitchen and table mix, while Masterchef keeps the shelf tighter to pans and knives.
