Anyone have any experience with GreenPan products?

Wife was just looking at it for a nonstick. Online reviews look promising, but figured I'd ask here...
Over the years my i s c & a aggie wife has tried every brand of nonstick there is.  My conclusion is that they are all disposable.  None of them last more than a year or two.  This includes GreenPan, Calphalon, Tfal, Allclad, and also those ones advertised on TV like Gotham Steel, Copper Chef, and the like.  

Since they're all disposable and price doesn't really seem to affect longevity, she's just started buying a new set at Costco whenever the old set starts to lose its nonstick.  Usually about once per year.

Personally I tend to use our non-nonstick Calphalon hard-anodized aluminum cookware which has lasted almost 25 years, or a stainless steel pan I picked up at Marshall's for almost nothing, or one of my cast iron skillets.

That's interesting... Is she really hard on cookware?

I get five years normally, but I do a lot of grilling and cast iron.

yup, I buy the cheap stuff on sale.  I get 2 or 3 years but don't use them much.

Hmm... Doing a little more research and it seems that quite a few people think they're not really any different from any other nonstick, and some think they're trash. 

Definitely going to say that the Stanley Tucci pans at ridic prices from Williams-Sonoma are a hard pass at this point.

I don't think there's any "hard use" but there's certainly frequent use.  The fry pans are probably used 3x-4x per week.

But always washed and dried by hand.  By me, of course, since she and my daughter invariably just leave skillets lying around everywhere as if there's some magical skillet cleaning fairy.

No doubt.  Turns out, they're correct.

Didn't know which OT thread was best suited to ask this, but maybe it goes here. 

I need some kind of portable sink that I can hook up a hose to provide the water.  Ideally it would have a drain tube at the bottom, but I could probably make do without one and just dump it when I'm done.  I want something for the back porch to clean my grill grates.  My grill isn't all that big, but the grates are still much too big to get into the kitchen sink, and cleaning them there is a PITA.  If I could stand them up in a bigger basin it would be much easier. 

I know they make stuff like that, but I'm wondering if anyone here has something like that or a recommendation for or against something.

Look at laundry room sinks, mud room sinks and garage sinks.

Yup, my first thought was laundry room sink, my guess is that would be the cheapest.  You could also look under "utility" sink for similar.

Then there's sinks designed for commercial kitchens.  Likely sturdier, and also likely more expensive.

At our restaurant we had a massive sink.  My dad always told me (and the actual paid employees), that the big thing with all the jets wasn't the dishwasher, I was the dishwasher.  That other thing was just for sanitizing the dishes.

Yeah, my response was...

You clean your grill grates in the sink??

I have a thing called Grill Floss that can get any caked on bits off all parts of the grates, and a grill brush. Between that and heat, I don't know what more I'd need.
