Martha Stewart's Green Pan

Call me a geek, but for my birthday I asked for a skillet. Not just any skillet though, the new Green Pan from Martha Stewart's line at Macy's. This new pan is non-stick without using Teflon. In the last few years a lot of noise has been made about the toxicity of Teflon especially when at high temperatures. Being an EXTREME violator of the temperature standards for this product ( I like things to get hot and cook fast! ) I thought maybe this pan would be a great alternative to my Wearever pan and also be a lighter option to my cast iron skillet. Needless to say I love it! The enamel coating on the heavy aluminum is as non-stick as you can get. Food just slides around in the pan making it healthier fat wise too because you don't have to use oils. The construction of the pan also makes it cook evenly and is oven safe to 650 degrees.

It is a thing of beauty! : ) For under $40 you can get this GREAT pan at Macy's and feel better about what you are cooking your family's meals in. I also recommend the trusty old cast iron skillet that I mentioned earlier. It takes a little finesse to use cast iron, which is why I would say to use this pan if you are a novice chef, but if you can get a good season on your cast iron it will work just as well as the Green Pan plus you get the added benefit of small amounts of iron leaching in your food ( this is a good leaching! ). If you are in the market for a new pan, looking for a wedding or housewarming gift this pan is perfect. Even our cooking utensils can be environmentally friendly!
