Earth Pan II by Farberware 10-Piece Cookware Sets Review

I have been using this set non-stop for over a month. I love it - it is the best non-stick surface I've ever used. I haven't had any problem with carbon build-up, but then again, I don't use non-stick cooking sprays - I use an oil spritzer. The difference between the two is that non-stick sprays contain soy lecithin which is totally fine and won't harm you in the least, but it builds up on your cookware over time. As long as you avoid these, any non-stick cookware should last you for years, assuming you use wooden or silicone utensils. I love that they are oven safe because the handles are silicone instead of rubber.

Get serious about your cooking and your green credentials while you add style to your kitchen with this 10-piece aluminum cookware set in terra cotta from Farberware's Earth Pan II line. This set includes one 1-1/2-quart covered saucepan, one 2-quart covered saucepan, one 8-inch skillet, one 10-inch skillet, one 3-quart covered saute pan, and one 6-quart covered stockpot.
The pans have an aluminum construction that heats up quickly and helps reduce hot spots that can cook foods unevenly. The dual riveted stainless steel handles feature with a thick, comfortable silicone cover, and both the pan and silicone handle are oven safe to 600 degrees F. The long handles also include a hole for hanging. Earth Pan cookware works on all cooking surfaces, except for induction cookers.
The foundation of all Earth Pan cookware is the unique SandFlow nonstick coating that originates from sand--used to manufacture kitchenware like glass and silicone bakeware. Just like the nonstick pans you've used over the years, Earth Pan cookware is formulated to provide excellent food release without use of cooking oils, and the pans are easy to clean. Based on industry lab tests, SandFlow nonstick surfaces are three times more durable than ceramic-based surfaces and they require 33 percent less energy to cure than traditional nonstick pans.
The SandFlow coating does not contain PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, also known as the brand name Teflon) or PFOA (a key processing agent in making nonstick and stain-resistant materials, including Teflon)--both of which have raised health concerns in recent years. Laboratory animals exposed to high doses of PFOA suffered cancer, low birth weight and a suppressed immune system, though PTFE-manufactured nonstick cookware is considered an insignificant exposure source of PFOA.
This pans are dishwasher safe, though handwashing is recommended to ensure longevity. Metal utensils and abrasive cleaners or brushes should be avoided. Earth Pan's packaging material and inserts are made from at least 50 percent recycled fiber with all materials being 100 percent recyclable.
What's in the Box 1-1/2-quart saucepan with lid, 2-quart saucepan with lid, 8-inch skillet, 10-inch skillet, 3-quart saute pan with lid, and 6-quart stockpot with lid

Circulon Elite Hard Anodized Nonstick 11-Inch Square Griddle Review

Circulon Elite Hard Anodized Nonstick 11-Inch Square Griddle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very nice griddle. Looks exactly like my Circulon fryer pan. It makes great pancakes, (looking forward to grilled sandwiches). To the lady who doesn't think you can put it in the dishwasher. I think it says that you can on the instructions, but why? It takes a squirt of soap and about 5 seconds and its clean and ready to go again. I swear I have never cooked anything on Circulon that doesn't usually just wipe right off of it. It has a smooth finished bottom that won't scratch a ceramic glass oven top. Heats up evenly and cooks great. Really nice rubberized and stainless handle. Stays cool and gives a good grip.

Low sides allow maximum access to the cooking surface making it ideal for foods like pancakes, eggs, French toast and grilled sandwiches. Made of hard-anodized aluminum for even heating with a nonstick interior for easy cleanup.

Anolon Advanced 12-Inch Shallow Round Grill Pan Review

Anolon Advanced 12-Inch Shallow Round Grill Pan

Anolon 'Advanced' is the much higher quality, and, for some quirky reason, is priced $15 less than the Calphalon! I pan-grilled some filet mignon steaks (am savoring them now) and was impressed at the signature 'sear marks'. Cleanup is a breeze and reviewers should note that the Anolon 'Advanced' line has not been plagued with the shedding of the non-stick coating (as both the 'Commercial' and 'Simply Calphalon' lines have been).
This will not take the place of an outdoor grill, but it does bring a taste of summer into the cold winter months. 'Cook's Illustrated' also gave the Anolon 'Advanced' 12" Deep Covered Grill Pan high marks, but this shallower, non-covered grill pan is $25 less and besides, who covers a grill pan when it is grilling anyway?
PS: I'm glad I 'recycled' my 10+ pound Lodge, cast-iron grill to my weight-lifting son for Christmas! :o)

The ridges raise food so fats drip down and away from the food allowing for low fat grilling. A channel around the edge of the pan collects cooked-off fat. Great for grilling meats, fish, vegetables or sandwiches. Extra thick, heavy gauge, hard-anodized a
