Grilling Fruits-Problem Solved

When we think of grilling, of course we associate typical food types like brats, hamburgers, ribs etc. but is this healthy? Everything in small doses I guess but, now grilling fruits have never tasted better grilled indoor/ outdoor on the PAN Grill-it

Grilling fruits prior using typical methods like the grill on your deck, would simply place nice sear marks on them or even worst, burn or char them. Not exactly healthy. So to find the tail end of this post and why the PAN Grill-it is the solution, it's as simple as this...


when HOT... food juices drop... STEAMS from below.. SEARS on the top. Basically, fruits are steaming in their own juices leaving fruit juicy and flavorful. Most importantly, it's not drying out all of the nutrients like typical grilling methods do.

Here's a peak at some granny green smith sprinkled with apple pie spice (nut-meg, cinnamon, lemon-peel, cloves etc).

 
Place a little Carmel to warm next to the apples in this little guy (3.5 Lodge skillet) 
Also works great for eggs, muffins, dipping sauces, cookies, garlic cloves more..
 
 
 
 
Customers have shared they have placed their grilled fruits in oatmeal, ice cream, deserts or use as a side dish for dinner.
 
Here are some grilled peaches sliced in spears and sprinkled with brown sugar. 
 
 
 

Pineapples, mangos, peaches, apples, cherries, peppers, zecatta, acorn squash. Where will this list end? When I'm done proving to the world that this product made here in the USA is the healthiest way to possibly grill ALL your favorite foods carcinogen free. Free of smoke, propane, gas, non-stick teflon coated poly-ethylene material found in most all indoor grills. 

Grilling with the PAN Grill-it provides small incremental amounts of iron to your diet. Which can help for that pick-me-up when your feeling tired or fatiqued.  Plus, the foods don't sit and saturate in thier own fats or juices like in typical grill pans. Instead they grill, sear and steam in their own jucies leaving you a warm tasty meal full of nutients and vitamins.

The PAN Grill-it is preseasoned and is ready for use. Simple care instructions; let cool, acrylic scrubbie, lightly oil, heat for 2-3 min. store in your oven.

The Babies have arrived! Now up for adoption

These babies are looking for a home. They just arrived at the warehouse today. Sure they are small and may seem impractical but there not. These 3.5"skillets are wonderful for these uses;

Eggs, warming butter or oil, sauces, caramel for grilled apples, garlic cloves sea-salt and olive oil, muffins, cookies. My favorite is the marmalade dipping for coconut shrimp on a skewer. Perfect for camping also.

But, when you first lay your hands and eyes on these little guys, you might want to use one for decoration or give as a gift. These are made by our good friends at Lodge Mfg. Made in USA.

On the PAN Grill-it website, they are offered in sets of two and have free shipping.

New Invention Sparks interest in Cast Iron Cookware

Since the launch of my invention; The PAN Grill-it last July 2011, I have received wonderful and valuable feedback. I thought I had all of the uses figured out until people started doing their own things with the product. Here are the uses and ideas to date; Indoor grilling, over a fire-camping, place over existing rusted grill grates at home or at the park. Place on flat-top commercial uses. Restaurants, bars, golf course clubhouse. Fits right on top of another American Made product called the Deadwood Stove. Bake and baste in the oven using a cookie sheet or brownie pan. Place in the bottom of Dutch ovens. Use instead of trivets. It provides greater lift so the food won't stick. Also, the cast iron will add additional taste to your meal.

If you own and use the PAN Grill-it and have a suggested use or grilling tip, I would love to hear your feedback.

Kitchen Table Time-Dinner Bell?


Making time for family, taking time to eat.  Who does this anymore? It’s a shame cause I recently was invited for dinner with friends and their kids. After saying Grace, they began a discussion with their kids asking them to each describe what the best part of their day was.  Then, their Mom and Dad chimed in. Then the conversation went full circle until it came to me. I said the best part of my day is this feeling I have right now.  Enjoying a great meal, spending time with great friends but most importanly making me realize just how special and powerful the dinner table really is.
My friend said to me that she received a dinner bell as a gift at their wedding. Since then, just having it present in and around the kitchen, reminds them everyday what it symbolizes and its power. Having shared this expereince, I thought this would be a perfect Christams gift. It’s simple, innexpensive, but more importantly it spotlights the importance of family and time spent together.

 

Happy Holidays!  
 
 

 

Cookware Buying Decisions- Critical Impact


I wasn’t till just last year, news reports went on a frenzy highlighting the dangerous health risks associated with cooking with non-stick cookware. The dangers are so much that the U.S government is mandating all companies that produce these non-stick cookware coatings and these products to change the chemicals they’re using by 2015. On high-heat , Teflon pans release at least six toxic gases, including two carcinogens, two global pollutants, and MFA, a chemical lethal to humans at low doses.

That’s pretty scary….their going to mandate a change in the chemical make-up to what other chemicals?  So then, how do they determine and regulate what’s safe, if it hasn’t been tested over time like the product Teflon.

But what’s worst, why is the government waiting till 2015?  These toxic pans come from oversea and make up more than half of our pans in the U.S. So it’s obvious what this is doing and will continue to do, to our planet when buried in landfills.

Waiting, wanting and wishing for this to change is rather silly. But, through reputable media channels and sources and buying USA Made cookware, we can make a huge impact on our overall health.  Cast iron cookware is and will always be my choice. It’s healthy plus, you melt it down, recycle and re-use. If your looking for a reason to explore cast iron cookware, you can find fun products and uses at PAN Grill-it Made in USA.
