PAN Grill-it- A Healthy Alternative for Grilling & Cooking your meals Indoor/ outdoors


Cookware Types & Choices…

There are three main types of cookware commonly used; stainless steel, coated non-stick, and cast iron. Coated non-stick cookware was once considered convenient for it’s fast easy cleanup. However, we know now the chemical make-up of the sprays are extremely harmful to our health. Not because they flake off but, they turn to a toxic gas form after 200+ degrees and those gases or toxins are absorbed into foods. Stainless steel cookware is great but, where back to the oils, butters and sprays which is why we moved towards non-stick cookware; to eliminate the fats. So, what about cast iron? 

Your meal ticket…

The PAN Grill-it™ is the healthiest was to cook or grill your foods. It is your meal ticket to explore or use again your cast iron cookware. Prior to 2004, we all know that cast iron needed to be seasoned to function properly and was considered a task. The seasoning was a process that done to achieve a black patina (shinny non-stick surface) from cooking in fats and oils. Now USA Made cast iron is preseasoned with a vegetable oil baked on at high heat and is ready to use.
 
 

Why is it healthy?

The food juices drop, steaming from below and searing on the top. The foods nutrients and vitamins are reabsorbed and contained. Foods always stay moist and flavorful. Because there is a natural non-stick surface already, you DO NOT USE vegetable oil, sprays or butter. These all have a low smoke point temp and can burn up and smoke at high heat.

 
Caring for your PAN Grill-it™ and cast iron is simple…..

 When cool, simply apply a stiff brush or acrylic scrubbie over the sink or garbage can removing charred food pieces. Then add regular table salt into the skillet or griddle, add some extra virgin olive oil or an oil with a high smoke point. i.e sunflower, peanut. Warm the skillet or griddle on medium for two minutes. Then wipe clean with paper towel. Lightly rub oil on PAN Grill-it, warm for 2 minutes on medium. Should you use soap and water to clean food pieces, be sure the water temperature is hot or cold depending on the same temperature of the cookware. Then, immediately towel dry and store in the oven.
