Let’s admit, that expensive new grill with its shinny new grill grate you just purchased looks inviting for some tasty vittles. However, after many uses it’s falling apart. Sure you care for it and go through several steel brushes to make sure the grate is clean, but it’s often the quality of the grate which ultimately shows its rearing face over time. Bottom line, most quality grills you buy can last you a lifetime but grates will not. They are often exposed to the elements and begin to rust and most cases fall apart. Americans spend millions of dollars on wire scrappers and scrubbers to remove rust. Truth be known you can scrape or scrub rusted grill grates till your blue in the face, but the rust will never go away and will continue to spread rapidly. The quick and easy way to get around the rust prior to knowing the health dangers of it, was to simply place tinfoil down over the grate.

 


Well…here’s an alternative; try placing the PAN Grill-it on the grate itself. Sure at first it feels like your double dipping and your thinking, why would I do such a thing? Think of your PAN Grill-it as your meal-ticket; It’s clean, pre-seasoned, its cast iron which of course does add trace amounts of iron to your diet, it savors the flavors of all of your grilling experiences and adds wonderful flavors to your food. Not to mention its a great conductor of heat.

 
I recently had some friends over to watch sports and grill. I had grilled NY Strips and T-Bones on the PAN Grill-it™ on my outdoor grill. As they began to eat, they all started a conversation as to what it was I seasoned the steaks with. I grinned and said nothing but a few throws of some Worcestershire blended with a tad of A-1. The steaks were simply just a wicked combo of flavors being released from past meals. I’m not saying our steaks tasted like the morning sausage and ham I grilled that morning or the halibut from the night before but, it’s something that any cast iron cooking enthusiast could attest to. I have bought many grilling and cooking utensils over the years. Many of which I thought were going to make cooking easier, more enjoyable and of course fun! However, most of them had too much hype and didn’t do what they said they would or were just poorly constructed pieces of usefulness. This is something that will last you a lifetime. is a new runner-up in the category of cheese and wine. It simply gets better with age and of course use. I encourage you to be the first amongst your friends and family and shock-taste their taste buds with this new innovated and healthier way of grilling.

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.

USA Made Grilling Product offers healthy alternative


The PAN Grill-it nestled inside of a 12"skillet




It's no secret these days that healthy eating has become a huge part of mainstream American life. Recent studies proven in a recent CNBC article show that "nearly two-thirds of all adult Americans are overweight and that child obesity is triple what is was a generation ago." Those numbers are absolutely staggering, and it's completely understandable as to why the dieting industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. With the health craze that is sweeping the nation and many people looking for anyway to get healthier, drop a few pounds or whatever else it is you're looking to do, you may wonder where a cast iron cookware fits in and how it can help you achieve those goals.

All of us are familiar with the cookware we use, and the explosion of non-stick cookware and other like-minded products. They are really convenient, cheap and the best part is that your food won't stick to your cookware when you're fixing up dinner. However, most people are unaware of the damages that come from cooking on such a material. The dangers are so much that the United States government is mandating all companies that produce non-stick cookware and these products to change the chemicals they're using by 2015. When heated up right on your own stove, non-stick pans release at least six toxic gases, including two carcinogens, two global pollutants, and MFA, a chemical lethal to humans at low doses. Not exactly happy with that convenience now, are you?

Enter cast iron. Iron is an essential part to staying healthy. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the United States, according to our own CDC. Iron is what carries oxygen from our lungs through our blood streams, it helps promote healthy digestion and it affects several of our organ functions. So it's obvious that iron is an absolute must in our dietary needs. But how do we acquire it with ease?

It's proven that cooking on cast iron can help your food absorb iron that gets into your bloodstream and can help with iron deficiency. It especially helps when you're cooking acidic foods, so say you're feeling a little fatigued and want to try to pick up your pace, why not just have yourself a little lunch and when you're cooking up a chicken breast to help stay lean, grill up some red or green peppers to go with it to give your body that little iron boost it needs and is also a great way to drop some pounds.

Some of the great benefits to making your life healthier with the PAN Grill-it and other supporting cast iron pieces, are using no oils, butter or those unhealthy sprays which contain GMOs, Isobutane, butane and more. Not to mention those sprays are bad for the environment. A well seasoned or pre-seasoned cast iron skillet or griddle is virtually non stick and will give you all the healthy benefits of not adding chemicals or extra fat to your foods. You won't find the coating on your non stick pans breaking off and cooking into your food and having your lean steak come with more than you bargained for. The benefits are all there. It's chemical free, it will immensely help your blood stream and overall health, and you won't be releasing all of those toxins and gasses into your home.

The PAN Grill-it, round griddle and skillets are safe for all stove tops. Also great on existing rusted grills at home, the park or campsite. Tin-foil no more.

PAN Grill-it: A nibble bit more info about his friends

 
PAN Grill-it (C)
 
If you have a 12” skillet already, your half way home. All you need is the PAN Grill-it. If not, I suggest the Lodge 10.5” round cast iron griddle. Its inner dimensions are perfect fit for the PAN Grill-it. It is 1/3 the weight of the skillets making it easier to move around. Plus, they are more universal for taking camping, to parks or elsewhere. They also work great right on outdoor grills or over the campfire.

The griddles by themselves, they are great for many uses like pancakes, fajitas stir-fry, baking pizzas. But together they do many things. For example, grill chicken, peppers and onions, use the tongs to pull out the PAN Grill-it then make BBQ Chicken pizzas. Often you'll find at stores pizza kits that are sold and packaged in two.


So what about the Lodge grill press? Do you need it with the other pieces?


 
PAN Grill-it (C)

The Lodge cool grip spiral handle is optional, but has many uses and benefits for grilling with the PAN Grill-it™
-Grill thicker cuts of beef, chicken burgers from both sides faster.
-Melt cheese in sandwiches, wraps or paninis.
-Flattens out bacon.
-Faster grilling time for larger meals when grilling for 3 or more people.

Warming the grill press is simple. Place directly on top of the PAN Grill-it™ while the initial warming. Check the handle after 5 minutes. When the handle becomes almost to warm to touch, the press and PAN Grill-it™ is ready to use.
