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?

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.

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.

Please come by and visit stay awile and learn more about this amazing new all seasons indoor/ outdoor grilling tool that will last forever and provide for a healthier alternative.

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.
