Product Review:Viva La Orgeenic Revolution??

Orgreenic Kitchenware is a company that brings ceramic coated sauté pans with the promise of eating healthier. The pan is nonstick, but not made with Teflon, and it is supposed to be all natural stuff casing the outside of each unit. It’s also supposed to be heavy duty and durable… This is an “As Seen On TV” thing, though it is newer than some stuff I have seen.

I first saw the product on tv about a month or so ago, about 5 in the morning while staying the night at my guy’s parents’ house. His mother actually came out into the living room while it was airing, and we were both kind of fascinated by what we saw… We discussed it later on, me being intrigued and incredulous at the same time. I don’t think I need to get into the whole thing about infomercials. I wasn’t aware that the infomercial stuck with her, but she apparently bought it between then and now.

She was getting ready to head for her vacation, and I was just about to get dinner started. I am helping to house sit right now, so she was listing off a bunch of stuff at the time, telling me what foodstuff was in the freezer and the pantry, what kind of stuff was in the fridge, and then told me I could use certain cookwares if I wanted. She showed me a few products she owned, three of which were things I have seen on infomercials. I had wanted to do a review on all three, but I will come to the other two with time.

So my first impression of the pan when I used it was that I liked it. I mean, it really is heavy duty. I picked it up and I was struck with how well balanced it was. It did not weigh my hand down like most pans of weight, but nor was it like picking up a cheap, aluminum thing that you find at any department store for about the same price. As far as the function, there was definitely some non-stick action. Once it was time to clean, though, it took a little bit of scrubbing, though not so much as to turn me off of the product. Overall, I like it and wish to own one. The price of one of these babies is less than $20. That, my friends and fellow foodies, is way worth it. For a pan with a celebrity label, you are paying at least twice, if not triple if you want the same kind of quality.
