8" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri

     This is a big frying pan with a silicon covered handle, so you won't burn your hands. The handle is long, so you also don't have to worry about putting your hands too close to the heat. The pan is made from German technology and was assembled in China. The inside of the pan has a beehive design. You don't have to use butter or cooking spray, unless you just want it for the flavor because this pan is 100% nonstick. It green on the outside, black on the inside and steel on the bottom of the outside. It comes with a green felt cover to protect the pan as well.

     This cover is to push down on the inside of the pan to protect it. You can also buy a lid for this pan, but it is sold separately. They come in different sizes as well. I really like the size of this pan though because I can cook so many things in it. Another great thing and probably my favorite thing about this pan is that it has equal heat distribution. I've used a large pan trying to cook two grilled cheese sandwiches and they'll come out two different colors because one will get more heat than the other. With this pan, I can put any food anywhere in the pan and it will cook thoroughly.

     Someone put butter in this pan when they didn't believe that the box said nonstick. The butter made the food taste great, but it wasn't needed to keep the food from sticking. Although this is a wonderful pan to use, I do have to let you know that you have to clean it differently than you would other pans. You can't just use soap and water or you will have leftover food starting to stick and you won't be able to clean it off.

     Don't let that discourage you, though. Someone told me that if you put in a tablespoon of powdered dish-washing soap into the pan with water and boil it, the pan will come out fine. You can't just scrub it out or use any of your normal tricks to clean it, but the way to clean it is easy enough that you should seriously consider using this pan.

This pan is worth it if you just adjust how you clean it because it takes the same amount of time to clean it any other way. You can eat food in a healthier way and not have to worry about if part of your food is overcooked or under-cooked. It's a large pan and I made chili in it the other day. Those eggs in the pan cooked up nice and fast, tasted great and slid out of the pan without a spatula. I received this product free in exchange for my honest review.
