Green Fry

Last year when I started learning about going green I read a great book called Echolic. I read this book specifically because it is a Canadian book with mostly Canadian resources in it. In it I learned a lot about things I was using that were not the best choices. There were many. Instead of taking on the whole book at once, I eliminated things in baby steps. One of the items was birth control pills (which I stopped taking right then and there) and the other was using my non-stick frying pan. I have gone all year using my regular frying pan. I hate that thing. It sticks, it smokes, it burns. I know I am probably not using it right and have been spoiled by non stick. I even avoid cooking something that requires a frying pan. I am getting good. 

I started using my cast iron frying pan. It sticks and smokes and burns. Long story short, I wanted a non stick frying pan again. For 2 nights now I have searched the city for a "green" version of a non stick frying pan. I finally decided on one from The Bay. I know what you might be thinking, I was not supposed to buy anything new. I have rules in place for just this situation. Somethings you have to buy new, for me one is underwear. The other is frying pans. I am pretty sure there are not "green" frying pans at Good Will yet. This is my reasoning anyway.

Here is what I bought: Eathchef

An 11" Skillet to be exact.

I had some reservations since it was made in China and I try not to buy things made in China as a rule. (I am a Capricorn and breaking rules never sit well with me even if they are my own rules.)

The plus was the price, if it sucks it was only $24.00 (it was on sale). You plant a tree in Canada through Tree Canada. It is guaranteed for life. It has no toxic chemicals, PFOA and PFTE free.

I will let you know how it works. I plan on finally making pancakes this weekend. My husband will argue and say french toast but we shall see.
