Eco-friendly Earthpan II Skillet Review and Giveaway

I have been wanting to start replacing my cookware for eco-friendlier versions for awhile now.  So, I was pretty excited when I was asked to review and giveaway the Earthpan II skillets by CSNStores.com.

Earthpan II products are made with SandFlow Nonstick techology.  Their lab tests have shown it to last three times longer in standard tests compared to other green ceramic-based cookware.  They can be heated to 600 degrees which 25% higher than traditional nonstick pans. 

Great Green Features
Reduced Greenhouse Gases - Lower Carbon Footprint During Production
No Toxic Fumes
No PTFE
No PFOA

My Thoughts
I used the Earthpan II skillet to prepare both vegetables and fish.  I honestly was surprised at how much I liked the skillet.  My food was cooked evenly and did not stick one bit. 

We eat a lot of fish in our house, especially Tilapia which is my favorite.  Both my husband and daughter insisted it was the best fish I had ever made.  The only difference was the skillet.  Hmmm....I think I am sold!

The skillet is dishwasher safe.  Although, I prefer to hand wash my pots and pans and it came clean with no effort on my part.

Giveaway Dates
July 9 - July 23, 2010

Giveaway Details
I am giving away an eight-inch Earthpan II skillet to one of my lucky readers!

Win a copy of Be CentsAble: How to Cut Your Household Budget in Half!

As seen on Good Morning America and successfully adopted by thousands of subscribers, this easy-to-use system helps slash every household budget.


Now more than ever, people are desperate to save money without scrimping on every little purchase or sacrificing their lifestyle. Like most Americans, stay-at-home moms Chrissy Pate and Kristin McKee spent the lion's share of their budgets on what they assumed to be static costs such as groceries and utilities. But when using traditional couponing and cheapskate guides didn't help their budgets shrink by a dime, Pate and McKee decided to come up with their own way to save.
