Orgreenic Ceramic Cookware

As you can see we got our Orgreenic cookware yesterday and I was so excited because we ordered it online from the Orgreenic website on Feb. 11th and received it on the 18th, we were expecting it in 2 to 6 weeks, now that’s fast service. Originally we were only planning on getting the TV special the 9 inch pan with the free gifts thrown in which was advertised for 19.99 or something like that and with shipping it came to 29.99 or somewhere around those prices.

After looking at the ridiculous high prices for just 1 pan way over one hundred dollars and close to 200 for the grill, Bill decided to buy the whole 16 piece set for 300 dollars. He had 2 options, the easy pay where they spread out the payments or pay the whole thing and get free shipping and handling which he chose and there were no taxes unless they were built in. All of our pots and pans are Teflon and all are in bad shape so we needed new ones anyhow and the ceramic cookware is healthier.

Unwrapping My Orgreenic Ceramic Cookware

Obie and I tore into the box, but it was packed so well that it took me awhile to get all the pieces out which were also wrapped with tons of tissue paper which I had to dispose of promptly because he wanted to shred it for me. After I got everything unwrapped the first thing I was suppose to do was to season my new Orgreenic ceramic cookware. So I rubbed the green part down with a light coating of vegetable oil and set the pieces on top of the stove on medium heat and watched and waited for them to lightly smoke, which they never did even after 40 minutes.

Sometimes I’m not very bright, but I always try to follow directions because I figure they know more than me about their product and I certainly didn’t want to mess them up on the first day. I saw the oil was turning brown, but they still weren’t smoking so I said that’s enough and removed them from the stove top. You were suppose to wait till they were completely cool and then wipe out the excess vegetable oil. Well, guess what? the oil wouldn’t wipe out it was stuck on.

I worked and worked to remove those little beads of oil, I knew they would come out eventually and I felt like an idiot explaining all of this to Bill when he came home and started helping me unscrew-up his brand new healthier eating  ceramic cookware. We were both impressed with the quality, they’re very sturdy and I kept my eye on that grill because I had my plans for it later. The first thing Bill did was to test and see if  it would fry an egg with no grease, it didn’t it got stuck.

The stuck on egg came out so easy that we were totally happy anyhow and I’m sure with more practice using the Orgreenic we’ll find easier ways to cook and figure out exactly what it can do. It’s suppose to have a lifetime guarantee so I’m quite sure we will be keeping it, that’s why I gleefully started pulling out all the old Teflon and stainless steel including lids and throwing them away. Of course we couldn’t part with our cast iron skillets because they’re great for baking cornbread.

Grilling Steaks

I couldn’t wait to try out the grill and I totally loved it and since I love steak that’s what I chose to try first. They grilled exactly the way I wanted them, but after looking at that grill I thought that is going to be a mess to clean so I decided to tackle it after we ate. The steaks were delicious by the way and there was very little smoke, I was happy not to hear smoke alarms which usually happens when I heat up other skillets.

Messy Grill

I grabbed a paper towel to remove the excess grease and debris from the grill thinking I would probably have to soak it over night, but to my amazement it wiped right off and I only needed to wipe one more time to remove the remaining oil that you can see below. So far I’m loving this Orgreenic ceramic cookware. I tried to find reviews about this product before we ordered and found one site that had some mixed reviews, but we decided to take a chance anyhow and I’m really glad we did. I’ll update this post after we use it for awhile.
