Review - Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Mill / Grinder

**I have bought this product with a huge discount in exchange of my honest review.

I already own a salt and pepper mill but it is just a small one and has 2 compartments in the jar to separate the salt and the pepper. I actually like to use a different mill for each. These stainless steel salt and pepper mill is a good choice. From the photo on the product's description in Amazon, it looks small but it is actually not. The glass container itself is about 3 and 1/2 inches so you can put a lot of pepper or salt inside the big container. And because it has big container, it can hold many salt, pepper and other spices you want to grind!

I also like the fact that it has a cap so the metal grinder doesn't get mixed with dust or other environmental elements. The caps keep the spices free from humidity keeping them fresh. The caps are also stainless steel lined with rubber fitting for an air-tight coverage. It is easy to flip open just pull the cap from the grinder head and you're good to go.

It is also easy to replenish the stock inside. You just twist the stainless steel grinder head from the glass container and you can refill as you wish or fill to the brim. Operating is quite easy and fast too. As most pepper and salt mills, you just turn clockwise and fine pepper or salt comes. The rotor is made of ceramic so you don't have to worry about rusting.

I like the freshly ground pepper and salt from these mills because they are not so fine and yet they are not course, texture wise. The salt even comes out as flakey which is good as per my family's preference.

I really do like these mills. It is better than the one we have at the moment which is small and have very limited storage capacity for the spices.

This product is available at Amazon.

Review - 8" Green Earth Pan by Ozeri

My husband and I have been mulling over changing our frying pans to more efficient ones. I am very pleased to receive the 8" Green Earth Pan by Ozeri because we had a trial run about the non-stick performance of the pan compared to the previous Teflon pans we have.


What I like:

What I instantly noticed about this frying pan is the textured surface on the shape of hexagons like that of a beehive.

The non-stick properties of this ceramic pan is really superb! I fried a sunny-side up eggs without using any oil so I can test it's non-stick performance and I was impressed. I usually pour a small amount of olive oil on my teflon pan when I fry sunny-side up eggs because even when I don't use oil, parts of the fried egg still gets stuck on the pan. The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is very effective on that part.

The food cooked a bit faster compared to when I use our other pans. I cooked corned beef in the morning and noticed that I finished in less than 5 minutes and it is a bit longer than that using the same sized ordinary frying pan and cooking the same amount of corned beef too.

The pan is not coated with harmful chemicals such as PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE) which is a known to release very harmful chemical at high temperatures. It also does not contain PerFluoroOctanoic Acid (PFOA) which is known as a pollutant to the environment.

The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri uses Greblon, a coating developed by Weilburger GmbH from Germany which is a ceramic coating derived from nature.

The 8" size of the pan is enough to use for frying smaller food like eggs, bacon, sausages, small serving of stir fry veggies.

I like the sturdy silicone handle which is also heat-resistant.

This pan can be used on induction ovens.

It is very easy to clean as the patterned surface helps prevent food from sticking.

It has a free thick felt pan cover so the surface won't get scratched when accidentally placed on top of another pan.

What I don't like:
Nothing. I am very satisfied with the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri's performance. It did not disappoint me at all.


Packaging:
It is packaged in a small cardboard box with cut-out window on the front to show the patterned non-stick surface of the pan and another cut-out window at the back to show the back part of the pan. It also came with a thick green felt so use when you want to stack it on top of another pan without accidentally damaging the surface.


Price:
This 8" pan costs $79.95 in a set of 3 (8", 10", and 12") in Amazon  and FREE Shipping (details in Amazon site)


My recommendation:
I highly recommend this product. I like how it is not heavy and how fast it gets heated and evenly too. I also like that it does not contain all those harmful chemicals which can seep into our food when cooked at high temperature. This is a great product to have and use at home.
