Fluffy Omelet - ManPans Review

Omelet

A few weeks ago ManPans and Paula from bell'alimento held a contest called "Show us your pans!"
The light bulb went off, my toss it pan!  My mother had purchased me this pan for my birthday, and to be honest.. the only place it should have been tossed was in the garbage!
Well, that was exactly what I did!  Then this contest came around a day later.. I was excited and thrilled the garbage hadn't been collected yet, so the hubby and I dug it out and snapped some pictures away.
It cooked unevenly, the handle got hot, and it served no purpose in the kitchen aside from taking up space.
I never purchased any other Teflon, Dupont, or any  (whatever you call those chemicals that I don't need on my cooking surfaces)..other coated pans in fear of the coating coming off.  I love that ManPan is PTFE free coating, and PFOA Free manufacturing!  (Eco Friendly!)

CRAPTASTIC pan!

I didn't win the big giveaway, but I still tossed this pan back in the garbage.  Who wants a pan that only cooks on one side? Not me!!
Then about a day or two later ManPans sent me a message saying my pan was sad, and they'd love to give me a pan so I can make omelets!! :)
I didn't tell them, but I jumped up and down screaming like a little girl - dreaming about holding the beautiful
handle..

Yes it's beautiful. I love the fact that it actually stays cool, but also warns you of the area that will be hot.   One thing I forgot to mention is how badly my previous pan burnt my hand.  I figured the food wasn't cooked how could the handle be hot? Thank goodness for ice packs! OUCH!

I was so excited to open the box, there it was in all it's shiny glory! I was sent the ManPans 10" Fry Pan and Lid.

It's super light as well! My previous pan was 3lbs of uneven cooking madness.  This weighs in under 1 1/2lbs!ManPans perfection.   

I also love that it's oven safe, up to 700 degrees!  
Oh and this seal of ECO friendly makes me smile with cheesy happiness.  I don't want chemicals in my food, let alone cook my food on them.  Planning a family, and even just for my own health and well being I feel that ManPans really cares about the consumer!

So what did I do as soon as I opened it?  Oh I washed it, warm soapy water!
Then I made an omelet. :)
Before using your ManPan you need to lightly coat it in Canola Oil, then wipe it around the pan using a paper towel. (Just to coat, not puddles!)

I loved that I could actually fit some homefries on the side!
(To make homefries, parboil some cubed potatoes, add to pan with a little oil and let cook until crispy. Sprinkle with paprika, pepper, and salt)
