If your dad is a would-be chef, and you are wondering what to buy your father this Father’s Day, you could not do much better than an item from the GreenPan collection. Of course, it would make a great gift whatever the occasion and not wishing to be sexist, for any woman who enjoys cooking as a hobby, rather than a chore. It is the gift that goes on giving.
I was lucky enough to be sent the 28x 28 cm grill pan, with its non-stick coating (PFSA- free), and best of all suitable for all and any hobs, oven and grill safe and even dishwasher safe.
From the moment you open the package, it looks and feels like quality. It is sturdier, better balanced and dare I say that it also looks good.
To quote the makers, ‘the GreenPan Barcelona Pro Collection features the latest PFAS-free Thermolon™ Infinite8 ceramic non-stick coating with ScratchGuard™ for ultimate non-stick performance and amazing durability.The BalancePro™ base, stays perfectly flat when heated which means you can use less fat and the Pro-Tec reinforced rim won’t chip when tapped with a spoon.’
The Barcelona Pro Grill Pan RRP £90 (28cm) is not cheap, but then it doesn’t look or feel cheap, and it will have pride of place in my kitchen for some time. Already, it has become my go to pan, it is called Pro for a reason.
I tried it with vegetarian beef burger, sausages, aubergine, courgettes, carrots and used it under the grill and in the oven. Perfect results and yes, the pan is easier to clean. Although if it is a Father’s day gift, Dad should not be washing up, and as it is dishwasher proof you could slip it into the dishwasher and simply claim the credit.
