普羅旺斯的天空下 Living in Provence

我終於買了我的第一個GreenPan不沾鍋...對此不沾鍋還不是很認識的讀者可以上它們的網站看看。
(日後有機會, 再來詳細介紹此鍋的特點)

我第一次注意到這個鍋子是在這裡的一個電視節目Top Chef, 約在2009年底、2010年初。從那時開始, 我斷斷續續的從網上搜尋有關知訊。想換鍋的主因是想將一批跟著我5年多的法國Tefal不沾鍋淘汰掉。

上星期我收到Amazon.fr的網購七折特會, 所以就決定買一個GreenPan來試試看。那時我還在猶豫要買哪一個系列; 我非常喜愛Dubai White的設計, 但是它的設計中有一些鍋子並不適合我的需求, 所以我最後決定買Stockholm系列, 因為此系列的所有鍋子較符合我烹調上的需求。兩天後我收到我的GreenPan...它真的是非常漂亮!  我讀了它的使用說明書, 並按照說明試鍋; 我只能說Tefal的鍋子很棒, GreenPan更棒!!

以下是我使用了GreenPan, Stockholm 系列後的個人心得:

-  此不沾鍋, 吸熱和導熱非常的有效率
-  如以下圖片所示, 我只用了一點點的油來煎魚

-  就不沾鍋的層面上來說, Tefal的鍋子表現佳, GreenPan的鍋子簡直就到了完美的境界並且非常容易操作

-  清理的部分更是讓我驚訝:  油漬非常輕易的就可以用軟的海綿清除掉, 我原以為必須用軟的海綿洗兩次, 因為Tefal鍋有時會需要這樣但是GreenPan真的一次就足夠了

過去幾年我一直都是Tefal不沾鍋的愛用者, 而Tefal不沾鍋也非常的盡其職。會想要慢慢開始轉換我的鍋具, 有一部分是因為GreenPan在環境保護上意識的支持, 就我個人而言, 我意識到全球暖化所以希望可以在愛做菜的同時也做一個盡責任的消費者。

我認為正牌的GreenPan(比利時製作的)價格上還有一點貴, 但是購買一品質佳的廚具對我來說就像是一種投資, 目前我非常滿意我的第一項投資同時也蠻確定我會陸續投資。

GreenPan Original - Stockholm Collection

Finally bought my first GreenPan the other day.  For people who are not so familiar with GreenPan, please visit their website for more information.

I first noticed this pan from my favorite TV program, Top Chef here in France.  It was around the end of 2009 and 2010.  I have been searching online to get more information about this pan.  Mainly because I want to slowly replace my previous Tefal pans and saucepans as some of them had been with me for more than 5 year.  

Last week, I received a 30% discount from Amazon.fr and decided to get one of these GreenPan to give it a try.  I hesitated between the Dubai White and Stockholm collections.  I adore Dubai White's clean design but some of the pans in this collection are not quite to what I had in mind.  I decided to go with the Stockholm collections as the entire range seems to meet my requirments.  Two days later, my first GreenPan Stockholm series arrived and it is just beautiful!!  I read and followed its care & use instructions and gave it a try.  All I can say is, "Tefal is great; GreenPan is TOP."

Here is my personal notes after using my first GreenPan Stockholm series:
-  The frying pan absorbs and distributes heat efficiently.  
-  As seen in pictures, only as little as a drop of oil was needed to pan-fry the salmon filets.  
-  On the non-stick side:  Tefal does its job perfectly; GreenPan does its job beyond perfection and extremely smooth to handle.
-  It was surprisingly easy to clean - The grease came off very easily with only a soapy soft sponge.  I first though I might need to wipe it twice as it does happen on some Tefal pans but there was no need.

Over the years, I have always been a Tefal user and their pans really do the job.  The thought of switching my cookware slowly also had to do with the fact of GreenPan's eco-friendly concept.  Personally, I am aware of the climate change and would like to be a responsible consumer while enjoying cooking.

I find the original GreenPan (made in Belgium) can be a bit pricy but buying a decent cookware is like an investment for me.  I am satisfied with my first investment and pretty certain will go with more.
