My husband and I treated ourselves to some new kitchen gadgets for Christmas, and among our finds were some new Cuisinart knives for the kitchen.

The first time I used this one (see photo below), instead of chopping cabbage it was like I was slicing through melted butter.

Apparently, I’ve been using dull knives–FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS.

Not anymore, though, as I also got this.

Now I just need safety gloves, and I’ll be set!

I have to admit I’m intrigued by the new Martha Stewart Collection GreenPan™ Cookware sold at Macys.

According to the description, it’s a nonstick pan that uses a breakthrough nonstick technology called Thermolon™, which offers superior food release and performance, even at extreme temperatures. The pans are 100% non-stick, non-toxic, and oven-ready, up to 900 degrees.

GreenPan does not use Polytetrafluoroethylene (PFTE) (the chemical name for Dupont’s Teflon non-stick material), nor is it manufactured with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical used in the manufacturing of traditional Teflon-based non-stick coatings.

And according to the manufacturer, production of GreenPan cookware releases 50% fewer greenhouse-gasses compared to similar PTFE-based (Teflon) non-stick technology.

Want one of your very own? Get a GreenPan here.
