Eco Chef Frying Pan by Evan Orensten
Organic and sustainable foods have firmly positioned themselves in kitchens across the globe. When it comes to green cooking equipment, however, there's plenty of room for improvement. One step in the right direction is the Eco Chef Frying Pan. It's made from 99% recycled aluminum which conducts heat faster than conventional pans, decreasing heating time by 20%. It also features a non-stick surface that doesn't employ any harmful chemicals (most notably the harmful carcinogen PTFE that's found in Teflon-based cookery), and features a bamboo handle.
The Eco Chef is currently available in one size (26cm) and comes with a three-year warranty on its non-stick coating. You can buy one for $50 on the Starfrit website.
