I have several good quality regular surface skillets. A 8 inch, a 10 inch, and a 12 inch. They are made by Wear Ever, and are restaurant quality. I also have a couple nonstick skillets as well, I have a Wear Ever 8 inch skillet that I bought 4 or 5 years ago. Maybe longer. I think the surface is Silverstone. I recently bought a 12 inch Wear Ever skillet. It has the newer Ceramiguard II nonstick surface. And today I bought a 10 inch Wear Ever skillet also with the Ceramiguard II nonstick surface.
Nonstick skillets are almost a must for low fat cooking. With regular surface skillets, you have to use oils to keep the food from sticking. But with the nonstick surfaces, you can use little of no oil for cooking. Often with the nonstick skillets, I can get away with a short spraying cooking spray.
The 10 inch skillet with come in had for various things. For example I made omelletes this morning. I made two, one after the other in the 8 inch non-stick skillet. If I had the 10 inch skillet that I just ordered, I could have made one larger omelette, and then cut it into two parts. I get lots of use from my skillets! And the new non-stick surfaces are tough. They recommend hand washing, but I have been washing them for years in the dishwasher with no problems!
Every once in a while I get a craving for cinnamon toast. I don’t eat it very often, but just every once in while. Today was one of those days. I was busy running on my treadmill, and suddenly wanted something to eat. And cinnamon toast popped into my head. So I made a low fat version of it. While it is low-fat, it has a bunch of sugar on it, so it is probably not real low-calorie. So would eat it alot. But if you get a craving for cinnamon toast, this version is healthier than spreading a bunch of softened butter on to your toast.
Ingredients:
2 slices bread
2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
buttery spray (such as Olivio Buttery Spray)
Directions:
Mix sugar and cinnamon in small cup.
Spray one side of each slice of bread with about 5-6 squirts of buttery spray. Toast bread to preference.
Sprinkle sugar/cinnamon mixture on to buttered side of bread. Enjoy.
