copper chef

For this recipe I use the Copper Chef which is an all in one pan where you can bake, fry, broil, saute, steam & braise your food. It is non-stick and can withstand heat up to 850° degrees so you can take it right from stovetop to oven. I love that the Copper Chef is 100% chemical, PTFE and PFOA free and is safe for my family. It has extra deep sides so it makes it easy to use as a roasting pan, baking dish and more.

copper chef pan clean up

The non-stick is made with a Cerami-Tech coating,a new generation of healthy ceramic non-stick technology so nothing will ever stick to your pan. Check out that after shot of cooking the pepper steak. All I did was rinse the residue from the meal and it came right off. No scrubbing was involved! The Copper Chef is also dishwasher safe so you don’t even have to rinse if you don’t want to and just throw it in the dishwasher.

The Copper Chef can be used for any surface – electric, gas, ceramic and induction. Now you can prepare, cook and serve in one large capacity family size pan! In addition to the 9 1/2″ square pan you also get a tempered glass lid, steam & roast rack, fry basket and recipe book.

    This may be good but it’s not PF Changs pepper steak which has no broccoli or carrots and contains Green and red peppers….not much of a COPYCAT recipe….
