When the guys from the cable company were here, yesterday, to move my service from the old apartment to the new one, they ran through the "auto program" to have my TV scan for all channels before I could tell them that I already had the channels set up the way I wanted them. So, this morning, I went through all the channels to set which ones should be kept and which should be skipped.
Since it was pretty early, some of the U.S. channels were running infomercials. One of them really prompted me to roll my eyes, but DID make me curious, so I'd be interested in hearing if any of you have seen it or have even tried the product.
The name of the product (which especially rolled my eyes) is "Orgreenic" cookware. Obviously, they are cashing in on the myrmidons of the "organic" and "green" crazes at the same time. Of course, my response to those is that hemlock is organic and green (also natural and herbal), but it didn't do Socrates one bit of good, but I'll put that aside to ask about the product.
What they are advertising is a collection of pots and pans that use some kind of ceramic coating, instead of Teflon, or the like. Of course, their pitch says it is "green and organic," and I think I even heard them say something like "not a chemical coating, but Mother Nature's ceramic." (Sheesh!)
The say these pots and pans are SO non-stick that even if something really burns badly, it will still fall right out of the pan and just need a quick wipe with a paper towel for clean up. Naturally, they also had the usual ridiculous demonstrations of that kind of claim, along with having one of their sauté pans run over by a car to show how tough it is. (Sheesh, again!)
This is certainly not the first infomercial to promote something for the kitchen, but sometimes, as ridiculous as the infomercials can be, the products MAY actually be worthwhile, so I'd like to know if any of you have any experience with this product and, if so, what you have thought about it. Is it great, or is it just another gimmick?

If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
