That large beautiful pan, used to make my Upside-Down Pizza, was manufactured by a company named Gastrolux. They are well known in Denmark as the makers of high quality non stick cookware. Now they are making their mark in the US. 
Because I'm a very active food blogger they approached me to ask if I would be willing to test their product. But that wasn't good enough for me...nooooo! I told the Gastrolux company that if I loved their cookware enough to blog about it that I would like for them to offer a free pan to one of my readers! They were so sure of their product that they agreed! And now I can see why because their cookware is extremely well made and designed!Gastrolux generously sent me their 12" diameter, two-handled, sauté pan! I decided to create this recipe using the pan so that I could see how well it performed on the stove top as well as in the oven! While sauteing the vegetables I noticed how evenly heated the large pan was, even though it overlapped the burner on my glass top range. The pan sizzled evenly from edge to edge! And the pan even preformed beautifully in the oven! All the edges of the pizza were evenly browned! The pan and lid can bake at temperatures up to 500 degrees F. Their single handled pans have detachable handles! A very cool feature for easy storage! And I love that the Gastrolux non stick coating is PFOA and PFOS free which means it doesn't contain any carcinogenic materials, as many other non stick cookware does. Now one lucky reader will get to have their own Gastrolux pan! All we need to do is get the word out by getting their new Facebook page at least 300 'Likes'!
