What if you had one pan that could do it all? An innovative upcoming product from Chef Avenue is poised to break new ground in kitchen versatility thanks to its technologically advanced design. The Omnipan is capable of cooking, storing, marinating, and preparing foods, making it virtually the only pan your kitchen needs for most dishes.
A passion for cooking fuels the Omnipan design
The brilliance of the Omnipan stems in part from the designer’s background. Born in rural India to a devoted community doctor and a mother who loved to cook, Seema Shenoy was inspired to be creative from a young age.
After her father founded a hospital, patients would come from far and wide needing care. To keep the family strong during the challenges that come with having such essential medical skills, Seema’s mother would make wonderful dishes. She explains, “She had a zeal for cooking and would cook for my family and anyone whom she wanted to make feel special.”
With few cooking accessories and ingredients to choose from, Seema’s mother always succeeded in creating dishes that were both flavorful and substantial. “I still remember how our home was always filled with the mouth-watering aromas wafting from the kitchen and how all of us gathered around the tiny dining table to enjoy meals,” Seema shares.
“While my parents have since passed, I share their desire to bring joy and happiness through cooking. I want to make cooking more accessible and fun to everyone.”
As an adult, Seema became a passionate chef. For more than three decades, she’s lived in California. Among her favorite places to spend time has been in bookstores browsing through the cookbook section until she finds unique additions for her steadily growing collection. Every night, no matter how tired she is from the day, she watches cooking videos to master new techniques or flavor combinations.
Recognizing that modern families and cooks are often limited by not having enough time, space or the right pan to make exciting, creative dishes, Seema set about designing a pan that enables home chefs to wow their family’s taste buds with remarkable ease at every step of the cooking process.
Over twelve months, Seema and her California-based product testing team conducted a series of trials on a variety of materials and cookware designs. After an extensive review and assessment of the available options, the all-silicone Omnipan was born.
The Omnipan: Your new favorite kitchen accessory
With a high-performance, food-grade silicone base, the Omnipan is exceptionally easy to clean while offering an even cooking surface capable of crisping bread or caramelizing vegetables with ease.
The Omnipan comes as a ten-piece set with a variety of sizes, meaning it can be used for a large number of purposes. The Omnipan can be used to store frozen, cold or room temperature food, and it can cook dishes in the oven (up to 450° F) or the microwave. Storing leftovers has never been so easy as it is simply a matter of putting a lid on the pan and popping it in the refrigerator.
Start to finish, a single Omnipan can be used to marinate chicken, drain and cook the chicken, and then store the leftovers. When it’s all finished, cleanup is a snap thanks to the pans being dishwasher safe.
The modular design of the Omnipan set means that it’s a cinch to store it in a small space (or to have multiple dishes ready to heat in the refrigerator). The silicone pans can be stacked quickly and efficiently, and the lids are transparent for quick dish identification.
Seema designed the Omnipan in part with environmental responsibility in mind. Every year, there is increasing strain on the environment due to pollution, and so the Omnipan was developed around the idea of helping consumers reduce their ecological footprint. By adopting regular use of an Omnipan, it’s possible to completely eliminate using products such as plastic wrap, plastic bags, parchment paper, and aluminum foil.
Whether you’re cooking for one person or for a household, the Omnipan greatly simplifies the cooking process and can make takeout a thing of the past. Cooking exciting meals and multitasking is now entirely within the realm of the possible thanks to the efficiency of the single-pan concept.
In the spirit of her mother’s generosity with sharing her creations, anyone that purchases an Omnipan set will have the opportunity to cook using Seema’s own recipes.
The Omnipan cookbook and app
Using her established mastery of cooking a wide variety of cuisines, Seema will be releasing her first cookbook, featuring the Omnipan as a central cooking accessory. Seema’s dishes include ethnic favorites like chicken satay and broccoli beef, comfort classics like baked mac and cheese and Buffalo wings, and delectable desserts such as chocolate cake pops and galette with pears and plums. No matter the occasion, the Omnipan can make a suitable dish for it.
In addition to the upcoming cookbook, Seema and her team are working on an app for Omnipan users to browse through her large selection of recipes. Each recipe begins with a tantalizing picture and ends with a homemade dish from your kitchen.
Purchasing an Omnipan and using Seema’s cookbook or app is a surefire way to take a one-of-a-kind cooking adventure – all using a minimal amount of cooking accessories to do it!
Early backers will receive Omnipans
While the Omnipan isn’t available in stores yet, the innovative, patent-pending product will be available to early backers who help launch the product through an upcoming Kickstarter campaign in coming months. Everyone who contributes a certain amount to help get Omnipan off the ground will receive a complete set.
