Non-toxic cookware is hard to find, but Xtrema makes it easy for you. It’s the only safe non-stick cookware available in the market as far as I know. It’s safe and healthy because all materials are inorganic natural minerals from the earth’s crust. It’s a company that I’ve been watching and looking forward to even before they had a pan out in the market. This cookware line cannot be scratched, it doesn’t peel, it’s healthy, and simply awesome. It’s made with ceramic and even the coating is made with 100% natural ceramic materials and it is environmentally safe. Another great fact is that the non-scratch ceramic cooking surface on the Xtrema cookware is non-reactive and 100% non-toxic. No odors or gases are ever released during the entire cooking process, even if the cooking temperatures exceed 2500 F. To clean, just do it like any other metal cookware with any kind of sponge you usually use, even the heavy duty ones!

Why is Teflon bad for you? Teflon non-stick pans are made with a chemical called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) which is known to increase infertility and some scientists say it may be more harmful to the environment and human health than DDT, a pretty impressive record to break. It is said that when a Teflon pan reaches around 446F it starts to offgas toxic particules, at 680F it releases six different toxic gases, two of them are carcinogenic, another two are global pollutants and one is MFA which is a chemical that’s lethal to humans at low doses.

Xtrema cookware takes 18 days to make from beginning to end, another few great things about them is that the surface resists bacteria and it won’t stain. It’s the next generation of pots and pans that are not only safe for you, but also for our planet. They have all kinds of pots and pans from bakeware to cookware, teaware and even sets of 3, 6 and 16 pieces. I got a beautiful wok and have been loving it ever since! All instructions on how to cook with it are at their website

One beautiful thing the founder, Rich Bergstrom, says at their website and that EcoBold agrees 100% is this:
“I truly hope and pray that the effort that we put forth and their results will both honor and glorify God.”

Well said Rich, I’m sure you already have many blessings coming your way!

There are a lot of brands which are being introduced into the market and more are being getting introduced these days. The competition is pretty tight in this field and people always prefer to have the best. They also get confused to get the right one they need. The same slogan is repeated by all telling that they are the best. This makes you even more confused. So it is always advised to decide about the purchase from house itself before stepping out to purchase kitchenware.

There are several questions to be depended upon before choosing a kitchenware. The question for how many people you cook would enable in determining the quantity of pots and pans and even the size of each of them. The next question that arises is about the food cooked by you often. Some may be make soups in large stockpots whereas others would never steam anything in stovetops as they use electric steamer. So by understanding the kind of food you cook it is easily possible for you to determine the kitchenware needed by you.

The most important thing to consider is the cleaning up process and how much do you prefer for that. If you go along with the cleaning process and like it then you could go for ordinary pans. But if it is a hell out then it would be pretty good to opt for non-stick cookware which would ease your cleaning process. There are certain easy cooking pots which help you to cook properly but cleaning those takes a lot of time and effort. Usually stainless steel is preferred by most of the professional cooks as it is light weight, less costly and even beautiful. But the only problem for the stainless cookware is that they are easy to work with but it is pretty difficult to clean them up.

Determining the type of stove also lets you finalize the kitchenware that is appropriate for you. This will let you know whether you need a flat bottom or round bottom pan. For all those latest induction cook tops, it is necessary to have ferrite in them which is magnetic in nature. The most important thing that determines your purchase is the budget. It was always recommended to buy the high quality cookware always as they are long lasting and also it only needs initial investment and then could be your soul mate for years to count.

The quality kitchenware lets you cook food faster and with ease. As you use most of the kitchenware every day it is very important to have them to be very comfortable to work with. The most important thing is to look for the weight and heft. The heavier kitchenware won’t warp over time and it is easy to control the heat in it too. Always look at the ductility of the pan. Never go for those which could be even slightly bend as they never stay long, always choose that kitchenware which makes you use for years.
