Great for sautéing and smaller meals!

Great feeling to stop the metals leeching into my meals. After many lectures to get rid of “unhealthy” cookware, Extrema seemed appealing. Glad I gave it a try; worth the extra effort. I use it for my oven baked steak fries. Can’t wait to use for oven-seared steaks!

I like the clean non toxic ceramic. Good quality pan and cleans up very easily! Will buy more in the future!

Heats nice and steady. Easy to clean and very versatile for many foods.

After extensive research, we believe that Xtrema is the best non-toxic cookware available. We considered ceramic lined pans - but they are more fragile and will eventually scratch thru revealing the metal interior of the pan and releasing toxins from those metals into foods being cooked. We love the Versa pans! No clumsy pan handles on the stove top and they do double duty as bakeware as well. We purchased 1 piece to see if we liked it and after giving it a try, we replaced all of our pots and pans with Xtrema.

I’m a cast iron lover but I wanted something easier for my kids to clean. My dad also suffers with high iron levels and has been recommended to stop using cast iron (something my mom is loathed to do). I took the pans to their house for a couple months and she’s hook. Great great pans though there is a learning curve to using them if you’re used to steal.

I've baked sourdough bread in it twice so far and am currently making spaghetti sauce in it....low and slow for 12 hours. It's light but very sturdy. Very pretty too! I like the design of it and its shape means I can put both oval and round loaves in it. It's going to get a LOT of use in my kitchen!

Love these pots, easy to clean and the food taste great.

Love these, easy to clean and non toxic

I love my new pots and pans. They are so durable and cook food so evenly. They wash up well also.

My step dad likes to cook and these pans were on his Christmas list. All I can say is he’s texted me multiple times about how great they are…I think that says it all !

The Versa 12inch pan is so incredible. It’s so versatile and makes cooking so much more streamline as you can go from stove top to oven and have so many less dishes! It evenly cooks making everything delicious!

I totally love this tea Kettle. The lid has a good design with the twist latch and then the pour spout is open. The water gets hot very quickly.

I purchased a 7" signature skillet and a 3.5 qt saucepan. I have nickel sensitivity, so I wanted to try an alternative to stainless steel. I use the skillet everyday for 2 scrambled eggs cooked in butter (it fits up to 4 eggs with limited room to flip around), and I'm usually able to achieve an almost totally nonstick result. And when I don't get the nonstick effect quite right, the skillet cleans up so easily. I just soak it in dawn soap and hot water for a few minutes and then scrap it with a plastic scraper before washing.
The saucepan is large for 3.5qt. I wish they offered 3 qt, but I still love it. Way lighter than an enamel coated cast iron pot! And the handles on both of these products are PERFECT. Definitely get the cotton handle cover too!

The Versa Pan is amazing - perfect size for a meal.

These are truly great skillets thank you

Love the look of the pots & use it like my other metal pots.

Happy that it’s toxin free I use it in my air fryer/toaster oven and it’s going to be useful in the oven as well

All your products are fantastic. They cook evenly and taste wonderful.

The best frying surface! My eggs never slid off this easy before, even with other "non stick" skillets. And the most important is non toxic part!

Liked! Good product

Great!

I've had wooden utensils all my life, and these are by far the nicest ones I've used. They feel great in the hand and are super easy to clean. I also love the variety of this set and that they come with a holder!

I reached out to the company about my order and they reached out promptly with details about the care of the product and they are sending me a replacement according to their policy. I am enjoying my new clay pots very much from Xtrema.
Thank you for creating a non toxic cooking method!

This order was a replacement under warranty for the pan I purchased 11 months ago. I absolutely would buy these pots and pans again, during major sales (eg. Black Friday sale).

Pros: Does not leach metals like stainless steel. Does not leach chemicals like non-stick options. Best option, imo, outside of cast iron. Unlike cast iron, handle stays cool on stove top (providing the handle is not directly above a hot, uncovered burner).

Neutral: Cooking methods are similar to stainless steel. Hot pan, cold oil. Exception, must thaw meat.

Cons: Additional time is needed for cooking. I will say it again, Additional time is needed for cooking. It is necessary to pre-heat the pots and pans on low. (ie.Turn on low, wait to preheat, then crank temp up to medium, wait to preheat, then add thawed meat (never frozen), etc). They also take longer to heat food. Which is the flip side of having a cool handle. Soup for instance will take additional time to heat the added liquid, then heat the sides of the pan.

Notes: These pots and pans are NOT as durable as Steel or Iron. However, I did not list this as a con. Because I am accident prone. Despite handling these with care, I still manage to hit one on the counter edge and dropped a bowl on another. Praise God, non of my pans have chipped or cracked due to this. So I would say they are durable enough. Still take care to not drop or hit them as they are ceramic. But in my experience they are not entirely fragile either.

Metal cannot be used to cook or clean on these pans. I did not list this as a con as bamboo or silicone can be used to cook. For cleaning I soak the pan in hot water (take care to warm the pan if your hot water tank is cranked up to scalding as mine is). Then use a plastic free stiff bristle brush. Sometimes I use a little baking soda or a Norwex Counter Cloth. Thus far, everything has come off with out issue.
