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.
Hi there, Anna! We're happy to hear that you have found our Classic Skillet to be a great alternative to cast iron. Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope you continue to enjoy cooking with our product! :)
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!
Thank you, Gina, for your review on our Dutch Oven. We hope it continues to serve you well for many years to come. Happy cooking!
Love these pots, easy to clean and the food taste great.

I love my new pots and pans. They are so durable and cook food so evenly. They wash up well also.
Thank you, Jennifer, for taking the time to leave a review for our Signature Series Set. We also love that they wash up well - makes clean up a breeze. Happy cooking! :)
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 !
Hi there, Liz! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're thrilled to hear that your step dad loves his new grill pan. Happy cooking!
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!
Thank you, Kindra, for taking the time to leave a review for our Versa Pan! It's always great to have less dishes to clean up afterwards! We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy using our product.
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.
Hi there, Stephanie! Thank you so much for your review of our Retro Tea Kettle. We hope you continue to enjoy using it for many cups of hot tea. Cheers! :)
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!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our Signature Skillet and saucepan! We're thrilled to hear that you love your purchases and that they are working well for you. It's great to know that the nonstick effect is almost perfect and that cleanup is a breeze. We appreciate your feedback about the size of the saucepan and will definitely consider offering a 3 qt option in the future.
We also agree that our cotton handle cover is a must-have addition. Thank you for choosing Xtrema, and happy cooking!
The Versa Pan is amazing - perfect size for a meal.

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

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!
Hi there, Lisa! Thank you for the review. We are so glad to hear that our Signature Sauté Set has exceeded your expectations and made cooking your eggs a breeze. Happy cooking! :)
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!

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.

Xtrema cookware is hands down the healthiest, highest quality products out there but their customer service is even better! They accidentally sent me the wrong cookware package and after I emailed them the pictures of what arrived in error, they promptly sent the missing pieces and let me keep the ones that arrived that I didn't order. Top notch service, with a smile!

This cookware is great! I needed to move away from stainless steel cookware and this was a great solution for me. I've had it about a year. Yes, it did take a little learning to use it and it does take a little longer to heat up compared to metal cookware but I now use that time to prep food. I felt the cost was reasonable for the pieces I purchased.

I found out my daughter has a nickel allergy so I purchased the 12 in Versa pan to cook all her food in. It’s so easy to use and to clean. I have seen a big improvement in her skin since switching the cookware (and certain foods).
