Page 2 of 13 Review & Giveaway: Xtrema Ceramic Cookware If you would lik p I can almost bet if your mom is anything like me she's about due for some new cookware. I still have a cupboard full of outdated, worn cookware, some Teflon coated, some aluminum & some coated in some other unknown substance. Yes I also have those pans where the "nonstick" surface has literally come off. It never occurred to me that maybe some of that "non-stick" stuff is coming off in the food I am cooking - yuck! The more I read and learn the more worried I become about all the things I am doing that is actually harming my family without even realizing it. No wonder people are always sick and coming down with new strains of this and
Page 3 of 13 I've read about how plastics have been leaching crap into our food when we heat our food up in them, and serve our babies formula. So I switched - we now make sure our children use BPA free and better yet they drink from stainless steel or glass whenever possible. Then I started reading about how all the "non-stick" stuff on our pans and bake ware comes off in our food, and about toxic gases being released from our 'coated' cookware. The leaching of metals into our food from out pots and pans - holy cow - so what alternative do we have. I mean some foods do have to be fried, baked, roasted etc. so we have to use something. So that led me to my search for "safe" cookware. It took awhile but I found some!

Page 5 of 13 So it all sounds too good to be true - how did the pan actually perform? I was offered the 10" skillet to review. www.zennioptical.com. eyeglasses for only$8 an Get advertisers to My MyLikes is a word of m advertising platform tha great! Get some Comment Like th Kimberly Bartlett's powered b When the skillet arrived I was very excited to take a look at this revolutionary cookware. Here are the things I loved about the pan on my initial inspection: good weight - heavy but not overly heavy loved the glossy black finish loved that the handles are molded to the pan, they can't come loose over time and fall off. really loved the depth - yes it's a 10" skillet but it's nice and deep - perfect for family cooking So you know me I have to give it a go right away! I decided to cook up some toasted western sandwiches for lunch. You know you fry up some bacon, onion, mushroom, green pepper and once that's all cooked you add some egg and scramble it in. Then make toasted sandwiches with the egg mixture as the filling. Click Here For M Free Sweepstakes Contests
Page 6 of 13 More Contests at O Sweepstakes There are specific instructions for cooking with your new pans. They tell you that you should heat your pans for one or two minutes at medium heat to heat your pans up. After that you are told to turn them down because they retain heat for a longer period of time - thus you are actually saving energy by using these because you can cook at a lower heat. I found with my type of stove - I have solid cast iron burners - it took a little longer than the one or two minutes for the pan to heat up to a good temperature but once it reached a decent temperature I was able to turn it down and maintain that temperature. After that, the pan cooked like any normal pan. I didn't
Page 7 of 13 the pan left from frying the bacon. So I put the pan to the big test and just left it sitting after lunch. The egg hardened to the pan as I suspected it would - I wanted to see how well it cleaned up. When I did the dishes after dinner I was totally impressed. The pan wiped completely clean - no scrubbing required! With any of my other pans I would have needed some type of an abrasive to get that stuff off. I have used the pan many times since and have had the same results every time. The company says you can use any cleaner you would normally use on your pan like SOS pads, Comet etc. and you cannot scratch the surface. That's another huge plus in my book. All in all I am very impressed with the pan. It did take me a slight adjustment period to learn to cook with it properly; like preheating and cooking at a lower temperature but now I'm cooking just like it were one of my every day pans. I use it whenever I possibly can and have thrown out my worn out, old fry pan. The Xtrema cookware & bakeware is now on my list of must-haves. Here's what's on my list to get first (kids if you're paying attention this would be an awesome Mother's Day Gift!) 16pc set
