Pros of Extrema Cookware

1. Non-Nonstick

  • Not coated with Teflon or similar chemicals (PFOAs).
  • Avoids health risks such as cancer, thyroid issues, infertility, and ADHD.
  • PFOAs are bioaccumulative and restricted in the EU.
  • Prevents contamination of healthy, organic meals with toxic chemicals or metals.

2. Non-Leaching

  • Each batch is third-party tested for cadmium and lead.
  • Test results are published publicly for transparency.
  • Meets and exceeds California Prop 65 requirements.
  • No risk of metal leaching as seen with copper cookware.

3. Durability

  • Made of solid ceramic, unlike ceramic-coated cookware.
  • Comparison: Solid gold vs. gold-plated jewelry.
  • No risk of aluminum exposure, which is linked to Alzheimer's.
  • Eco-friendly due to reduced need for replacements.

4. Heat Retention

  • Retains heat effectively, saving energy.
  • Recommended to preheat on low with cooking oil (e.g., grass-fed organic ghee).
  • Ideal for cooking and serving due to prolonged heat retention.

5. Versatility

  • Wide range of products available (skillets, pots, pans, etc.).

Cons and Considerations

1. Heaviness

  • Weighs more than aluminum or stainless steel cookware.
  • Not ideal for those unable to lift heavy cookware.

2. Preheating Requirement

  • Requires gradual heating; not suitable if immediate heating is preferred.

3. Fragility

  • Ceramic can break or heat shock.
  • Mindfulness needed to avoid sudden temperature changes.
  • Dropping can result in breakage.

4. Non-Nonstick Surface

  • Requires more effort to clean.
  • Food may stick if not preheated properly or if cooking cold items.

5. Susceptibility to Scratching

  • Must avoid metal utensils to prevent scratching.
  • Recommended to use pure solid wood utensils.
