10" Skillet - Ceramcor Xtrema Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While searching for a healthier alternative to metal cookware, and especially (toxic) teflon, I found Xtrema Ceramic Cookware.I didn't purchase it through an Amazon seller, so I can't rate the seller.I bought mine at ceramcor(dot)com with free shipping.But since I saw this cookware here at Amazon, I thought I would give it a review.

So far I purchased the 5.5 quart covered saucepan, the 12 in. covered skillet and the 10 in. skillet.The 10 in. skillet doesn't come with a cover, but the 5.5 qt saucepan cover fits it perfectly.This cookware only took me a couple of meals to get the hang of.My husband and I absolutely love it!When stovetop cooking, we learned fast that it heats up real quick and only needs the medium heat setting or lower... especially if you cook without the cover.When your food is done cooking you want to remove the cookware from the burner because your food will continue to cook as the heat is retained for a long time, which is perfect for setting it on the dinner table if you want to keep your food hot.My first experience was not good.Being used to cooking with high heat (for only a few minutes) before lowering the temp, I over-cooked my meal and it stuck pretty badly to the pan.I soaked it overnight with warm water and dish liquid and it cleaned up just like a teflon pan, no kidding!Needless to say, they clean up like a breeze when you're "not" burning anything, lol!It has a non-scratch, non-toxic ceramic glaze surface.You can use brillo pads on these and they won't scratch, but so far I've only needed a regular kitchen scrub sponge.This cookware can be used in the oven, stovetop, broiler, freezer, grill, microwave and dishwasher... very versatile! What I love best about this cookware is using the cover when cooking on the stovetop.Because the cover is the same material as the pan, your food cooks like a covered casserole in the oven.

This is a long review (sorry!), but just a quick mention... tonight (on the stovetop) we cooked chicken breasts with peppers, onions and garlic with the cover on- at the last few minutes of cooking time I tossed in 3 large, sliced, sweet potatoes (with cover back on) and they cooked super fast, were tender and absorbed all the flavors... no need to cook your potatoes separately!Next time, along with the potatoes, I'll toss in some greens, too, saving me the hassle of cooking with so many pots and pans.

This cookware is expensive, but other than being durable and long-lasting, if you read all the health benefits at the website I mentioned above, you'll agree that it's a healthy investment.I'll never go back to aluminum (which is known to cause alzheimer disease) or toxic teflon... which, btw, if you have pet birds please do not cook with teflon.The fumes are so toxic and are known (and statistics are well documented) to kill birds within a matter of minutes.Their little livers shut down after working overtime trying to detoxify the fumes, this causes fluid to fill their lungs... in turn suffocating them to death :o(Sorry, I didn't mean to end this review on such a sad note, but I think it's very important for everyone to know this.

GreenPan Stockholm Skillet - 9½" - Non-stick Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i have the 12 inch stainless steel version which i got for christmas. 4 months later and the non-stick aspect has essentially failed. the coating is still in tact, but many things, tofu in particular, are sticking to the surface. we have had non-stick pans in the past, and all but the cheapest the surface held up well. We were not novices to the care of this stuff. We were excited about this one with the non-PFOA coating. It worked great at the start, but quickly declined. Our use of a nylon scrubby when stuff started to stick appears to have hastened its demise. Still, for a viable option these things need to be more robust. An average stainless steel skillet works better at this point. Sad.

Greenpan 11-Inch Thermolon Non-stick Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am so sorry this pan didn't work out.I used both the large and small skillet for a few months and then everything started sticking to them.I took back the larger one after this happened and got a brand new one, which everything started sticking to again after very little use.I cook with olive oil, no PAM, and have never used it on high heat.It is super hard now to clean.Scrambled eggs completely coat it and it takes a lot of work to clean them off.

GreenPan Stockholm Skillet - 8" - Non-stick Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a set of this cookware at Target approximately 9 months ago. I have used the skillet to make omlettes 6-10 times a month. I use a smidge of butter for flavor - in the beginning. The pans were non-stick and there were no issues. However, after about three months, the non-stickiness began to wear out and I've got burn marks on the pan that will not come off, despite soaking and hot water and scrubbing with a scratch-resistant sponge. I appreciate the safety factor of the Green Pan over 'traditional' non-stick pans, but I believe I will be looking at another alternative solution so that I do not have to replace the pan every 6 months.

Update:
The pans got to the point by January that they were completely unusable. I could use 3 pats of butter to cook 2 eggs, and I would need 3 more pats to flip the eggs and they would STILL stick.

Target, of course, no longer carries the pans because they suck. I was referred to the manufacturer who first offered to send me replacements (I was quite clear in my email indicating that I had purchased them from Target). I declined as I have since purchased Cuisinart Green Gourmet Cookware set and LOVE THEM. The employee told me they would send me a return label and issue me a refund (in writing). I asked what would be the timeline for receiving refund, when she said it would be forwarded to HSN. I advised her I did not purchase it from HSN as my email stated. She said they couldn't refund it then.I advised her that her oversight was not my problem. I was then treated extremely rude.

If you do research online, you'll see that there are mentions of defective batches and that the Better Homes and Gardens seal is being revoked. They have Facebook pages about how much the Greenpans suck. And I have created a blog dedicated to how much Greenpans suck showing photos of what 'lifetime non-stick' is like as well as the emails I received.
