Xtrema Skillet
After using this skillet for the last few weeks or so, I decided it was time to write about it. The heat is thoroughly and evenly distributed and food cooks really well. The high sides make it a great tool for sauces or full dishes in one pan. The trivet is designed to match the base of the skillet and it fits like a glove. Overall, it works well.
Why I’m reviewing cookware? It’s eco-friendly of course, here how.
The skillet is made from ceramics and does not contain metal. It also is oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, broiler and table safe. It’s a multi-talented skillet!
Because of the eco-friendly properties of ceramics, there are no toxins in the dish so none can seep into your food while it’s being cooked. The cookware has a 50 year warranty but do not drop it, that is NOT covered. Ceramic is fragile, so be careful.
There are so many more facts I could list, but back to the review. It’s not too heavy, very sturdy, but I’m just afraid of how it cleans. So far so good, but you really have to give it a good scrubbing to get it nice and clean.
I got to support my Jersey friends over at Ceramcor. Check out their site for soon to be released products.

Coming soon, according to the owners…
The sillet and product website look great where where can the “common” person get it?? Looks to be only sold at shows.
TIA
I can not seem to find any way to actually buy one of your skillets on the web sight. Don't see a phone # either. Am assuming you want to sell these things but making it very difficult or impossible for me to do so.
I also would like to order a pan but the Extrema.com website seems not to exist and I can't find it anywhere.
Hi, the Ceramcor range is currently avilable from r Mercola's website an particularly the following link – I've just come from there. http://cookware.mercola.com/Cookware.aspx It's also vailable at Amazon I believe http://www.amazon.com/3-5-qt-saucepot-lid-ceramcor/dp/b0.... I would love to get my hands on them.
I've told the folks from Ceramor to write their reply here, but they haven't. They did tell me it will be available soon. The URL is ceramcor.com & I have two more products to reviewed soon.
Stay tuned!

It's been over a year since Richard wrote that post and I still can't find the cookware online pictures, descriptions and cost. I just sent an email to Richard so hopefully he will respond and tell me where I can find this information.

Hi Mike, if you are reading this I am wondering about the nonstick properties of this skillet, could you post a reply here?
It's pretty good with foods not sticking as long as you use spray nonstick or butter, etc.
You can order these from mercola.com!!
Anyone else having trouble cooking eggs in these. I absolutely love them but I am not impressed with the non-stick aspect.
Actually, yes, cooking eggs is hard, even with the nonstick spray. I used to love it, but not as much as I used to anymore.
I have a very difficult time cooking eggs in this skillet. I don’t understand why they stick so bad. Any other suggestions?
Try this one …
I'm looking for some new cookware and I'm just lost!
Cheers

I have tried a lot of cookware and the best one to fry or scramble eggs is well seasoned cast iron. I would never try that on a ceramic cookware.
I cook eggs on low heat with a heaping tablespoon of coconut oil. It works well. Don’t try to brown potatoes in these pans. It forms a layer across the pan and the potatoes never really get brown. Clean up is easier with a little baking soda. They seem to stick a little less as you use them.
I’m sending my 10″ skillet back. I used an excellent ceramic skillet while in Germany. It was the best non-stick pan ever. Ceramcor doesn’t even come close, but what should we expect from Chinese knockoff.
Hi, I am the founder of Ceramcor and Xtrema cookware. We have the patent for this new inovative ceramic cookware and there is nobody else in the world who has any ceramic product that performs as well as our cookware. It took us 20 years to develop this product and the finest ceramic factories in the world are located in mainland China and not in Germany. The skillet in Germany might use a ceramic coating on a metal skillet but according to our research there is no ceramic skillet being made in Germany or anywhere in Eurpoe except the Flame cookware made by Emile Henry from France. Please remember that cooking with ceramic cookware is healthier for you and the environment because metal cookware is not green. it can be toxic and it also can leach heavy metal into your food. You decide what is best for you and your family – blessing – Rich
Lee,
What was the name of the manufacturer of the German ceramic skillet?
I am also interested in the German ceramic skillet. Has anyone else experienced issues cooking eggs and potatoes and/or just browning anything like spagetti or stir fry?
I have the entire set of xtrema cookware, plus an extra large frying pan. My 10" skillet broke during cleaning. Yes, they are fragile. Also, I'm having major stick issues. I use only extra virgin coconut oil for cooking but I've also tried butter and ghee. I love the healthy aspects of the pan, but I'm disappointed with the clean-up (for that price). Also, shouldn't they be more durable? Finally, they are very heavy! I want to try the teapot. Maybe that will be a better experience.
