Benefits of Ceramic Cookware
When people are looking to buy new affordable cookware, the most frequent choice is tried and true non stick cookware, stainless steel or hard anodized aluminum, but few think of ceramic cookware sets as a first choice; hopefully that thinking will change. While non-stick and metal cookware have been the most popular types of cookware for nearly 50 years, and the manufacturers tout the benefits of the advances in manufacturing cookware with these metals, they rarely discuss the risks.
With the push in our society to grow natural foods that are free of chemicals or pesticides and GMOs, we rarely ask about the products we use to cook the food in? What are the potential health risks of cooking with these products? The makers of ceramic cookware sets, like Xtrema Cookware, are asking the same questions, like what is best ceramic cookware?
The founder of Xtrema spent over 20 years with Corning, the maker of Pyrex, and when he was approached by a company that made a new ceramic cookware set line to help introduce their product to the world, he saw the benefits of ceramic cookware in the kitchen and also as the best green cookware free of chemicals and toxins.
Due to the various potential health risks of non-stick cookware, metal cooking pans and anodized cookware that are becoming known, ceramic cookware has become a popular alternative in the last few years.
Ceramic cookware is actually the oldest known type of cookware that pre dates modern civilization, and is the original green cookware made predominantly with clay and water, along with other minerals to further harden the materials and add color.

I like that you mentioned that being easy to clean is one of the best features of ceramic coating for cookware. I’m planning to buy some new cookware soon because I’ve been getting fond of cooking my own meals lately. That’s when I realized that my kitchen is very underequipped for a lot of recipes that I’d like to try out.
I’ve been looking for a new pan. This post gives me lots of idea!! Thanks!
