Debra Lynn Dadd Green Living Q & A

Hey Xtrema Friends--

Check out this interesting article on Debra Lynn Dadd's Blog about stainless steal and how it leaches into your foods and beverages. This article is full of information and will really make you think about what you are cooking with...

Remember, Xtrema Cookware is made of 100% Ceramic, making it non-reactive and 100% non-toxic. Xtrema Cookware is the healthiest cookware in the world.

Here is a brief intro to Debra Lynn Dadd's Blog on stainless steal;

Stainless Steel Leaching into Food and Beverages

"Since I receive so many questions on this blog pertaining to products made from stainless steel, I thought I'd give you some background about what stainless steel is and how it leaches into various foods and beverages.

Steel is used to make a wide variety of industrial, construction, and consumer products. The largest use by far for consumer products is to make auto bodies and “tin cans” (actually made of steel with a very thin protective coating of tin), although it is also used to make appliances, cutlery, flatware, razor blades, cookware, water bottles, and many other items."
-- Debra Lynn Dadd

Please read this eye opening and informative blog at this link, and let us know what you think?

Thank you so much for starting your company and making such a wonderful product. For over a year I have been searching the internet for a truly safe cookware...the cast iron I use for my family is getting heavier every year. Plus, I wanted a safe way to heat water (for tea) and cook pasta. Xtrema does it all. Bye, Bye cast iron!

I'm a cancer patient who needs to eat extremely well but who doesn't have the strength for endless scrubbing. I also want my cookware to be totally non-toxic. Xtrema has it all!!!! Gratefully,

Hello Bob, My wife and I just purchased a 16 pc set of your cookware from Mercola.com...With our previous stainless steel cookware, I would get headaches almost whenever my wife cooked with it. No headaches with your cookware, thank you very much.
- Steve

We bought a set of 4 pieces from Mercola last week and oh my goodness...I can't say enough wonderful things about your cookware...aside from the fact that the design is GORGEOUS....it works! Its light weight, it heats beautifully from the refrigerator to the stovetop. Sincerely,
- Marcia

Mr. Bergstrom, Thank you so much for your exceptional customer service. I received my Xtrema pot at my door step today. My husband and I are so impressed by your customer service that I felt compelled to let you know. I can begin my healthy cooking again thanks to your immediate response. God Bless!
- Jancy

You have a great product! We love it! Since I have a small organic garden (mostly tomatoes & squash in the summer & lettuce in the winter), my tomatoes recipes get rave reviews from our family & friends. Even a couple of ladies asked me if I had changed my old recipe and I said "Yes! Now I use Xtrema pots!"
- Beni

When I received my order the first thing I did was to test it out. First I boiled water for hot chocolate. Wow! Huge difference, the hot chocolate was rich, mush richer than previously made using a stainless steel teapot. Then I fried an egg in the Xtrema skillet and in a brand new Rachel Ray skillet. Unbelievable! The eggs were different colors, texture and flavors. I’ve now been using the cookware for several weeks and am extremely pleased with the product. The food tastes better, stays hot longer and seems to be juicier.
- Lesli

Xtrema Chicken Stir Fry

What's Cooking Friends???


Wow, I just received the new Xtrema Ceramic 11’ Wok and just had to try it out. So we hit the local grocery store and picked up all the fixings for a wonderful Xtrema Stir Fry feast. Stir fry is a simple, yet very tasty meal and you can always add your own personal style and flair to it. We stayed pretty basic with this dinner and just used boneless chicken breast, and all the fresh vegetables. (Carrots, mushrooms, red and orange peppers, onions, and broccoli)

So we fired up the stove, through some EVO in the Xtrema Wok and added the cut chicken breast first. While the chicken was starting to cook, we chopped up the veggies and then added them to the chicken in the wok. We added some Pineapple-Wasabi Soy Sauce to give the Stir Fry some Xtrema flavor.

We were running short on time so we just picked up some delicious vegetable fried rice at our local Chinese Take-Out. Talk about quick and simple. We heated the rice in the Xtrema saucepot and then it was time to serve it up. Presto, we covered the rice with the chicken-veggie stir fry and we were eating in less than 30 minutes. Wow, was it full of flavor. I must say, the ceramic wok really brought out the zest in the chicken and veggies.

Xtrema Stir Fry in Xtremely No Time!!!

Xtrema Experience

A Message from one of the owners of Xtrema Cookware--

"As one of the owners of Ceramcor I have had the privilege of cooking exclusively with our Xtrema products for the past three years. The first thing I noticed was that food absolutely tastes better when prepared in our Xtrema cookware. The unique ceramic material allows the food when cooked to retain its moisture and it seals in the natural juices. Funny but when you watch all of the national cooking shows on television they never mention that that the cookware they are using will make your food taste better. They always say their recipe will make your food taste better. You know, if they cooked with Xtrema they could say both!

Have you had an Xtrema Experience"


Yours,

Bob Bergstrom

Fitness Coach Raves Ceramic Cookware

Fitness Coach Dana Moritz from Missouri has an Xtrema Experience. A few weeks ago, Dana contacted us and was interested in our healthy ceramic cookware. We sent her a few of our top products and she put them to the test.
This is a bit of what she had to say about her cooking experience with Xtrema...
-- " I have found some of the best cookware ever! Xtrema cookware is non-stick cookware that addresses today's growing desire for a healthier cooking alternatives. I don't like using the standard non-stick cookware that scratches and can leach into your food.
Xtrema is also very functional. You can use them in the microwave, under the broiler and on the stovetop. This versatility means less clean up - I am all about that!!! The Xtrema cookware is also pretty! The tea pot is so beautiful, I leave it on my stovetop for everyone to see."
To read more of Dana's review on Xtrema and to find out more about her healthy living life style, please visit her blog at
If you are looking for a new and healthy cooking experience?? Xtrema is the cookware for you!!!
Happy Cooking,

Whats Cooking Today?




It was a beautiful hot summer night here in Maryland and we decided to fire up the grill, break out the Xtrema Cookware and cook up some delicious hot Italian sausage topped with fresh onions and peppers.

We are by no means cooking experts or gourmet chefs, we just love food and cooking with Xtrema! This is a quick and simple meal. Here is what we did--

Diced up some fresh onions and peppers from the garden, then dropped them into the 12-inch Xtrema brassier skillet with a bit of EVO and cooked them on medium heat for 10 minutes.

While the onions and peppers where sauteing on the stove, we fired up the grill and cooked up the hot sausage. We added a bit of sun dried tomato salad dressing to add a bit of flavor to the sausage. When the sausage was cooked, we placed them on the Xtrema Skillet and garnished them with fresh parmesan and parsley. We then melted the cheese on the grill and brought the skillet right to the table. Hot and tasty!!!

For a side, we chopped up a few potatoes, added some seasoning salt and oil and baked them in the over for about 20 minutes.

Preparation time was just around 30 minutes or less. Not bad at all. Check out the finished work and WOW was this good.....XTREMA GOOD!

Good Food, Good Fellowship and Great Fun!

Happy Eating,



The Xtrema Cook
