The Hidden Danger in Your Kitchen: Why Families Are Switching to Safe, Non-Toxic Cookware

"What makes our cookware different is that it's not just coated with ceramic – it's 100% pure ceramic from surface to core," Bergstrom notes. "There's nothing to scratch off because there's no coating to begin with."

A groundbreaking study from the University of Newcastle has revealed what many health-conscious families have long suspected: the convenience of non-stick cookware comes at a concerning price. Researchers found that a single scratch on a non-stick pan can release over 9,100 microplastic particles into your food. Even more concerning, a damaged coating can release up to 2.3 million plastic particles.

"When I learned about these findings, I immediately thought about all the scratched pans in my kitchen," says Sarah Mitchell, a mother of three who recently made the switch to safer cookware. "We try so hard to eat healthy, organic food – but what good is that if we're cooking it in pans that could be releasing harmful particles?"

The Real Cost of "Convenient" Cooking

Non-stick pans have become a kitchen staple, promising easy cooking and cleanup. But as this new research shows, that convenience might be introducing unwanted chemicals into our meals. The study, published in Science of The Total Environment, highlights how everyday cooking can turn seemingly harmless cookware into a source of microplastics.

Rich Bergstrom, founder of Xtrema, saw this problem coming years ago. With over 40 years of industry experience, he recognized that families needed a better option. "We never wanted to just make pots and pans," Bergstrom explains. "We wanted to create cookware that families could trust completely, from surface to core."

A Return to Time-Tested Traditions

In 2004, Xtrema took inspiration from centuries-old cooking traditions to develop something revolutionary: 100% pure ceramic cookware. Unlike conventional non-stick pans that can scratch, chip, or release harmful chemicals, Xtrema's handcrafted ceramic cookware is:

- Made without metals, coatings, glues, polymers, or toxins
- Triple-fired and ultra-purified at 2,500 degrees
- Tested and certified PFOA-free and PTFE-free
- Scratch-resistant and stain-proof
- Backed by a 10-year warranty

"What makes our cookware different is that it's not just coated with ceramic – it's 100% pure ceramic from surface to core," Bergstrom notes. "There's nothing to scratch off because there's no coating to begin with."

Why Families Are Making the Switch
