Frying Pan

Pros and cons

This order was a replacement under warranty for the pan I purchased 11 months ago. I absolutely would buy these pots and pans again, during major sales (eg. Black Friday sale). Pros: Does not leach metals like stainless steel. Does not leach chemicals like non-stick options. Best option, imo, outside of cast iron. Unlike cast iron, handle stays cool on stove top (providing the handle is not directly above a hot, uncovered burner). Neutral: Cooking methods are similar to stainless steel. Hot pan, cold oil. Exception, must thaw meat. Cons: Additional time is needed for cooking. I will say it again, Additional time is needed for cooking. It is necessary to pre-heat the pots and pans on low. (ie.Turn on low, wait to preheat, then crank temp up to medium, wait to preheat, then add thawed meat (never frozen), etc). They also take longer to heat food. Which is the flip side of having a cool handle. Soup for instance will take additional time to heat the added liquid, then heat the sides of the pan. Notes: These pots and pans are NOT as durable as Steel or Iron. However, I did not list this as a con. Because I am accident prone. Despite handling these with care, I still manage to hit one on the counter edge and dropped a bowl on another. Praise God, non of my pans have chipped or cracked due to this. So I would say they are durable enough. Still take care to not drop or hit them as they are ceramic. But in my experience they are not entirely fragile either. Metal cannot be used to cook or clean on these pans. I did not list this as a con as bamboo or silicone can be used to cook. For cleaning I soak the pan in hot water (take care to warm the pan if your hot water tank is cranked up to scalding as mine is). Then use a plastic free stiff bristle brush. Sometimes I use a little baking soda or a Norwex Counter Cloth. Thus far, everything has come off with out issue.

Love ‘em

I love this frying pan. The size is perfect for most of my cooking and the contents slide out so easily. Xtreme cookware is the best!
