hello Yvonne, great video again.
Just wanted to ask what about titanium cookware?
Thank you
I just use my stainless steel or castiron personally my dad whos had cancer several times already perfers his cancerous Teflon pans
Thank you for the information. Have you considered making a video using the cookware? That would be great!
Thanks for watching! Great idea 💡
Thank you for the information, would cookware made from pyroceram be a good choice?
Radical transparency!!! Please bring class back! ❤️❤️🥂🥂
Thank u for this info , its really great .
Is there any cookware that is non stick and dont release any toxic chemicals?? Plz reply mam !
thanks so much Yvonne, I'd love you to do something similar on dinnerware too, if you get a chance.
Great idea! Thank you!
Love the videos you put out can you put out a video about the best way to make coffee pls ?
Yes great idea 💡
I learned so much about eating healthy but you opened my eyes to the toxicity of household items. THANKS ❤🎉
Glad I could help
Just received mine yesterday, so far so good 😊
Great to hear!
Thank you 🙏
These sounds good!
Will they work with my induction range?
They’re great pieces, but don’t work with induction unfortunately.
Hi Dr. Yvonne, could you make a video on cookware that would work for induction stovetop? We got rid of gas and went with induction so the ceramic cookware you recommended won't work. We currently are using hex clad but are unsure about how safe they are. Thanks so much
Thank you so much for all you do❤ when I saw the vid, I knew it was gonna be a great day😂 loved this review. Unfortunately I HATE heavy pots and pans😂😂😂 I am a tiny person, haha. Also we have only induction at home, like many houses in Europe. What about Glasware? There are pots and pans from glas (they don't work on induction either 😅) but my grandparents used glass on the stove and especially the oven.
Also, can you make a video about baking paper sheets? Are they safe? I don't trust anything since I started watching your videos. 😅 Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching! Glass is non-leaching and therefore one of the optimal food contact materials.
been using my xtrema 11" skillet and love it...i do use aluminum spatula and use wire mesh to clean it up so far no scratches...if you do have stuck food add water and then boil, the stuck food will come off a lot easier....i got a small chip on it and don't know how it happen
Thanks for sharing!
What pan is best for oil free people?
Does anyone know whats the best non toxic washer and dryer unit to get? I got GE super fast combo and i swear the chemical smellimg fume is making me sick. HELP!
Would love to get Xtrema, however I got induction, induction is already a large % of what is used in my country and only growing. Will probably opt for quality stainless steel. Enjoyed the vid!
Thanks for watching!
Yvonne thank you for your videos. Would you use a camphor laurel wood chopping board? Camphor is carcinogenic but recommendations say it’s safe for food preparation, which doesn’t make sense to me. I recently unknowingly bought a camphor laurel wood chopping board and the strong smell goes into the meat and can change its taste. Thanks.
Camphor is ingested by people as an herbal remedy, but can result in toxicity and poisoning in children. The amount transferred from a cutting board is expected to be much less than the amount that could result in toxicity. However, there is no data on the regular consumption of foods prepared on a camphor wood chopping board, so the risks are unknown.
@@dryvonneburkart thank you so much for taking the time to reply 😊
Interesting never looked at these pans. What do you think about glass pans I have two for cooking they are not non stick but heat really well. They are heavy but I think they are better than the toxic pans out there
Glass is one of the optimal food contact materials since it’s non-leaching.
What dishwasher tablets do you use? Or what ingredients should we look to avoid? If you could do videos on this (and soap, shampoo, etc.) it'd be greatly appreciated!
Info on whether plastic and PFAS leach - and more importantly stick - on to other cookware in the dishwasher also very helpful!!
Great ideas! I’ll make a video about this asap. Thanks for the suggestions 🙏🏽 I use Blueland and Branch Basics dishwasher tablets.
What do you think about le creuset cast iron pot? I own 2
Cast iron is low risk but there is potential for leaching in acidic foods as with all metal cookware.
You didn’t mention as a con that they’re extremely expensive. For that reason I only bought the frying pan. I already bought stainless steel cookware previously so I think I’m good for the rest.
I liked your advice about the wooden spatula. I have been using plastic but will switch over asap.
Finally what’s your opinion regarding Blue Diamond ceramic coated frying pans? Thanks.
Its so hard to detox my home when everyone else i live with won't stop using non-stick pans. I got some really good stainless steel and cast iron pans but my husband keeps getting non-stick. I told him I refuse to eat anything made in those pans but its still not ideal. Also he hates the wool rugs I buy and prefers the softer cheaper polyester rugs...its a whole thing
You’re doing your best and thats what matters.
My husband is also not on board, mostly because he doesn't understand the big deal and therefore won't justify the higher cost of the safer options. He keeps asking if i want to be the only person left alive, how sad that would be. He'd rather die along with everyone else using all the toxic stuff 🤣
Hi @dryvonnebukart
I use non-stick Titanium cookware from Titanium Exclusive in Canada. The surface is non-stick and they claim they do not use teflon or PTFE coating rather they use Titanium coating. I would like to know your thoughts on Titanium coating. Thank you. ❤
Great question. All non-stick coatings have concerns since their exact composition is unknown, therefore we have no idea what could be leaching. I have only seen one brand of nonstick cookware that shares leach test reports, but those are on brand new pans. Cookware coatings wear off, so we need leach tests on used cookware too. Unfortunately, PTFE-free can still include substances like PFAS such as GenX.
How about glass cookware? Can these be safe?
What about HexClad?
Love them.......!
Thanks for sharing!
Dang we got an induction cooktop. Well hopefully carbon steel is ok too thats what we mostly use
Yes carbon steel is low risk but there is potential leaching in acidic foods with metals cookware.
This cookware won’t work on induction ovens though. Induction is probably not so popular in the USA but here in Europe it’s the most effective and cost saving, better than gas-stove.
Yes. I just stick with my stainless steel cookwares. And tampered glass.
@@HappyLife-nf7wb Thank you.
Heat retention actually works against you when cooking because you can’t quickly and easily bring the temperature down while cooking.
I drive and live in a semi truck. I cook using an electric skillet. I can’t use gas stove because it’s considered hazardous material. What would be the best options? I only cook lamb and eggs so it has to be solid and have a cover.
Stainless steel, cast iron, glass, or ceramic would work with an electric stove.
@@dryvonneburkart so there are no electric skillets that can work? The reason I’m asking is, being in a truck I have to figure out how to secure a hot frying pan. Almost the entire interior is made of plastic. I usually eat in the middle of my work day.
Been using Xtrema for a good 10 years.
Went looking for alternative cookware after reading early Alzheimer research back in the day when they discovered higher levels of aluminum in the brains of those afflicted. (Was working in State Psych Hospital Geriatrics Dept.)
Bottom line is one can not avoid coming into contact with these environmental toxic substances.. . . but one can work to reduce the total toxic load your body has to deal with..
If you don't want to use ceramic, that's cool but please replace compromised cookware sooner rather than later.
Thanks for sharing!
Needs to be available in UK...
Hopefully in the future
What happened to stainless steel and cast iron
I have physical barriers that mean I can’t use this cookware or take you up on your generous offer. I feel sad I want to make changes. Do you have any second choices when it comes to cookware, specifically, lighter weights to accommodate my disabilities ? Thank you very much in advance.
Stainless steel is the most lightweight option compared to other lower risk cookware materials like cast iron, glass, or pure ceramic. Coated cookware is higher risk.
What about cast iron pans and pots. Are those toxic?
I use cast iron for eggs and meat 🙌🏽
how about stainless steel?
You are so pretty!
I've cast iron. Some as old as my great grandmother. What are the risks of this?
Potential leaching in acidic foods but otherwise low risk.
I have two questions. #1 when boiling hard-boiled eggs, you must run cold water over the eggs. Otherwise, they will be hard to peel. How do you get around this? #2 what do you flip eggs or burgers with?? Please no plastic... Thanks.
I would transfer the eggs to another bowl of cold water. I use untreated wooden utensils like a spatula to flip burgers 🍔
Place eggs into boiling water, cover, and cook for 8-10 min. Super easy to peel. If I place eggs in cool water and bring to a boil, the shell sticks and hard to peel.
The ability to peel eggs has nothing to do with water. That’s an urban myth. It has everything to do with how fresh the eggs are. Fresh eggs will be hard to peel, slightly older ones will be easier.

I just ordered some of their cookware ❤. Now, to figure out how to fry eggs in the skillet without them sticking, lol!
I cook eggs in them regularly and don’t have issues with sticking when I preheat slowly according to instructions.
@@dryvonneburkart It might even be that I should start using Ghee. I use olive oil. Thank you for your answer. I will start cooking at the lowest setting.
@@davinawonderling9361Just use regular butter. Olive oil is the worst/most sticky.
@@mr.k905 Thank you for the tip.
I don't like the taste of food cooked in butter. Is there an option that works well besides butter?@@mr.k905
I use stainless steel. Is that okay? 🤔
Yes 👍🏼
Better than stainless steel or cast iron?
In my opinion, yes, since cast iron and stainless steel leach in acidic conditions, but Xtrema does not. That’s what the third party leach testing indicates. You can check the results for every batch on the Xtrema website.
I use cast iron for specific applications that don’t involved acids and I love my cast iron panini and Japanese rolled omelette pans.
@@dryvonneburkart I appreciate your response!
I’ve just read that ceramic cookware always contains PTFE or similar substances (other names for chemically very similar stuff). It’s never ONLY ceramic.
Also Xtrema is Xtremly expensive, and since most of us are not part of the 1%… 😢
I can't help but wonder how easily ceramic coating (or the outer layer of a stainless steel pan) really wears down. With PFAS non-stick, that obviously happens very quickly. Stainless steel - I have not been able to scratch my pots and pans yet. Ceramic coatings - never owned cookware with that.
Why do I mention this? Induction. Way more efficient than other heat sources. (And convenient. But of course convenience is never more important than health.)
I was excited when I ordered my first pan until I realized it was handcrafted in China. I have difficulty trusting cookware processed in China to be totally safe!
This is why it’s so important to buy cookware from brands that actually subject their products to third party accredited leach testing in acids the way Xtrema does regardless of the country of manufacture. They also test the unglazed ceramic substrate and it passes Prop 65 for lead and cadmium leaching. This means that even a scratched piece does not pose a safety concern. Please let me know if you find a brand that manufactures in the US or Europe and subjects their cookware to this type of testing.
Isn't there any other cookware that is safe to use, and also attractive? I find the black colour extremely off-putting, and the added weight is not for me either.
Cast iron or stainless steel. Aesthetics often have no bearing on safety. In fact, it’s usually the opposite.
@@dryvonneburkart I read previously from another toxicologist that to be safe, stainless steel should be the 18/0 type which means 0 nickel. I unfortunately have the 18/10 type. What would be your thoughts about this? I also have cast iron but you mentioned that it's best to avoid it with acidic foods, such as...? I am now greatly considering purchasing some Xtrema cookware
How about class cookware.
Glass is one of the optimal food contact materials since it’s non-leaching.
@@dryvonneburkart thank you Doctor. Ur so nice .
Metal and stainless steel and aluminum cookwares are used in old days , my grandma age time .they don’t have health problems. They are very strong and had so many children.
Ceramic is a cookware material that dates back to 18,000 BC. Great that your grandma is healthy 👍🏼
@@dryvonneburkart But is there a safety issue with stainless steel, at least compared to xTrema? Stainless steel is reputed to be the safest, with no leaching. Also, how well does handle gas stoves? Does it scorch easily?
@@dryvonneburkart yes thats very old time
@@aquamarine99911 I’m using stainless steal cookware with gas . It’s fine
@aquamarine99911 stainless steele leaches nickle unless you get nickle free.
😮👍🏻😊👏🏻😋👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
I found out about you by accident. It’s horrifying how many things our government allows. I’ve literally been researching into every brand of cookware to see what is the safest for about a week now. I’m still trying to find a solution for purifying my water the cheapest. It’s been a complete headache. I can’t believe how much plastic is everywhere and almost 90% of our food and drinks on the market have estrogen disrupters. It’s sickening. Even most tooth floss isn’t safe, especially for men. I’ve been researching what I can put on my skin, my teeth, what I can eat, drink… everything is basically a large trap in America unless you heavily research into everything and save money for the quality products that won’t kill you. Life shouldn’t be this difficult. And don’t even get me started on inflation, our rigged economy, and our failed healthcare system. Universal Healthcare unfortunately will never happen in America. I think the biggest reason why besides big pharma and other corporations profiting off our illnesses is that they need an incentive to keep Soldiers in the service branches. Retention is so bad in the military. Once healthcare and education aren’t provided, I’d say the majority of Soldiers wouldn’t be serving the country because many know the wars are pointless and that they’re just puppets to gain resources like oil or gain political or economic power.
Not even a single explanation for what is the covering on cooking surface.

I never use ceramic, all ceramics can leach heavy metals or chemicals, you are at the mercy of the company that made them. I only use glass or metal.
metal.... you meant stainless steel and cast iron.... or anything else?
Xtrema ceramic cookware does not leach lead or cadmium under acidic conditions, and exceeds CA Prop 65.
