Nonstick and Safe?

As our columnist Amy Topel found, sautéed onions and mushrooms slide right out of Xtrema's Nano-Glaze cookware (featured in the June print issue of National Geographic Green Guide). Unlike chemically finished nonstick cookware, Xtrema's ceramic pieces feature ultrathin ceramic glazes, which provide easy cleanup without adding undesirable chemicals to kitchen air. Ceramic also retains heat longer than stainless steal or aluminum, reducing cooking time and energy consumption. Read more from Amy at Amy's Green Kitchen.

Individual pieces, including pots, pans, and a teapot, range in price from $39.99 to $149.99. The purchasing website listed in the June issue is no longer available, but you can visit www.ceramcor.com for more information on the products and call the company at 732-604-1925 or email Bob Bergstrom at bob@ceramcor.com for information on getting a set of your own.
