Question from dvrosie
Hi, I want to get all new cookware, and want HEALTHY no chemicals but also not too heavy, for instance cast iron or Creuset is too heavy for me. I looked at Mercola’s Healthy Chef but that might be too heavy too and I can’t try it out in a store. The research says that Anolon is a good product and that the coating is non toxic but then I saw another entry I think you said you stay away from all coatings! I will destroy the bottom of aluminum pans or stainless steel i just know it. What can you please recommend I want to buy this SOON.
Thank you! Rosie

Dr. Mercola’s Healthy Chef is the same as Xtrema Cookware that I’ve written about many times on this blog. I use it myself every day. They now have a wonderful big wok skillet too and tea potles that you can boil water in. I love this cookware and don’t find it too heavy. It’s not like cast iron.
There is an advantage to heavy cookware in that it holds the heat more evenly and stays put better on the stove. I think Xtrema is “just right.”
