When it comes to choosing cookware, I’m all about finding pieces that align with my values — simple, sustainable, and truly safe for my family.
Their non-toxic ceramic bakeware has been a game-changer in my kitchen, letting me bake everything from sourdough to sweet treats without worrying about harmful chemicals.
Plus, it’s incredibly durable, so I know these pieces will last for years to come, making them an investment in our health and home.
Cooking at home has always been meaningful to me, and I’m intentional about choosing the highest quality ingredients for our family. But it doesn’t end there.
What I cook with is just as important. From cast iron skillets to non-toxic pots, I’m mindful of everything that touches our food.
Rosie’s been by my side in the kitchen since she was a baby, her tiny hands eager to help. I’m teaching her that food is more than fuel—it’s an expression of love and care. I want her to grow up knowing that the time and effort we put into what we eat is worth it, and that there’s beauty in learning how to nourish ourselves and those we love.
10 Quart Round Dutch Oven: My favorite product! I use this the most and especially during soup season! I will double, triple, or quadruple soup recipes to stock my freezer with freezer meals or to share with a new postpartum friend.
5.5 Quart Versa Pot: I bake all my sourdough boules in this pot!
3.5 Quart Saucepan: I use this pot for reheating the perfect portion of soup or making oatmeal.
Classic Oval Dutch Oven: The prettiest dutch oven with fluted exterior. I use this for baking oval sourdough boules!
Baking has always been a form of therapy for me—there’s something deeply grounding about the rhythm of kneading dough and watching it rise. I started with simple recipes, but as time went on, I fell in love with sourdough. It’s an art that teaches patience, and the reward of those perfectly tangy and sweet sourdough cinnamon rolls is always worth the wait.
My Xtrema bakeware has been a staple throughout my cooking journey. It’s 100% non-toxic and heats so evenly, whether I’m baking bread, sourdough cinnamon rolls, or a peach cobbler, I can trust that what I’m serving is not just delicious but safe for my family.
MY FAVORITES
2 Pack Muffin Pan: Let’s be real, I never stop at just 6 muffins, so the 2-pack is a must. Of course, it’s perfect for baking, but it’s also my go-to for creating ‘snack trays’ for Rosie—making mealtime a little more fun and organized!
Loaf Pan: This is my favorite pan for all things cozy and homemade—whether it’s a soft sourdough sandwich loaf, a warm slice of banana bread, or anything in between, it always turns out just right.
Xtrema cookware is totally non-toxic—free from anything harmful like PFOA, PTFE, and leaching. They’ve been committed to health and safety for over 15 years, and they back it up with third-party testing to prove their products are lead and cadmium-free. I’ve always loved how consistent they are with their standards.
But what really gets me is the personal connection. Xtrema isn’t just another big company—they’re family-owned, and they’ve made me feel like part of their family too. They’ll even DM me to say they’re praying for me and my family. Honestly, I didn’t expect that from a cookware brand, but it shows who they truly are.
Their values—integrity, honesty, transparency—are exactly what I look for. I feel like I’m investing in more than just cookware; I’m investing in a brand I can trust. Plus, they meet the strictest safety standards like LFGB and California Prop 65, which gives me peace of mind every time I use them in my kitchen.
One thing I’ll never forget is when I bought their 10-quart pot right before giving birth to make freezer meals for postpartum. I ended up cracking it (yes, I cried!), but Xtrema replaced it for free, no questions asked.
They offer a Forever Replacement Program where the first replacement is free, even if it’s an accident. Every subsequent replacement is 30% off after the first break. On top of all of that, they have a 10 year thermal crack warranty, which just further proves the hearts behind the brand.
That kind of support is why I’ll always love and trust them—they truly stand behind their products and their customers.
