Anyone Familiar with Xtrema ceramic cookware?

I have looked at ceramic cookware in the past but never bought it. There are on-line reviews of Xtrema cookware and from what I've read it seems to be good, but very expensive, prone to shatter if dropped and food tends to stick. These issues may be common to other brands of ceramic cookware.
 
CL, thanks for the response. Yes, I've read that about shattering if dropped too but that wouldn't keep me from buying one (think it would be worth the risk if it's safer). I see so much negativity about the typical non-stick materials....still pondering...thanks though for posting.

I've stuck to stainless steel, Pyrex glass or glazed stoneware for nearly all my cooking utensils. Like ceramic pans, the glass and stone will shatter, so just have to be careful. I have tried 'hard anodised' aluminium saucepans, but the coating wasn't durable. All my saucepans are now stainless steel with an encapsulated base. I like the 'Fissler' brand.

I'm trying to stick to the types of products you list here but for something like an egg...or other things that need non-stick...I'd like an alternative. They're out of stock on the X pans, so it's back-burner for me now (pun intended). :)
