| Providing a wide range of essentials, this 17-piece cookware collection makes a nice choice for those setting up a first-time kitchen or for anybody looking to upgrade. The set includes a 1-2/3-quart covered saucepan, a 2-1/2-quart covered saucepan, a 3-1/5-quart covered saucepan, a 7-1/2-quart stovetop roaster, an 11-3/8-inch skillet, a dome cover for the roaster and the skillet (can likewise be employed directly on the stovetop as an extra skillet), and a flat cover for the roaster and the skillet, as well as a double boiler unit, five egg cups, and an egg utility rack. Use the saucepans when making homemade marinara sauce, cooking lentils, or heating up soup; the stovetop roaster works well for cooking big cuts of meat; and the skillet provides a wide flat base and tall sides–perfect for one-dish meals like chicken and rice. Melting chocolate’s effortless with the double boiler in place (it may likewise be employed directly on the stovetop as a 3-quart saucepan), and the egg cups grant for making poached eggs. The collection also provides a handy recipe book with step-by-step instructions.
Best of all, the cookware may be employed with the healthful “waterless” method of cooking. “Waterless” cooking allows for speedily cooking feed on the stovetop at low temperatures and with only a very little amount of water–if any. It cooks in a way that retains closely all the vitamins and solid homogeneous inorgani substances (only 2-percent intermediate solid homogeneous inorgani substance loss)–so veggies come out the same vibrant color as when they went in the pan. Even more, the high-quality cookware does not require further and added grease or oil when cooking, which means low-fat meal options. Steam-cook feed without the need for a steamer basket, bake a chocolate cake on the stovetop–between established cooking and the “waterless” method, the choices are endless.
To ascertain fast, even heating with magnificent heat retention and no hot spots, Maxam’s “waterless” cookware features 304 surgical stainless-steel construction, inside and out, with an encapsulated thick aluminum disk in the base, which comprises of nine elements: chrome, nickel, manganese, silicon, aluminum, iron, copper, molybedenum, and vanadium. The nine-element construction means that the cookware may be stacked, one on top of another, for space- and energy-saving convenience. Start by cooking on person burners; when the steam-release valve in the lid whistles, plainly stack the pans to finish cooking. For example, a hearty stew with carrots and potatoes may cook in the bottom pan, while broccoli cooks in a medium-size pan above that and another veggie cooks in a smaller-size pan on the very top. The self-sealing lids help lock in flavor and nutrients, and they may be inverted for nesting inside the proper pan before stacking or hanging the cookware when not in use. Even more, the thoughtfully designed cookware features nonslip phenolic handles that are welded to the outside (no rivets or screws inside the pan) and may withstand an oven’s heat up to 350 degrees F (though the cookware is designed for stove-top use only–no need to turn on the oven when it’s possible to bake on the stovetop). The handles are immune to heat, cold, and detergents, and they offer a hanging hole at the end to aid save on cupboard space. Safe to use on ceramic, electric, and gas stoves, the cookware carries a fixed lifetime warranty and cleans up without apparent effort by hand with warm, soapy water (pots may go in the dishwasher, but the lids must be hand-washed due to the steam-release valves).

Townecraft? By C. Harrington I had a Townecraft home demonstation and thought it was wonderful. The salesman was great and really made me excited. Then came the price. I’ve bought cars for less than that! I started looking around for that same brand on auction sites and found it 1/2 the price, but still very expensive. I went to the waterless cookware site and decided to give Maxam 9 a shot. It took 2 months to get, but the pans are good heavy quality, very easy to clean, and keep the food moist. Waterless cooking, however, takes patience to get right and you are likely to burn some meals if you stick to the time guidelines in the book. I’ve had them for about two monts now and finally got rid of all of the old teflon and rusty pans…they aren’t coming back. I’ve cooked with the Townecraft pans before and you aren’t going to see enough of a difference to warrant 6-8 times the price. Maxam 9 (World’s Finest) is almost as good and won’t kill your budget. As Zig Ziglar says “It’s easier to justify cost once, than apologize for quality forever” The price is more than what you are going to pay in WalMart, but the cost over a lifetime will be much, much lower because you won’t buy pans again.

information on great set By rejuvenationmd UPDATE: On exactly the 30th day of purchase, while cooking, the skillet lid valve fell out of the lid into my skillet. I am getting a replacement and hope it was just a fluke and not indicative of quality of every set.
