Over a million synthetic pots and pans are tossed in landfills each year. These nonstick wonders don’t seem to last very long, 3 to 5 years is common. If you’re re-investing in new cookware, consider replacing your Teflon with a far more cost-effective solution. Consider the value of Stainless Steel Waterless cookware.

The Investment

Comparably priced nonstick stainless steel waterless cookware (between $150 and $250) will save a heap of severe coin over the years. These quality pots and pans are warranted to last for your lifetime.

The Bargain

Durability is a good measure of value. If cookware doesn’t last, it’s no bargain. Too, it’s best to cook on a nonstick surface free of toxicity. Teflon fuming, peeling and erosion represent a severe health hazard as does leaching from soft metal cooking surfaces like copper, aluminum, cast iron and others.

Stainless steel waterless utensils confidently provide the idealisti nonstick cooking surface free of toxic peril or continuous ‘seasoning’ to manage rust, “…the nearest thing we have to the idealisti chemically inert but thermally responsive pan” says Harold McGee in On Food and Cooking: the Science and Lore of the Kitchen: Scribner 2004, page 791. (Search ‘Waterless Cookware: Hype or the Real Thing’ for more on McGee).

The Bonus

Imagine the value of having a lifetime to explore and get enjoyment from the most hygienic, responsive, food-friendly, cook-friendly, earth-friendly and health-friendly set of pots and pans you may own. Yes, ‘friendly’ because cooks, feed and cookware are best served when engaged in a supportive relationship, one of consistent service and celebration, learning and triumph.

Included in this friendship are family, friends and another very important fellow member to be invited, seated and served at the dining table, one of robust taste and aroma, of natural nutrients and energy, of wholesome vitality and healing health. There’s no substitute for nature’s honorable foods, no ‘fortified’ material worthy of the name ‘whole food’ (search ‘waterless cookware, the healthful choice‘).

The Value

It’s no mystery that much of today’s feed has evolved for the sake of comfortableness and not nutrition. The composition and function of innovative cookware has evolved as well, and not for the better. For example, synthetic or ceramic coatings on the inside and colorful enameled coatings on the outside don’t reflect cookware value, good health or good sense. Coatings are cosmetic at best, ‘cover-ups’ employed to lesser grades of steel used in fabrication. Look beneath the skin for a lifetime of value.

Let’s revisit the aim of feed (and the cookware that cooks it) to more totally be grateful for the value of quality stainless steel waterless cookware:

Cooking is actually a moment of truth, a culmination of nature’s feed cycle, a moment when the critical cache of earth’s nutrient goodness is tastefully intensified or sadly wasted. A pot or pan is more than an appliance to heat processed feed material or boil away nature’s cherished minerals, vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants. Real feed deserves better. There’s plainly more to the improving soils of organic vegetables and free-range meats, more to engage the palate, the nose, the eyes, more to savor and surely more to revitalize and re-energize. We are, after all, only as healthful as the health of that which we eat. To that end, pots and pans are a huge contributor to the nutritional and savory fate of foods. Much may be gained or lost in the simple act of cooking.

Stainless steel waterless cookware honors and retains the goodness of nature’s honorable efforts. As with good friends or marriage or other maturing relationships, a cooperative relationship with feed and cooking takes time to be grateful for and thrive. It helps to have cookware that’s reliable, steady, dependable, trusted, competent of idealisti cooking conditions plainly and effortlessly mastered. Cooking is life long. We might as well mature a friendship with cookware lasting and worthy sufficient to nurture and sustain this kind of relationship.

The Return on Investment

Your grandma likely employed similar pots and pans way back when. Stainless Steel cookware isn’t new, but grandma’s originals lacked numerous of today’s Waterless features:

- Multi-ply stainless steel fabrication, 5-, 7-, or 9-ply 18/10 chromium/nickel construction for quality

- Capsulated heat-conductive parts (copper, aluminum, etc.) for unparalleled low-heat cooking

- Steam Control covers to totally preserve and retain nutritious vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants

- Thermally responsive, effective utensils to cook faster, safer, more evenly and economically

These and a great deal of other improvements now render today’s waterless utensil competent of cooking feed the way it was meant to be cooked, the way Mother Nature intended her vegetables and meats to be served, to the full or entire extent appreciated, wholly valued, to a complete degree themselves. To serve anything less isn’t a bargain, it’s a wasted chance for all concerned, peculiarly food.

When real feed is experienced (cooked as Mother Nature intended), one have a tendancy to fabricate an honorable taste and firm loyalty. My acquired personal preference of 30 years as family cook, and my business specialty, is Stainless Steel Waterless pots and pans. Being in the business I’m convinced I speak for others in this distinguishing trait when I percentage this fact: not a day goes by without hearing from folks looking to replace a pot handle or lid knob on their cookware. These little attachments, lasting as they are, ultimately wear out. Here’s a sample of today’s client requests from ChoiceCookery’s on-line Contact Us page:

“I have a set of Flavor-Seal by Cory cookware that I purchased in 1963. I need to replace the handles on the huge fry pan. Are they available?”

“My mom has a set of Miracle Maid pans she got when she was married. She loves them, but the electric fry pan has a short in the cord and we would like to get a new cord. Can you help us?”

“I need to replace the vented knobs on my Royal Queen waterless cookware. I have had it for 27 years and I love it but over time the knobs have started out to lose their capacity to seal the moisture in. Could you give me selective information in regards to how to order? Thank you in advance.”

“I can’t find Nutri-Seal anywhere. Can you support me? I need a new handle on my 8qt stock pot.”

“I’d like to order a vent knob for my set, Maxam KT17. It has been thirty years since I brought them home, lots of cooking mishaps along the way and the handle on my roaster at last broke. Please call me.”

We called. And yes, all these cooks were relieved to recognise replacements are still available.

1) Trust a brand that’s here to stay. Maxam, the brand we represent, has been innovating and manufacturing stainless steel waterless cookware for over 60 years.

2) For businesses like ours, there’s a beauteous sarcasm here. Unlike disposable bargain cookware, our pots and pans last a lifetime. Our clients return of course, ordinarily to buy a set of cookware for their grown children or a grandchild’s wedding, perhaps a handle or knob for themselves (a $12 substitute effortlessly attached, adding another 30 years of cookware service and value). These folks tend to percentage the good news with family and friends. Too, they’re experiencing a cookware cooperative relationship they are not with regards to to give up! Loyalty is frankly earned and yes, priceless.

The Bottom Line

Look beyond 3-to-5 years. Invest in cookware that matures your kinship with feed and cooking. For me, it’s with regards to two hats I wear and a bond that ties them together, a hat I experience daily as family cook and a friendship with clients embracing the simple joys and lifelong value of waterless pots and pans.

Your friendship with feed and cooking merely can’t be explored, experienced and enjoyed using cookware less capable than stainless steel waterless pots and pans. Bargain prices and cosmetic glitz just can’t be grateful for in value. Consider cookware you’ll never have to (or want to) replace. Real value keeps giving for your lifetime, but that’s just our warranty. Cook healthy, eat honestly, and thrive.

Waterless cookware
By gingerlead
I love to cook with the cookware however the lids have a valve that quickly falls apart and does not hold up to normal use. The lid then does not hold the pressure in on the foods being cooked which allows the moisture to escape (these are the food moistures that would have cooked the food).

World’s Finest Ply Steam Control 17 Piece Stainless Steel Cookware

The product is quite amazing. You will taste vegetables like it’s the first time you’ve ever tasted them! And other meats,fish & chicken area great! The cleanup is a little hard to say. To get it pretty clean is not that hard,but to get it spotless takes a little more work. A solution of apple cider vinegar works very well.
The paperwork however has a little to be desired. For example the directions & cooking tips seem to have a little lost in the language translation or are just vague at times. Also the warranty process is frankly quite shocking,it states to send in the product to a P.O. box in Texas with a check presumably blank to pay for return shipping & handling. Also there was no number to contact the company to find out about this process or if one would like to purchase additions items or handles since they are not covered at all. But from what I can tell one shouldn’t have any problems with the exception of the handles if you burn them or maybe the valves which is also the handle on the lids so be careful of that. All in all it’s definitely worth it!

If you want to buy this cookware from Amazon, be aware that the price fluctuates wildly. When I started shopping for this cookware, I saw it priced at Amazon in the $300′s. Some time later, the price went down to the $190′s. Then it went up again to the high $200′s. Finally, I bought the set on 9/12/08 for $181.52. A week later, the price dropped to $155.73. I was able to get a price match. Today, as I am writing this review, the price is at $348.30.

I like the cookware. Everything feels high quality except for the lid knobs. I can’t understand why they would put such cheap feeling lid knobs on what otherwise is an excellent cookware set. Except for these knobs, it has the same feel as the $2000 sets that you see at country fairs. But considering the price I paid for it and free shipping, the cookware is a very good value.

My wife likes cooking vegetables with it. It’s easier and quicker than having to boil water. The cookware does stain or suffer some discoloration on the inside after some use. Also, try not to burn food in it. It’s not nearly as easy to clean as those non-stick teflon sets.
