FAQs About Waterless Cookware Sets

By Lakisha Barton


Switching over to waterless cookware sets is something that many households are doing. These use less water and fats. The result is healthier, easier cooking. This is something that every cook can feel good about. Your food will keep many of the vitamins and minerals when it is cooked this way. It also keeps more of the flavor. Many people who try these say that they will never go back to their old pots and pans. These make the entire cooking process easier and faster, not to mention better tasting.

One question that is heard very often is if you do in fact never use water. This can be a bit misleading. While the name might imply none whatsoever is used, the fact is that you will use water. However, you will be using very little.

Rather than boiling vegetables, these pots allow you to steam them. You will use a small amount of water. One quarter cup or less. By preparing your vegetables this way, they retain more of their nutrients. The vitamins and minerals that escape during boiling are kept in the foods when you cook this way. This is better for the entire family.

Another benefit is the taste. Your foods will retain more of their flavor. Even foods cooked with butter will only require a tiny amount which means they are cooked with less fats. They are healthier and better tasting. This is a winning combination.

It is said that these pots and pans make cooking easier, how could that be is a query that is heard often. Once the food is placed in the pot and ready for cooking. You place the lid on and you leave it. You do not have to stand at the stove stirring. You not only do not have to do this, but you should not do this.

Something that anyone using these for the first time must know is how to use the pans. You should put your small amount of water in the pan, then place the food inside. You should then place the lid on the pot. Set the burner to medium. Be sure that the valve on the lid is open. Once the valve begins to whistle, close the valve. When the food is finished, open the valve and allow the steam to escape. You can then remove the lid and enjoy your tasty food.

The reason for the better taste is that more of the flavor is retained. When foods are cooked in water, not only are the nutrients taken out, but so is the flavor. This method keeps the flavor in the food. Your meals will taste as they are intended to. You will find that with more flavorful meals there will be less need to add salt.

Waterless cookware sets come in a variety of sizes for preparing all of your favorite dishes. Choose the set that best meets your cooking needs. If you are replacing your existing cook sets, you may want to start out small and then add to it. Eventually, you will be able to replace all of your old pots and pans. Once you use this type, it will be hard to go back to using anything else. Buy the best quality pieces that you can afford. You want items with flat bottoms made of high grade materials.
