Best surgical stainless steel waterless cookware comprises more than just the stainless steel. It consists of several layers of metal inside a stainless steel casing, with a clamp type lid which prevents steam escaping from the pan during the cooking process. The steam, which is created by the natural juices from the food itself, cooks the contents without the need to add extra water.

Cooking food in it’s own natural juices produces tastier and healthier meals for the whole family. Due to it’s construction it’s only ever necessary to cook on low heat settings which makes it an economical way to produce meals.

Waterless cookware has an iron core and an aluminum or copper plate in the base. There are layers of aluminum or copper which are sandwiched between the outer layers of the stainless steel. These metals encourage the even distribution of heat and help to prevent food from sticking or burning.

The steam valve on the lid of the cooker will indicate when the correct temperature has been reached, and the heat can then be adjusted accordingly.

If you are stack cooking, that is to say placing one pan on top of another with different food items, then this system works extremely well, as the heat rises from the bottom to the top of the pans.

The stainless steel is easy to keep clean, retains it’s luster and is durable. Also there is no danger of metal leeching into the food during the cooking process as stainless steel is non-porous.

Once you’ve tried cooking with waterless cookware you won’t want to go back to cooking in water. The taste of the food will excite your palate and make you realize just what you’ve been missing.
