Waterless Pot

April 11th, 2010

Cooking casseroles usually means long cooking periods, and the waterless pot is ideal for this purpose. Because of the unique structure of the pots there’s no need for water to be added whilst cooking and the temperature of the inner pot is carefully regulated.

A waterless pot consists of two pots, one slightly smaller than the other. The smaller pot fits inside the larger one and tapers away slightly from the outer edge of the larger pot. Once food is placed in the smaller pot, the lid will seal the surface and cooking can begin. The steam created within the pot will gently and slowly cook the food whilst retaining the natural nutrients, resulting in a delicious and healthy meal.

All waterless cookware works on the same principle, i.e., to retain the foods natural taste and goodness without the need to add water, which can dilute the vitamin and minerals, or grease, which adds to one’s fat intake.

Made of surgical stainless steel the pots structure consists of several layers of metal, all of which are covered by stainless steel. Stainless steel does not leech metal fragments into food whilst cooking and is therefore an ideal product for this purpose. The inner layers of the pots are constructed with aluminum and copper which helps to produce the heat and evenly distribute it throughout the cooking period.

All pots are flat based so that all the food is cooked at the same time, and this in turn prevents burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.

A waterless pot can be a great asset in the kitchen, particularly if you work full time and have a family to feed. You can produce delicious meals with the minimum of effort, and won’t have to scrub or soak the pots for hours in order to get them clean.

Waterless Cookware

April 7th, 2010

Waterless cookware is made up of several layers of aluminium or other heat producing metals, for rapid heat distribution. An outer layer of stainless steel contributes to the conduction of heat more evenly.

Some cookware has a steam release valve in the lid that seals the moisture inside, and this lid is one of the essential elements in waterless cooking.

As the liquid in the food heats up, it vaporizes and triggers the seal in the lid which keeps the steam trapped inside. The steam gradually builds up and rushes out through the steam valve making a hissing sound that tells you it’s time to adjust the heat so that the food can continue to steam cook.

The bottom of the cookware is flat which ensures it’s heat distribution is constant throughout the whole of the base and can be used on electric or gas cookers.
Although aluminium is used in the making of the cookware, at no time does it come into contact with food. The outer layer of stainless steel is completely harmless and will not leech unwanted chemicals into the cooking.

By using waterless cookware the valuable vitamins and minerals are retained in the food and for this reason it’s considered to be a far healthier way to cook. It’s without doubt a healthy way to prepare meals, and your food will look and taste better.
