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.
Meat can be cooked without adding any extra oil and this means you are consuming less fats. The meat doesn’t stick or burn and is cooked in half the time, saving on gas or electricity. Vegetables are cooked in their own juice which helps to retain the vibrant colours in the vegetables.
For busy people waterless cookware can help provide the family with good healthy and nutritious meals fast.
