Best Tips For Cooking With 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.

These sets come with special well fitting lids. These lids work with the pots to form an airtight seal. This airtight seal keeps the small amount of water used from being able to escape. This in turn allows you to cook without worry about food sticking. You do not have to worry about stirring food.

When using these pans, place the food and the small amount of liquid into the pan. Use the appropriate lid for the pan. Use the medium setting to begin the process. Be sure that the valve on the lid is open. Once the valve begins making a whistle sound, close it and lower to lower the heat to the low setting. Keep the lid in place to avoid allowing the steam to escape. Once the food is cooked, open the valve. Let the steam out and then remove the lid and serve.

You do not have to worry about mixing foods and checking on them. Foods do not dry out this way. The food remains moist and the flavor stays locked in. You do not want to open the lids to stir. This will allow the steam to escape and will result in longer cooking times.

Are you able to use lids that you already have for your new pots and pans is something else that cooks wonder about. You cannot. The lids must have the valve in order to create the steam needed to cook the foods.

Waterless cookware sets are a wonderful addition to every kitchen. Choose a well made set that used quality materials. This is not something that you want to skimp on. A well made set will have flat bottoms to aid in even heat distribution. They will be able to stand up the rigors of a busy kitchen. It is a good idea to read some reviews before choosing a set. This way you get the benefit of hearing about experiences from others who have used them before you.
