1. Rinse Prepared Fruits and Vegetables
Rinsing in cold water and the draining is important for 2 reasons:
Removing harmful chemicals and allowing enough water to cling to the food to combine with natural juices and cook the food in its own steam. This is waterless, nutritional, healthy cooking. Add 1/4 inch of water to provide enough steam to cook your vegetables and to activate the steam control valve.
2. Control The Heat
Always control the heat throughout the cooking process. If you have heat that is too high it evaporates the steam and your food burns. With waterless cookware the control is never on higher than MEDIUM heat.
3. Get A Vapor Seal
Start the cooking process on medium heat until the steam control valve whistles in the open position. Then turn the heat down to a low simmer and close the valve. After you do this the lid will form an air-tight heat seal. Note: if steam is escaping around the lid, reduce heat to a lower setting.
Solid foods, such as potatoes and carrots, take about five minutes before the steam control valve whistles. More watery type foods, such as apples or cabbage, take about three minutes.
4. Don't Peek
Resist the urge to peek! When the cover is removed while cooking, heat and steam are allowed to escape. This lengthens the cooking time and dries out the food.
5. Vacuum Release in Knob
If the lids lock on when food is done, simply open the valve to release vacuum and remove lid.
Energy Efficient
Waterless, healthy cooking is done with economical low heat. Just like insulation in your house, the waterless cookware saves a lot of money over the years on utility bills. The built in steam control valve whistles like a tea kettle to let you know when to turn down the heat from medium to low or simmer.
Special Cover Design
The covers are specially designed to form a natural "water-seal" with the shoulder of the pan when cooking on low heat. This is the secret of successfully cooking the healthy minimum moisture way. This self sealing feature helps to retain the food moisture with its valuable minerals and delicious flavors.
You Can Stack Cook with Waterless Cookware
The picture below illustrates how you might cook a roast or chicken with potatoes and carrots in the bottom and the vegetable in the middle pan and another one in the top pan. When stack cooking, remember to always start cooking each individual pan on the burner until you hear the steam valve whistle, then close the valve and stack to finish cooking. Heat is transfer from the bottom pan to the top.
Healthy, Tastier Meals
With waterless/Greaseless Cookware you will enjoy a wonderful new method of healthy cooking. Foods cooked the modern, minimum moisture way help retain the greatest percentage of nature's health giving minerals and vitamins; elements which are dissolved in water are boiled away when cooked in water. The greatest favor you can do for your family is to prepare food that provides maximum nourishment. Foods cooked the low heat, minimum moisture way have more flavor. Vegetables and fruits retain appetizing colors, meats can be roasted on top of the stove and become tender, juicy and delicious. You can cook without oil or grease for lower cholesterol.
