Advantages of using waterless stainless steel cookware!

Whether you are an experienced cook or just a novice, stainless steel cookware will make your life in the kitchen easier and more enjoyable. This type of cookware has become more and more popular. Why? It is made up of a mixture of metals. It combines iron, nickel, chrome and various other metals. Because stainless steel alone is not a good conductor of heat, additional metals offer the user the best of all worlds. Encapsulated flat bottoms typically have copper or aluminum components that allow for even heat distribution. You never have to worry about hot spots and therefore sticky doughs!

Advantages of waterless stainless steel cookware

The popularity of this kitchen utensil can be attributed to its advantages. They include:

• Healthier and tastier meals. If you use waterless stainless steel cookware, cooking and eating will be a pleasure. Not only will you cook healthier because you use less fats and oils in the food preparation process, but by not consuming water, your food will cook in its own juices. The result improves flavor and texture with minimal loss of vitamins and minerals. Foods cooked without oils and fats lower calories and cholesterol.
• Durable and strong metal.. With proper care, it should last a lifetime. It is not prone to chipping, rusting, or even staining. It will not dent or scratch easily. You don’t have to worry about pan particles getting into your food. While these cookware are made from steel and other metal alloys, it is only stainless steel on the outside of your cookware. Therefore, you will never taste any of the metal alloys in the food you cook. The protective non-stick coating prevents that from happening.
• Hard and non-porous metal. This makes it crack and leak proof. Due to its surface, it is typically found in hospital settings because it is one of the most sterile surfaces. 304 surgical stainless steel prevents the growth of bacteria because it is corrosion resistant, temperature resistant, and does not easily scratch or deform. With proper care, your cookware will stay looking like new for quite some time.
• Easy maintenance. Proper maintenance does not require much time; however, you can ensure that your cookware will look like new in 10 to 20 years. This cookware contains nickel, an alloy that helps maintain that polished new look.
• Multi-layer stainless steel cookware disperses heat evenly. Stainless steel is not a good conductor of heat. However, the aluminum added to the bottom enhances this heat transfer process. This ensures that the heat is distributed throughout the pan and that food is cooked evenly and quickly. Ease of use and reduced cooking time allow you to spend more time on other enjoyable activities.
• Safe kitchen utensils to use. Unlike Teflon, particles from the pot or pan will never flake off or get into your food. You don’t have to worry about metal poisoning. However, there’s an exception. If you are allergic to nickel, you should avoid using stainless steel cookware.

There seems to be a lot of debate about what “cooking without water” means. Does it mean no water at all? Some would say that cooking without water means “without water” at all. However, the most popular opinion is that a little water should be added. How much really depends on the type and amount of food you are preparing. Dry foods, like beans, rice, and pasta, require water. With other foods, the general rule of thumb is to add 1 ounce of water per quart of cookware. However, this is just a guide. Once you gain experience with waterless cookware and your stove, you can modify this to your personal taste.
