I love my new cookware! It costs quite a bit more than ordinary cookware, but it is worth every penny.
My interest was peaked in Waterless Cookware after reading a book which described the harmful effects of the materials commonly used in cookware - copper, Teflon and aluminum. The same book mentioned that waterless cookware is much healthier. My mom has been using waterless cookware for about 13 years and absolutely loves it. After looking into it, I selected the World's Finest because it has more layers of stainless steel between the aluminum and the food.
Food tastes so much better when cooked in waterless cookware. I found myself eating more vegetables because they were more flavorful. I couldn't get over the difference with carrots - they are considerably sweeter when cooked with waterless cookware. When I first got the cookware I would cook vegetables as I normally did and then cook some in the waterless cookware and try them side by side and I was convinced that this new cookware was much better.
It may take a little longer to cook food, but not by much. There are cookbooks available on line and I highly recommend getting one to give you an idea of how to cook the basics. I like to use a stainless steel steamer that you can buy in the store for vegetables or diced potatoes. Simply cover the bottom of the pan with water and place the vegetables or potatoes on the rack and cover. In the beginning check to be sure there is still water in the pan and to see if they are done until you get a better idea of how long it takes to cook that particular item. Eggs are the hardest item for me to cook in the waterless cookware. I've found that using butter or margarine has the best results, but they still stick a little. If using the poached egg attachment, I would suggest spraying with non stick cooking spray first as they can be very hard to clean.
All of the pots and pans cook equally well. In other words, you don't need the frying pan to fry food or brown meat. While this cookware is considered waterless and/or grease less, you can still cook things that require the use of butter or oil. I wasn't sure in the beginning so I experimented. Grilled cheese, as an example, turns out perfect every time. They are perfectly browned on both sides even in the sauce pan!
Cleaning the cookware is pretty easy - but if you're used to Teflon, it will take some getting used to. To remove food that sticks to the pan simply fill with water after the pan has cooled and allow to soak for about 15 minutes and that usually does the trick. You may choose to use a little baking soda if needed - I wouldn't recommend using baking soda on the outside of the pan, however.
This cookware is fairly easy to use after you learn the basics. I would advise adult supervision if children are using or cleaning the cookware.
