Excellent Waterless Cookware
Hi y'all,If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I try to tell you what I think about the item, rather than gush or slam emotionally.I got on the waterless cookware research kick after attending a Saladmaster party. I loved the idea of waterless for the health benefits and flavor of the food, as well as the quality of construction of the surgical steel pieces. My husband is a full time seminary student, and I homeschool our children. There is no way we will ever be in a position where $2000-5000 for a set of cookware will be a good buy in our opinions. I am not impugning Saladmaster, at all. I'm saying we can't afford it, and even if we could, I don't have it in me to shell out that much money for pans.What anyone considering this cookware needs to consider is that waterless is a distinctive, and probably a new way of cooking. It requires adjustment in practice and thinking unless you already cook waterless. The idea is to cook the foods at...

Not what I expected; Still very nice. 22 Pcs Listed; Pics Referenced
If you want to know exactly what you are going to get, read on for an intricately detailed description with references to the product pictures that I uploaded...This set is not what I expected. I thought that this was a name brand, but there are no markings anywhere that say "Chef's Secret" and all pieces are made in China.The bottom of the pieces are stamped "Multi Ply 12-Element; Surgical Stainless; Waterless Greaseless" (see pic). The inside of each handle is stamped "Mfg. in China, Nat'l Headquarters USA" but is too light and small to take a picture. The Limited Lifetime Warranty is backed by "CSC," which has a P.O. Box address in Dallas, Texas. I am assuming this is the US Headquarters.Brand name and country of origin aside, these pieces are very solid/durable, look beautiful, and are a pleasure to cook with. In my opinion, they are well worth the "discount" price that Amazon and other retailers are selling them for, but I would not buy them at...

Wonderful cookware!
I've had this set for several years and absolutely love it. Clean-up is a breeze - and yes, I've burned things in these pots. Soaking the pan removes most of the burned-on food - an SOS or Brillo pad takes care of the rest. The lids can rest in the handles when you need them to - a feature I really like. The set also allows for stack cooking - a great help during the holidays! The waterless/greaseless method of cooking allows the natural flavor of foods to really pop. Don't add salt to vegetables - they will taste way too salty if you do. Try cooking corn on the cob in it - it comes out tasting like it's been salted AND buttered! Start out anything you cook on medium heat and then lower your temperature to medium low or low for the remainder of the cooking time. You should never have to use high heat ever again. Try stuffing a whole chicken with peppers and onions, throw in some potatoes and carrots, and you'll have one of the most wonderful meals ever - season the meat...
