(5 stars) - Maxam Waterless Cookware
Awesome cookware! Handsome to look at and perform every bit as good as company claims.

(3 stars) - Maxam Waterless Cookware
Overall these pots work as they should. They take some getting used re: how long to cook and overall I was surprised at how quickly they cook vegetables. I found that if I waited for the valve to "whistle" then the veggies would burn and overcook, so instead as soon as I see steam coming out of the valve I close it and turn down to simmer. That works well. Biggest problem is the round metal whistle piece that fits into the pot handle falling out into the food during cooking. This happens constantly and I've given up pressing them back in and just leave them out now.

(5 stars) - Love my new pots and pans
This product is everything they say it is. The waterless cooking works great, and it was easy to figure out. I noticed I don't need to cook things quite as long as the instructions recommend, so I guess that is a bonus, too. Cleanup is easy. The cookware is heavy and feels like quality. I think you can't go wrong for the price.

(5 stars) - Better that JC Penney
The quality is wonderful, the product works as advertised, they are just a little hard to clean, or should I say they are hard to make spottless, the inside of the pans always show some film or residue (like the outline of rice)after I clean them with a srub pad. I can live with it though, better than eating teflon...I guess.

(5 stars) - information on great set
UPDATE: On exactly the 30th day of purchase, while cooking, the skillet lid valve fell out of the lid into my skillet. I am getting a replacement and hope it was just a fluke and not indicative of quality of every set.

2nd UPDATE: The replacement fell apart within 30 days in the same manner as my first set. The steam valve fell out of the lid into the pan. I am returning for refund. I do love the oil-less water-less cooking but will look for a set that will last at least a couple of years.

What is 304 surgical stainless steel? The 304 surgical stainless steel contains about 18% chromium and a higher percentage of nickel than "ordinary" stainless steel. The popularity of 304 surgical stainless steel is due to its gleaming appearance which lasts for the life of a product. Its excellent corrosion resistance is due to an invisible, passive oxide film that forms on the metal's surface in air. Sometimes 304 surgical stainless is referred to as T304.

The 9 element steam control system makes cooking as easy as. . .
1 start cooking on medium heat
2 listen for the whistle
3 close the valve, turn heat to low and simmer to finish cooking

YOU CAN STACK THEM
A picture I uploaded above illustrates how you might cook a roast or chicken with potatoes & carrots in the bottom, a vegetable in the middle pan and another vegetable in the top pan. When stack cooking, remember to always start cooking each individual pan on a burner until you hear the steam valve whistle, then close the valve and stack to finish cooking. Heat is transferred from the bottom pan to the top.

I found the pans easier to clean than my 18/10 stainless steel cookware and almost as easy to clean as my 316Titanium Saladmaster. I wonder if those having difficulties followed the written instructions for how to care and clean your cookware: "In case particles of food become burned in your pan, fill the pan with hot water in a hot pan, cold water in a cold pan, and let soak. The scorched particles should easily lift off. If a stubborn burn has been created, partly fill the pan with water and bring to a boil. use a wooden spoon to remove such burned particles. If a stain still remains, it can easily be removed with a good stainless steel cleaner." I haven't had much burn in my pan because i am not frying in them or using over high heat, I am following the directions for low-pressure waterless oil-less cooking.
