Does anyone own this cookware or had experience with it?

I don't really see any special benefits in cooking in Waterless Cookware...
The real and great quality cookware is obscenely expensive. A set of pots and pans from HealthCraft can range from $2000 to over $5000!

Haven't used it, never even heard of it and I used to work at a kitchen store that sold cookware. For the price you could get copper core All-clad.

Well, its all about the concept not so much the material.

I only know about it because someone I know sells it (a specific brand) that you can't buy in stores. They do make it a special way that conducts heat so you don't have to use as much electricity to cook.
The advantage of cooking veggies is that it is suppose to retain all the vitamins in the food as oppossed to boiling or even steaming it all out.
The person I know has made lasagna in one pan. He says he can cook it in about half an hour. I tried it and it was pretty good, but nearly as good as my homemade lasagna.

My mother-in -law had a set of waterless purchased at one of the home parties in the early 1970's. I remember it as the best cookware and I really coveted it. My nephew is still using it today and if he would clean it good it would still look new. No dents or dings in the stainless and the lids still fit perfectly. If I could afford it I would love to have a set.

Labart... do you know the name of the set? there are I think 4 different brands with 4 different prices.

Kitchencraft made in the USA. It is really expensive.

Finally, a reason to own a pressure cooker. Forget the pressure weight, just stop up the vent slightly and turn the burner down real low and voila, for $19.95 a waterless cooking pan.

where you can get $20 waterless cooking pan?
