This is a superb cookware set the number of elements and their versatility alone make this great value but made from the best materials and carrying a lifetime guarantee this set is an investment and should be the last set you ever need to buy.
Heavy weight surgical steel will resist heat and deterioration and the core is made of nine elements: chrome, nickel, manganese, silicon, aluminum, iron, copper, molybedenum, and vanadium what this means is that the superb heat distribution cooks evenly but allows pans to be stacked with heat passing through the core of each, ideal if you are putting on a dinner party and have a limited amount of stovetop space.

Townecraft?,
I had a Townecraft home demonstation and thought it was wonderful. The salesman was great and really made me excited. Then came the price. I’ve bought cars for less than that! I started looking around for that same brand on auction sites and found it 1/2 the price, but still very expensive. I went to the waterless cookware site and decided to give Maxam 9 a shot. It took 2 months to get, but the pans are good heavy quality, very easy to clean, and keep the food moist. Waterless cooking, however, takes patience to get right and you are likely to burn some meals if you stick to the time guidelines in the book. I’ve had them for about two monts now and finally got rid of all of the old teflon and rusty pans…they aren’t coming back. I’ve cooked with the Townecraft pans before and you aren’t going to see enough of a difference to warrant 6-8 times the price. Maxam 9 (World’s Finest) is almost as good and won’t kill your budget. As Zig Ziglar says “It’s easier to justify cost once, than apologize for quality forever” The price is more than what you are going to pay in WalMart, but the cost over a lifetime will be much, much lower because you won’t buy pans again.

|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.
8 advantages of 304 surgical stainless steel
1. corrosion resistance
2 economy
3 temperature resistance
4 beauty
5 durability
6 design flexibility
7 easy to clean
8 flavor protection
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.

Please see additional photos of box with additional information I uploaded above.
All pans (not lids) are oven safe to 350°F.
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.

|Waterless cookware,
This cookware is a delight to use. Roasts are very tender. Vegetable cook with almost no water. Oatmean and Puddings cook without sticking.
