Waterless Cookware vs. Non-Stick

Choosing the right cookware can have a bigger impact on your health, cooking results, and long-term costs than many people realize. Two popular options people often compare are waterless cookware and non-stick cookware, but they work very differently.

Want to cook healthier, cut back on oil, and invest in cookware that lasts? Here’s why waterless cookware could be the game-changer for your kitchen.

Waterless cookware is typically made from high-grade stainless steel and designed with tight-fitting lids and layered construction. This allows food to cook using its natural moisture, often without adding water or oil.

Instead of boiling nutrients away, waterless cooking uses low heat and steam circulation to lock in flavor, vitamins, minerals and aroma.

Key features of waterless cookware:

• High-quality stainless steel construction
• Heavy, multi-ply bottom for even heat distribution
• Tight seal to retain moisture
• No chemical coating

Non-stick cookware is coated with a chemical surface designed to prevent food from sticking.

However, non-stick coatings wear down over time and can be damaged by high heat or metal utensils, which may cause materials to leach into food.

Key features of non-stick cookware:

• Chemical coating for easy release
• Requires low to medium heat
• Limited lifespan
• Needs careful handling

Waterless Cookware

• No chemical coatings
• Supports cooking without oil or butter
• Helps retain nutrients in food
• Safe at high temperatures

Non-Stick Cookware

• Coatings can degrade over time
• Not designed for high heat
• May require replacement every few years

If health and longevity matter to you, waterless stainless steel cookware is considered the safer choice. Eat healthy, live better, live longer.

Waterless cookware excels at:

• Vegetables that stay colorful and flavorful
• Meats that cook evenly without drying out
• One-pot meals and slow cooking

Waterless cookware offers more versatility and professional-level results.

Waterless stainless steel cookware is known for its exceptional lifespan. Many sets are designed to last decades. Our Kitchen Craft cookware is guaranteed for a lifetime.

Non-stick cookware, by contrast, usually needs to be replaced once the coating wears or scratches, sometimes within just a few short years.

Long-term cost matters:
Replacing non-stick pans repeatedly can cost more over time than investing once in waterless cookware.

• Waterless cookware: Dishwasher safe, easy to restore, scratch-resistant
• Non-stick cookware: Requires gentle cleaning, no metal utensils, coating can chip

With proper use, stainless steel cookware becomes easier to clean over time.

Waterless cookware is:

• Recyclable
• Long-lasting
• Free from chemical coatings

Non-stick cookware contributes more waste due to frequent replacement and coating breakdown.

Choose waterless cookware if you:

• Want healthier, greaseless cooking
• Prefer cookware with no coatings
• Value durability and lifetime use
• Enjoy rich flavor and nutrient retention
