Healthy Cooking, Exercise and Good Health
Most of my blogs are relative to use of cooking utensils, recipes and often with a twist of healthy life, suggestions or fun etiquettes goodies. A comment recently posted reminded me of something.
I feel healthy cooking is one of the best ways to help you reach your goal of good health. Eating lots of vegetables, eat lean meats. Unless there is severely high cholesterol, lean beef, and other red meats are certainly acceptable along with fish and poultry in a good mix. and limiting starchy foods. I feel that that the waterless greaseless cooking techniques with waterless cookware, help you reach your goals. of course along with sensible exercise.
Now the post reminded me to mention that always have a good physical prior to starting an exercise program. This is especially true if you have not been exercising over the last 6 months or so. Also especially true for an individual with pre existing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, adult onset diabetes etc. Your physician can help you start on a safe effective exercise program to begin with and tell you how to gradually progress on the program safely. Walking and and cycling in light exercise programs generally are best to start. Eventually the program may be able to progress to jogging, aerobics classes and other activities in time.
So again cooking healthy with waterless low fat techniques like in waterless cookware methods, exercise programs cleared by your doctor and eating sensible amounts of food along with lots of water all contribute to better health.
How To Remove Stains and Discoloration on Stainless Steel Cookware
Your Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware will occasionally get stains on the cooking surface from cooking starchy foods or searing meats. Also a bluish stain can occur on the heating surface from overheating the stainless steel pots.
These stains and discolorations are easily removed using a non abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Make a paste with the cleaner and water then apply the paste with a cloth or paper towel, rubbing it well into the surfaces of the stainless steel cookware and then rinsing with water and drying.
Cooking Steaks with Greaseless Method on Stainless Steel Cookware
Cooking steaks on the Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware 
sets is healthy and fast. Cooking on Stainless Steel requires no additional oil.
Just trim excess fat, preheat the pan om medium until water droplets jump off of the pan. Then place the steak on pan and press down. It will stick temporarily while braising and then will release. Don’t try to flip unti it’s ready to turn. Check by lifting up an edge(generally 4-5 minutes)and when ready the meat releases itself. Then flip it and cook to your preferrence.
On thick cuts or roasts you would cook another 3-4 minutes then turn on low and cover. Cooking for 30-40 minutes for full roasts. Have fun with it.
Caring for your Waterless Cookware
With Waterless cookware as with all Stainless Steel Cookware you should wash it after each use with warm soapy water and scrub with a dish cloth or nylon net scrubber. Then rinse with warm tap water thoroughly and dry. Never use abrasive, metal scrub pads as these will scratch the surfaces.
You can also always use a dishwasher as well. Doing it soon or soaking first for a while in water if anything burnt or stuck to bottom, then washing it will help to avoid pitting from salt if it is undissolved or condenses on the bottom of the pan.
The bright like new shine should last a long time with caring for your Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware.
