STAINLESS STEEL,the most modern development in metallurgical science, is wonderful for any type of cooking. America’s largest canneries, food processors and the better restaurants cook and process food in stainless steel utensils. Stainless steel not only preserves natural food flavors ... it is also easiest to keep sanitary and is immune to wear.

USE YOURSTAINLESS STEELWARE FORHEALTHFUL WATER-LESS COOKING(cooking with minimum amount of water)

The Water-Less way of cooking is highly recommended by leading health and home economics authorities.

Heavy-weight Stainless Steel construction and seal-tight covers assure perfect Water-Less cooking results. Meats and vegetables cooked the Water-Less way (cooking with minimum amount of water) retain their precious mineral elements and vitamins ... and this modern method also preserves the natural flavors and color of the food.
