I acquired some of the cookware over the summer and I love IT. I saw a demonstration / sales spiel at the California state fair and I was sold. I was worried though, that when I got home, and I attempted to use it that it wouldn't work as well as it probably did at the show. Or that it wouldnt be the same, but it was. It is seriously the best purchase I have made. With that being said, I use it each night, it works incredbily well. The DVD that comes with it is great in showing you how to use it.
My other half Silvia and I try to cook in a healthy style always. She lets the natural liquid from the veggies and beef be the liquid for cooking on the stove. The multi-element steam control cookware lends itself naturally to this. With any recipe with meat, and veg including potatoes, just braise the beef ( no oil or water mandatory ) 30-60 seconds on each side, top with the veggies cover and when beginning to steam a little close the steam control valve. This allows the heat to distribute quickly and uniformly to the point that you may also stack the pans and cook other goodies on top of the first pan and have the same heat distribution.
