Eastern Home Products Cookware has been selling various cookware products since 1975. We sell SteamControlTM

cookware products via the web, and have sold other cookware products prior to that. We stand behind our products. Up until recently, in-home direct visits were the only way Stainless Steel Waterless cookware was marketed. The prices had to reflect the high overhead of this kind of method.

The stainless steel cookware offered in department stores is of inferior quality by comparison. For example, the retail cookware lids did not fit tightly enough to contain the steam and cook waterless, the pots are not stackable, even for storage, also most of the retail cookware pots were (at most) 3-ply bottom and 1-ply sides, plus many other examples. With the advent of the World -Wide-Web, it allows all of the features and presentations to be made electronically, and makes remote or mail-order marketing of waterless cookware feasible. We have been ahead of the curve

compared to the other companies, and we have passed on the reduced overhead cost to our customers. Most of the other cookware companies are still operating under the same old model.

Why use stainless steel cookware?

• What is 304 Surgical Stainless Steel?

The 304 Surgical Stainless Steel contains about 18% chromium and 8% nickel in addition to the iron. The popularity of 304 surgical stainless steel is due to its gleaming appearance which lasts for the life of a product with just an occasional cleaning. Its excellent corrosion resistance is due to an invisible, passive oxide film that forms on the metal's surface in air. 304 Surgical Stainless Steel is sometimes referred to as T304. Hospitals use surgical stainless steel because it can be kept clean and sterile

• Advantages of 304 Surgical Stainless Steel - Corrosion Resistance - Temperature Resistance - Flavor Protection - Economy - Durability - Cleanability - Design Flexibility - Beauty

Teflon as a toxin

..." - avoid preheating empty non-stick cookware.

- if preheating is necessary, preheat empty pan on medium heat for a MAXIMUM of TWO MINUTES.

CAUTION: As with any non-stick cookware, fumes can be emitted if preheated empty for longer than 3 minutes. - fumes can be fatal to pet birds or cause illness in people."

[from SPECIAL USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS, Non-Stick Cookware, Silverstone/Visions, p 11]

" A south side woman asked for $1,000 in a lawsuit Thursday for the loss of her Polish speaking parakeet and English speaking myna bird. The birds died from the "poisonous and insidious" fumes emitted when the coating on a tea kettle burned on her stove, said Mrs. Lucille Pilsnik, 40, of 2455 S. 6th St. The Teflon coating on the kettle was "dangerous to man, beast and birds " her circuit court suit charged." ...

__________________________________________________________________________________ "Toxic fumes from overheated cooking pans lined with polytetrafluoroetheylene (PTFE, commonly sold under the trade names Teflon and Silverstone) are a little-known but increasingly frequent cause of sudden death in caged pet birds, says a Chicago-area veterinarian specializing in avian medicine.

Aluminum as a toxin

... " One theory proposed to explain Alzheimer's suggests that aluminum plays some role in its development. Aluminum is a neurotoxin damaging to brain cells. Aluminum, when given to rats, produces the same neural fibrillatory tangles in the brain that we see in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The aluminum content of the brains of patients who died of Alzheimer's is ten to thirty times higher than in nondemented individuals. I know several scientists who are so taken with these observations that they personally avoid all contact with aluminum."... (from Womans Day 3/4/86 p.110)

__________________________________________________________________________________

... " Every year, several thousand Americans find they forget to turn off the stove when they leave the house, or they fail to recognize familiar objects or remember the name of the U.S. President. For them, the occasional

absent-mindedness that all people experience is the beginning of the loss of the minds -- and a wasting death." ...

"'Alzheimer's is a tougher disease than AIDS', says Henderson of Johns Hopkins. 'We dont even know the cause of it.' Researchers believe genetics plays a role. A Johns Hopkins study suggests that people who have an affected parent or sibling face a 1-in-6 chance of developing the disease by age 80. Other theories about its causes point to an infectious agent similar to the slow virus that causes rarer brain disorders and to environmental toxins such as aluminum." ..

How to cook with "waterless" cookware for healthier foods

Cooking With EHC Steam Control

Cookware Makes Cooking As Easy As 1, 2, 3, ...

1) Start cooking on medium heat 2) Listen for the whistle

3) Close the valve and turn the heat down to low or simmer to finis h cooking

.

The Basic Rules Are Simple

• Always use the right pan.

Select the pan the food will most nearly fill, as air pockets created by "too large for the food quantity" pans will destroy the vitamins, dry your foods and possibly burn.

• Rinse prepared fruits and vegetables

Rinsing in cold water and then draining is important for 2 reasons: removing harmful chemicals and allowing enough water to cling to the food combine with natural juices and cook the food in its own steam. This is waterless, nutritional cooking. Until you get used to this new method, you may want to add several tablespoons of water.

• Control the heat

Always control the heat throughout the cooking process. If you have heat that is too high, it evaporates the steam and your food burns. With waterless cookware, the control is never on higher than MEDIUM heat. • Get a vapor seal

Start the cooking process on medium heat until the steam control valve whistles in the open position. Then turn the heat down to low or simmer and close the valve. After you do this the lid will form an air-tight heat seal. Watery type food such as apples and cabbage take about three minutes. More solid food such as potatoes and carrots take about five minutes for the lid to seal after turning the heat to low and closing the steam control valve.

• Don’t peek!

Resist that urge to peek! When the cover is removed during the cooking period, heat and steam are allowed to escape. This lengthens the cooking time and dries out the food.

You Can Stack Cook With Our Cookware

The picture below illustrates how you might cook a roast of chicken with potatoes and carrots in the bottom and 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.
