  • Waterless, greaseless cooking that protects vitamins, minerals, texture, and flavor.
  • T316 surgical stainless steel with multi-ply cores for fast, even heat.
  • Patented temperature control & whistle that tells you exactly when to turn the heat down.
  • Lifetime-quality cookware that can replace “disposable” pans and gadgets for years to come.

Why “Normal” Cooking Costs You Nutrition

The video breaks this down: the way food is heated and the materials you cook on matter just as much as what you put in your cart.

Boiling Away Vitamins

Traditional boiling leaches water-soluble vitamins and minerals out of your food and into the water — which usually gets poured straight down the drain.

Microwave Side Effects

Microwaves blast food with electromagnetic energy, which can compromise texture, aroma, and the overall quality of the meal you serve.

Coatings & Cheap Metals

Nonstick coatings can off-gas at high heat and eventually flake. Soft metals like aluminum can react with acidic foods. Add heavy oils and grease on top, and you’ve got extra calories without extra nutrition.

Inside the Ultra Tech II Cooking System

The cookware is built from the inside out to move heat efficiently, protect your food, and make “set it and forget it” style cooking actually possible on the stovetop.

  • 4-ply encapsulated base: a thick aluminum core, bonded with a silver layer and wrapped in surgical stainless steel, spreads heat quickly across the bottom.
  • 5-ply thermal core up the sides: pure aluminum and aluminum alloy bonded between stainless-steel layers carry heat evenly up the walls of the pan.
  • Surgical stainless finish: mirror-bright, easy to clean, and one of the most sanitary cooking surfaces you can use.
  • Ultra Seal water well: a deep, engineered groove in the lid collects condensation and creates a gentle vacuum, so food bastes in its own natural juices.
  • Ultra Temp control & whistle: a built-in temperature gauge with a whistle that tells you when the pan hits cooking temp — so you can drop the heat and cook low without guessing.
  • Ultra Grip handles & self-storing lids: ergonomic, textured handles with flame guards, oven-safe to 375°F, plus lids that invert for stacking or rest on the handle while you season.

What This Actually Means for Your Kitchen

The tech is cool, but here’s what you’ll feel every time you cook with it.

More Nutrition on the Plate

Cooking at lower temperatures with minimal water helps keep natural color, texture, and nutrients in your veggies, meats, and grains instead of in the sink or burned onto the pan.

Less Oil, Less Shrinkage

Waterless, greaseless techniques mean you can cook meats without extra fats and with less moisture loss, so proteins stay juicier and portions go further.

Faster, Easier, More Predictable

The whistle and temperature control let you know when to turn the heat down. Once it’s set, the pan holds a steady cooking environment so food is less likely to burn or dry out.

How Waterless Cooking Works (Real-World Examples)

These are straight from the demo in the video — simple, repeatable methods you’ll use every week.

Fresh Vegetables

  1. Cut veggies and fill the pan to about two-thirds full.
  2. Rinse under filtered water, then drain — leave just the water clinging to the vegetables.
  3. Cover with the valve open and start on medium heat.
  4. When you hear the whistle, close the valve and turn the heat to low.
  5. In minutes you get tender, vibrant vegetables with their natural color and flavor intact.

Frozen Vegetables

  1. Add frozen veggies directly to the pan with no extra water.
  2. Cover with the valve open and cook on medium until the whistle sounds.
  3. Close the valve, drop the heat to low, and finish cooking in their own steam.

Meats & Poultry (No Added Grease)

  1. Preheat the pan on medium. Flick in a few drops of water — when they “dance,” it’s ready.
  2. Add the meat. It will stick at first, then release naturally as a crust forms.
  3. Once seared, cover the pan and wait for the whistle.
  4. When it sounds, close the valve, reduce to low, and let it gently finish cooking.
