If I am unable to return this unit the rating will go down.
"Waterless" cooking was born in the 1950s, an era when the typical American housewife would
cook their vegetables by boiling them in a pot of water and then pour the water down the drain
together with most of the soluble nutrition. Waterless does not mean waterless in the
absolute sense (as in frying bacon, or in not using water or oil as you would in any stainless
skillet) but in conserving the nutrition. So traditionally to use
waterless cookware you place a small amount of water (less than 1/4 inch) together with your
vegetables and heat on a Medium flame until steam is escaping around the rim of the lid and the
lid begins to rattle. At this point you turn flame to Low and continue to cook your food. As
the temperature of the vapor in the pot cools it will contract forming a partial vacuum that
will pull the lid down sealing in the nutrition and flavor. So waterless cooking is the
opposite of pressure cooking and is similar in a way to that of a crock-pot.
Moisture condenses on the lid and runs down into the rim of the pot. To function properly a
significant part of it must remain there for the vacuum seal to be formed and maintained.
Finding the precise heat to continue cooking while maintaining the vapor lock is a bit of an art.
The shape of lid with the flat area near the rim is the signature of a waterless set that will
maintain a vacuum seal as described above. It is DECEPTIVE in its APPEARANCE and NOT FUNCTIONAL
on this product.
The flat area near the edge of the lid should be met with a similar area on the skillet itself,
it does not. There is relatively flat ring which is only about four millimeters wide upon which
the lid sits, however, that SLOPES OFF and down to the vertical inside of the skillet. This slope
with the action of gravity and the surface tension of the water draws off the water in the rim.
It is expensive to form steel to the near right angle necessary between the flat of the rim and
the vertical side of the pot or skillet to minimize this. So marketeers have taken the opposite
approach by adopting the idea of 'splatter-less rim waterless cookware' in their dreams.
Also, the lid valve on my unit did leak slightly when in the closed position, it did however
whistle in the open position.
If one is willing to forgo the idea of cooking at low pressure one could still obtain great
benefit from cooking at lower but still safe temperatures (180 to 210 degrees F). I did not test
this idea extensively. However, with nothing in the skillet I did set the temperature control to 300
degrees and using IR thermometer noted that the mechanical controller would regulate clicking off
at 320 and clicking on at 280. Precise: A 40-degree range, really?
Other reviewers complained of oil leaks and splatters from the core. The purpose of the oil core
is to provide an even heat [not precise heat) (this is usually done with aluminum plate between
layers of steel). My unit may have been improved as there was a drip pan for the oil that may come
from an over pressure release. The pan would not however stay attached and would continue to fall off.
There is no provision for replacing oil in the core and requires a warranty return. Lifetime it is NOT.
On the PRO side. If you just want a conventional oil-core stainless steel skillet:
I like that it is made in Korea (rather than China), it looks BEAUTIFUL and professional.
EDIT 2020-09-22 My unit was 1450 Watts as opposed to the 1300 Watts mentioned in the description.
