 Townecraft? |
| Review Date: October 29, 2008 |

| I had a Townecraft home demonstation and thought it was wonderful. The salesman was great and really made me excited. Then came the price. I've bought cars for less than that! I started looking around for that same brand on auction sites and found it 1/2 the price, but still very expensive. I went to the waterless cookware site and decided to give Maxam 9 a shot. It took 2 months to get, but the pans are good heavy quality, very easy to clean, and keep the food moist. Waterless cooking, however, takes patience to get right and you are likely to burn some meals if you stick to the time guidelines in the book. I've had them for about two monts now and finally got rid of all of the old teflon and rusty pans...they aren't coming back. I've cooked with the Townecraft pans before and you aren't going to see enough of a difference to warrant 6-8 times the price. Maxam 9 (World's Finest) is almost as good and won't kill your budget. As Zig Ziglar says "It's easier to justify cost once, than apologize for quality forever" The price is more than what you are going to pay in WalMart, but the cost over a lifetime will be much, much lower because you won't buy pans again. |

| This cookware is a delight to use. Roasts are very tender. Vegetable cook with almost no water. Oatmean and Puddings cook without sticking. |

| This is the Cookware I have been waiting for. Top quality at a reasonable price. It's a perfect match for our induction cooktop. This makes what I think is the most efficient system for cooking in a pot available. More than expected. |
Couldn't be more thrilled

This cookware has been a joy to cook with!
When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by its weight
and craftsmanship.
The "waterless" part is not at all difficult to get the hang
of either.
The set is just beautiful and I look forward
to cooking now!
I did extensive research on different sets before I decided
on this one and I do have to say I did very well with
my choice.
Loving it.

Just got my Maxam 17 piece waterless cookware two days ago and cooked my first meal in them today. I chose to cook Braised Roast Pork Tenderloin with Cabbage and Apples from the cookbook "Healthy Meat and Potatoes" by Charles and David Knight. I had a tough time believing that browning meat without oil or water would work, but I followed the book's (and cookware instruction's) advice and kept the temperature down to medium-high and browned the meat until I was able to move it from it's original "stuck" position (which you will always be able to do if you wait for required length of time to brown), then added the veggies (without water), then added a dome cover and lowered the heat as instructed, then kept the dome on at recommended low temp for time instructed -- WOW, was I surprised. The pork was SO VERY tender and lean and the veggies? GREAT flavor. Very low fat meal with NO SALT ADDED, just a few other spices. Can't wait to use this cookware again. Cleanup was a breeze.. I really think that those who do not appreciate waterless cookware, don't give it a chance by following instructions. You really have to cook on low heat to avoid burning and messy cleanup. This cookware cost me less that the $600 bucks I spent on the Circulon Professional set I bought several years back. I will keep those pieces but plan to rid myself of all other pots and pans I've collected over the years. LOVE THIS COOKWARE!!

| The quality is wonderful, the product works as advertised, they are just a little hard to clean, or should I say they are hard to make spottless, the inside of the pans always show some film or residue (like the outline of rice)after I clean them with a srub pad. I can live with it though, better than eating teflon...I guess. |
I'm in love with my pots

| When I saw that this product was on sale for only $200 vs $1500.00 I had to get it. It was a christmas present to myself considering I racked up on the gift cards. When I received the package, the box was heavier than expected. Each pot is pretty heavy and sturdy. When I finally got to use my pots, it cooked very quickly and kept the food hot a lot longer than my old pots. I even tried the egg poacher for the first time...delicious! I never had poached eggs before so, this was a good experience for me. Even though the pots are greaseless and waterless, I still use a little bit of olive oil and water. Upon first use, the pots do discolor a little bit. I read that stainless steel cleaner does shine them right back up; however, I am looking for an alternative cleaner because I don't want to take the risk of poisoning myself. Anyways, these pots are great! |
Love my new pots and pans

| This product is everything they say it is. The waterless cooking works great, and it was easy to figure out. I noticed I don't need to cook things quite as long as the instructions recommend, so I guess that is a bonus, too. Cleanup is easy. The cookware is heavy and feels like quality. I think you can't go wrong for the price. |

| The quality of each piece is excellent. We've cooked like we always do and have found that we don't need to have high heat for most dishes. The cookware heats up fast. The only thought to consider is that each egg cup is 1 piece. |

| Quality set for the price. Thoroughly enjoy cooking with it. Have had it for 8 - 12 months now and no major complaints. Some stuff sticks to skillet when cooking but don't think that is a fault of the cookware. |

| Along with a new kitchen, we purchased new cookware...You must follow manufacturer instructions for cooking and wash cookware thoroughly before using...The product will cook as promised and is a different way of cooking. The vegetables and meats are healthier and better tasting. The flavors of the food come through. My mother inlaw, has had her set of "maxam" cookware since the early 1960's and is still using it! My brother has just purchased the 7-ply, and is loving it as well (he has tried many other types), and was the one who recommended it to us. |
Great Cookware for the Price

| I've had Classica for 20 years and gave that series to my daughter when she moved out and I bought this Maxam set which is just as wonderful but prettier not just because it is new! I like the long handles since I don't have little children to worry about. I don't cook much anymore but what little I have done in the Maxam has turned out perfect. |

| Just got this set of cookware today and i love it!!! The weight alone of each piece of pot tells that it's gonna last me a long time. I'm just a bit worried about what the other customers are saying about the valves that fall off. I hope it won't happen to me, coz i really love this set of cookware. I've always wanted to buy a set of Saladmaster, but right now, it's not the top priority on my budget and I'm glad I found Maxam cookware online. I have no regrets that I bought this set, even if the valves fall off someday. I think it could be fixed so I'll just worry about that later. It really is worth the money, for $187 plus free shipping, it's definitely a good deal! |
