Durotherm Cooking Methods
Waterless Cooking
(use this method for vegetables and potatoes)When Durotherm Cookware is heated, steam is produced inside by the food that is cooking. The unique convex lid creates a convection effect that bastes the food in its own moisture as it cooks. In addition, the condensation of steam is collected in the groove between the casserole and the lid forming a seal and preventing heat loss. Oxygen can't get in, so vitamins are preserved and the food keeps its bright, natural colors!
Fat-free frying and browning
(use this method when cooking meats or chicken)Use Durotherm to brown meat and chicken without the use of fats or oils. Browning the meat seals in the natural juices and after the meat is turned the lid is placed on the pan for a few minutes to finish cooking. The results are moist and succulent.
