I have a confession to make. The part I dislike the most about cooking is cleaning up. Am I right, girlfriend? And no one can make a bigger mess than me. But when stainless steel cookware like 360 Cookware comes along and nothing sticks to it, cooking has become fun again. And get this. No oil needs to be added to the pan!
To add to the fun 360 Cookware offered to give away three 1 quart sauce pan to my Green Talk readers. Aren’t you all lucky dogs? They figured why should I be the only one having so much fun?
Anna, come’on. What is wrong with Teflon?
But before I get into the contest, I just want to explain why I hate Teflon pots. According to the Environmental Working Group,
“In two to five minutes on a conventional stovetop, cookware coated with Teflon and other non-stick surfaces can exceed temperatures at which the coating breaks apart and emits toxic particles and gases linked to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pet bird deaths and an unknown number of human illnesses each year, according to tests commissioned by Environmental Working Group (EWG).”
No PTFE for me, folks.
But No Oil. Are you Kidding?
Yes. You heard me right. No oil is need to cook delicious food. How do I know? First I watched a live cooking demonstration and interviewed Greg Wayman, the Vice President of Sales about the 360 Cookware. But just in case Greg is a magician and pulled a fast one on me, the Company wanted me to check it out myself.
I admit. I am no Barefoot Contessa or Giada in the kitchen. But I found that that my food really tasted good without the added oil. See the below video as a I cook meat for the cavemen (ie my carnivore men/children of my family) and then onions an peppers in order to make Tofu Tacos.
Still not convinced? Check out the Company’s demonstration video.
How Does this Work?
The secret behind this cookware is vapor technology. The Company states
“Vapor Technology allows you to cook utilizing a low to medium heat because the design and metal are so efficient that your food permeates evenly from all sides, allowing food to cook in its own natural juices without the excess water or grease other skillets and saucepans require.”
Think a pot and semi-pressure cooker in one. Similar to a pressure cooker, it seals in the juices of the food. However, it doesn’t cook the food as quickly as a pressure cooker.
Why Do I Love this Pot?
- Stainless steel. No secret black coating that I am not sure if it is safe or not
- Easy to clean. Nothing sticks. My regular stainless steel pans are not easy to clean.
- No oil, mom! Why do I have to add extra oil to my food to cook with it?
- Food is delicious.
- Even cooking. No more burning your food in different areas of your pans.
- Can put the pan in the stove up to 400 F.
- Lifetime warranty.
- Cooking on lower heat saves you energy costs.

Moroccan soup, yum!

– 4 artichoke hearts, cut into bite size pieces (if you buy the one’s in the jar, rinse them first to remove other additives like salt)

– 3 scallions, thinly sliced
– 1/4 C fresh chopped parsley
– 1 Tbsp fresh chopped basil
– 1/2 tsp cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp cayenne
– 1/2 tsp oregano (ground)

Reduce heat and add all other ingredients
Simmer for about 10 minutes or until zucchini is cooked
Enjoy!

I’m not sure which is the problem but either my stove top or current cookware deter me from cooking anything on the stove. Everything smokes. :/ I tried to cook an egg and on the lowest setting it was smoking. After having a pot of oil burst into flames I’m not ok with anything smoking!
Anyway, my favorite thing for my husband to cook on the stove top is bacon.

Maybe I’m weird, but I just love making eggs and bacon. You’d think it would be easy to make eggs. However, I have tried 7 different pans and I can’t find one that won’t make it difficult for me to get my eggs out without breaking the yolk! It’s a nightmare, ‘cuz even the ones that say you don’t need spray or oils have issues. Anyway, there’s my truth.
