Salad Master cookware

[Guest guest]

Have any of you heard of or used the Salad Master cookware before? A friend

of mine just went to a show about it and she loved it!! She said it was

amazing because the veggies didn't shrink like they normally would.

Therefore, you ate less and saved money on groceries. She said the food

tasted incredible too.

 

This cookware is VERY expensive. I don't know if it is worth so much of an

expense. I thought I would check around and see if any one else has heard

about it.

 

Thanks,

Tracy

LaDonna,

 

Okay, now you did it! Now want it more than I already did (which was a lot).

I couldn't get over how my friend went on and on about it.

 

I am going to go to her show when she has it but I am so leery of sales

people like that. They know what to say and not to say, know what I mean?

 

I am so glad to have found someone that has used them.

 

I did hear though, that you cannot brown foods in them. Is that something you

have noticed too?

 

Thanks,

 

Tracy

Tracy, I have two Salad Master cookware kettles and love them. They

distribute the heat so nicely and work great for " waterless " cooking. I

received my pieces as a gift from my mother-in-law. The company won't sell

their pieces individually (you have to buy a set) unless you already own a

set. I believe my MIL gave me some of her pieces that she didn't need/use.

I think Salad Master is a great value if you cook according to their

instructions/recommendations. I know some people who have the Salad Master

and use traditional cooking methods, and for them I don't think it is worth

the expense. For families who eat alot of vegetables, legumes, and whole

grains they work great! One of our favorite Salad Master foods: shredded

raw potatoes placed in the double boiler (with holes in the bottom) and

steamed until tender. YUM!

LaDonna,

 

Thanks again for the info. I actually do not do very much cooking that

requires browning things. For us it is mainly veggie, fruits and grains (Oh

my!).

 

My friend is going to have a show but knowing her it will take months for her

to have one. If she doesn't decide to do it soon I think I will go ahead and

beat her to it. Grin

 

Thanks so much for all you do on this list LaDonna, we sure do appreciate you.

Welllllllllllllllllllllllll, I think that would depend upon how much fat/oil

you used in browning! If you turn the Salad Master waterless skillet into a

frying pan and use alot of oil I think it should brown. But, on the whole.

.. .it doesn't brown foods. For that type of cooking my MIL and I use other

types of non-stick pans. For example, I probably wouldn't make pancakes or

fry patties in Salad Master (although a demo person might have an idea how

to go about it).

 

Why don't you invite a Salad Master person to your home to make you a free

meal? I believe this is one of the ways they well their product. . .and you

can invite friends and neighbors in and have a " party " while you decide. My

veggie friends who've done this have enjoyed it alot (as the Salad Master

people really prefer to cook vegetables so don't mind the vegan request).

You are so welcome, Tracy. Thanks for the appreciation. . .I enjoy and

appreciate everyone here too. It really helps to have a support group that

understands special dietary needs. Otherwise it is so easy to feel alone

and frustrated in a vegan and gf kitchen. For me the vegan part is easy. .

..it's the gluten-free that I'm still learning and it can be most unsettling

at times! Having others to share with is so helpful. . .
