What is the best way to cook in Amway-Queen Stainless steel pans?

I have been cooking in Amway Queen for over 30 years. It's great! To get things started, always make sure there is liquid in the pan, either oil or water. Once it gets going, reduce the heat all the way to simmer or just over simmer, put in the food and put on the lid. For veggies, only use a couple of tablespoons of water, some salt and put in the veggies as soon as the water starts to boil, cover and leave it alone for 4-5 minutes. The lid will form an airtight seal and actually steam the food.

This works a lot better on a gas stove that you can turn way down, almost off. Electric stoves are just to hot, even on the their lowest setting to maximize the efficiency of these pans.

Unfortunately, if you boil it dry, it is possible to destroy the pan (I'm speaking from experience, here!). The pan is two layers of stainless steel, with a center layer of copper, which makes for incredible heat transfer and efficiency. If you overheat it, you can delaminate the layers and end up with a 'bubble' on the bottom of the pan, which makes it fairly useless.

These pans are in a different class altogether from traditional cookware and should be treated well. As noted above, we've had ours for 33 years and they are going strong!
