Because you are cooking with less heat, water and air most of, if not all goodness of your food is retained. Remember the hotter you cook your foods the less goodness you are getting out of it. Boiling, steaming and micro-waving are not good for retaining minerals especially vegetables. Because the type of stainless steel used, these types of cookware are very strong and durable. Waterless cookware is available in some department stores or you can find them online. You might be luckier enough to see a waterless cookware company at a home show or similar. Waterless cookware can range from $500 to $5000 for very well made cookware. But before you purchase waterless cookware thoroughly read the guarantee. Some guarantees are a lifetime with catches such as it does not cover the lids or normal wear and tear. You can pretty much tell how good the cookware is compared to how good the guarantee is, so when shopping play close attention to the guarantee.
