History of Vacumatic Waterless Cookware

In the 50s, the idea was conceived to take Waterless Cookware to a new level. Our cookware was originally made by Vollrath in business since 1874. It does not get any more American than this.

What is the difference between Waterless cookware and Vacumatic Waterless cookware?

Waterless cookware is a system of slowly steaming your vegetables without boiling out the flavor and color. (Steam comes to 100 Celsius / 212 Fahrenheit)

It is a much better method of preparing foods, as it will retain most of the flavor and color.

Then the Vacumatic system of food preparation was invented. Vacumatic cookware is a process of cooking your vegetables in a vacuum vapor. By doing so you are cooking below the boiling point (74 Celsius / 165 Fahrenheit) thereby retaining all of the vitamins, nutrients, minerals, natural color and taste.

One simple way to describe the process would be that you can boil water at a lower temperature high in the mountains as there is less pressure in the air.

Some of the features necessary to cook Vacumatically are:

  • Vapor seal to create a partial vacuum
  • Vac-Control valve to allow the steam to escape and lock
  • Heat conducting inner core along bottom and up the side to the rim

Without these features cooking vacumatically in a vacuum vapor would not be possible.

What is Vacumatic Cookware?

Vacumatic is a process of cooking your vegetables in a vacuum vapor.

Other methods, such as steaming, boiling or Microwaving all bring the foods to 100 degrees Celsius / 212 Fahrenheit, which is the temperature where the vitamins, minerals and nutritional goodness start to break down. When cooking in a vacuum vapor, the temperature does not exceed 72 degrees Celsius / 165 Fahrenheit, therefore retaining 98% of all the natural vitamins, minerals, color and taste.

Without features such as the vapor seal, vac-control valve, heat conducting inner core that extends up the side your cookware, you cannot cook the proper Vacumatic Waterless way. This heat conducting inner core also offers energy savings, up to 70%, virtually paying for the cookware in a few years.

The only people paying for Vacumatic cookware are the ones who do not own it. In other words, if this method of cooking can save you over 1000.00 a year in electricity and food costs, then indirectly your current cookware could be costing you this.

We gets calls and emails every week from happy clients going back to the 1950’s. We always hear stories on how new their set still looks and how happy they are that they made the investment. I believe that the first Vacumatic set sold for around $299.00, which was a lot of money in the late 50’s. Click HERE to read some of the stories sent in to us.

We have had the same cookbook for many years, but we recently had a new one written by a team of Nutritionists with fabulous recipes and simple instructions on care and cleaning. We also have a full DVD we include with each set showing everything you need to know on cooking Vacumatically.
