WHY DOES THIS SET NOT HAVE A STEAM-RELEASE
VALVE KNOB LIKE THE OTHER MAXAM SET?

Believe it or not, waterless cookware has been around for over 50 years, since the 1950s, and the biggest difference between those first sets and most of the sets around today are the knobs. In fact, that's the main difference between this set and our other Maxam set (and the reason it cost less). With the plain knobs you will never have to worry about a malfunction occurring with the mechanism of the inner workings of the knob because this set has neither a steam valve nor a thermostat inserted in the knob. All of our other sets have either a steam-release valve knob or a thermostat control knob. As we stated, the first waterless cookware sets made were made with plain knobs, and many of those sets, as well as the knobs are still around today. With this set, even the knobs last a lifetime.

The instructions for cooking with a plain-knob set are very simple and very similar to the other sets. The instructions change only slightly when you reach the stage where you see or hear the steam being released from the steam valve, at that point, with this Maxam plain-knob set, you would see and hear the lid bouncing a little, and steam would be escaping from around the lid. This is your cue to turn the heat temperature down and began timing the cooking process.
During the cooking process, to know if you are using the correct temperature and that the food inside the utensil is cooking correctly, the lid of the pot should spin freely during cooking. If the lid feels 'locked' onto the pot, then the temperature is too low. If the lid is 'bouncing' and steam is escaping from around the lid, then your temperature is too high.
This set has the same high standard of perfection as the Maxam KT17 set, and the history behind the KT17 set also applies to this KT172 Maxam set.

This set is suitable for ceramic, electric, and gas stoves.
NOTE: The Handles are tested up to 350 degrees and can be used on a gas stove, but they should not be used with extremely high temperatures when using an open flame. An open flame on a gas stove 'can' reach up to 608°F.

The set includes a recipe book with instructions. Lifetime Warranty.
