(NOTE: If you don't find your product's company below, click on the Feedback Advice tab for more information.)
Waterless cooking is a healthy method to prepare your food, but it requires special cookware that can often be expensive. Since many people have been using their waterless cookware for 40 years and more, the cost becomes reasonable when spread out over the years of use. The major problem people have is that the plastic handles need replacement after all those years.
If you want to purchase cookware online or find out where to buy waterless cookware, you can use the following list. This is for information purposes only, and I cannot vouch for the quality of the products or services they offer.
This lesson with provide that information. Health Disclaimer
Getting replacement handles
Many people who purchased waterless cookware from salesmen years ago now need replacement handles or other parts. A large number of the companies selling cookware 20 years ago have either gone out of business or have been bought up by larger cookware firms such as Regal Ware Inc. or The West Bend Co.
Be realistic in trying to get support for a product that old.
What to do
If you need to replace your handles:
- Look at the list of cookware companies below and try to find your brand and who owns it.
- Contact them about replacement parts.
- If you have no success or get no cooperation, your best bet then is to check your local cookware store or repair shop to see if they have handles that will match. You may have better luck locally.
