Waterless Cooking: a sustainable alternative

A recent article in the New York Times outlined one author's experiment with cooking using less water. His reasoning is that if everyone in the country cooked using a little less water than we are used to, we could save big on energy costs. Our oil consumption as a nation would be reduced by hundreds of thousands of barrels per year. Of course this immediately sparked my interest, because Justsmartliving is built in part on the premise that waterless cooking can help preserve the nutritional value of our foods.
So I was intrigued by the idea that pasta, a food we normally wouldn't think of trying to prepare without any water, could be prepared using only a fraction of what is considered adequate by most italian chefs. His tests proved that it could be done, without reducing the quality of the food.
Justsmartliving makes cookware that is designed specifically for the purpose of cooking waterlessly. Foods like vegetables and meat, that contain natural moisture, can be prepared without adding any water at all. But, as this article makes clear, it is also ideal for preparing other foods using only a fraction of the usual amount of water.
Waterless cooking has revealed itself as a method that benefits not only the body and health of the individual, but also the common good. In an age of drought and energy shortage, environmentally conscious people are turning to waterless cooking as a way of contributing to the conservation effort that is badly needed today.
