Trainer Notes

Introduction

The key to achieving unlimited success with Rena Ware is to share the products, share the Opportunity,and teach others to do the same. This Cookware Product Training Seminar will focus on sharing theproducts.

This seminar will provide your consultants with the knowledge to fully understand the features of ourexclusive Nutri Cooking System and how together with “water-less” cooking it can benefit theircustomers.

Armed with a full understanding of these wonderful products they will be able to present the products in acompelling way that will help increase not only their sales success, but their ability to share their productpassion with others in their recruiting efforts.

Before beginning the Seminar

Before beginning the seminar, you may want to read the Use & Care section of the Rena Ware Use &Care/ Cookbook (RW361), watch the Healthy Cooking video and review the Product Brochure (RW760).

This seminar will focus on cookware – additional training will be needed for the other products.

Please note that this seminar is slightly different from the Rena Ware University seminars. Since thesubject matter requests so many diagrams and reference material, Participants will receive a ReferenceGuide instead of Participant’s Guide. Therefore, there are no fill-in-the blanks exercises and the Trainer’sGuide will not include italicized text to indicate what is in the Reference Guide.

The only icon you will see in the Training Guide is one that indicates when to review the recommendedpage from the Reference guide.

I. CHARACTERISTICS & BENEFITS

What makes Rena Ware so unique?

Allow the class to respond. They could say things like the warranty, construction or other feature, andthen you could say: yes those things are very important and make Rena Ware a unique company.

Quality

Everything starts with quality.. For nearly 70 years, the Rena Ware name has stood for top quality products.Cookware sets sold in the 1950’s and 1960’s are still being used and enjoyed today. Rena Ware hasthousands of satisfied customers around the world who love their Rena Ware products.

What makes Rena Ware such an enduring brand?

Part of it is a commitment to quality. Rena Ware cookware undergoes a rigorous Testing and Inspectionprocess that ensures that each piece meets the exact specifications set by Rena Ware’s productdevelopment team.

Rena Ware defines the minutest detail of the shape, trim, base, set down, thickness, and mirror finish ofeach piece, as well as the shape of the lip, thickness, and roundness of each cover. This ensures aprecision fit with the base utensil for a perfect water seal.

Rena Ware also specifies the type and quality grade of the stainless steel and phenolic trim used in itscookware. With such precise specifications, Rena Ware can control the manufacturing process to ensurea top quality product every time.

Because of this, Rena Ware is able to select manufacturers from anywhere in world who can both meetthe high standards and provide an excellent price. This is what allows Rena Ware to offer the highestquality product at the lowest possible price for our customers.

Our prices are often much lower than our direct sales competitors, even though our quality is generallyhigher. Our Consultants and customers can have confidence that any Rena Ware product that is boughtor sold will be both beautiful and durable.

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Inspections

Our products undergo an exhaustive quality inspection during the production run to verify that all standardsare met for each batch.

In addition, before products are shipped, third-party professional inspectors go to key factories andperform a multi-point inspection on random samples to ensure that each production run meets the RenaWare standards.

Once the shipment is received at each Rena Ware warehouse around the world, Rena Ware inspectorsconduct a third inspection where random pieces are pulled from each shipment and subjected to a finalquality checklist.

The Nutri Cookware – Construction

Only the best materials

Rena Ware manufactures its utensils with the most durable, high quality stainless steel and combines itwith other highly heat conductive metals to create the best combination for healthy “water-less” cooking

Stainless Steel

Let’s start with stainless steel.

Rena Ware is known for its stainless steel products. Stainless steel is a very high quality and durablemetal that is easy to care for and looks good for a lifetime. Because of its highly durable properties RenaWare is able to offer a lifetime warranty on its cookware products.

High quality stainless steel does not react with food, and has a smooth and easy to clean surface. It wasnamed “stainless” steel because it is less likely to stain, another word for rusting. If not properly cared for,stainless steel can rust, pit, or otherwise show effects of prolonged exposure to food or water.

Technically, the term 18/8 stainless steel means the stainless steel alloy contains 18% chromium and 8%nickel. The chromium provides rust and corrosion resistance and durability. Nickel provides additionalrust resistance, hardness, and high polishing characteristics.

Most of the stainless Rena Ware uses is 18/8. The 8% nickel, however, neutralizes the magnetic propertiesof the iron in the steel alloy. So to make the stainless steel magnetic for use on induction cookers we use18/0 with no nickel, for the exterior ply.

RW240 USA 9 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Hygienic and heat conducting properties

Why is the construction of Rena Ware utensils so important? It is because of the hygienic and heatconducting properties. To make an ideal utensil, you need to have both high heat conductivity and adurable, hygienic surface material.

Stainless steel (both 18/8 and 18/0) is non-porous and very hygienic. It is often used in hospitals andrestaurants for its cleanliness and resistance to bacteria growth and used in food storage tanks due itscorrosion resistance and anti-bacterial properties, but it is a poor heat conductor.

Aluminum is one of the best heat conductors, but it is not very hygienic.

So with Rena Ware’s multi-ply cookware you have the perfect marriage of two metals: aluminum for avery efficient heat conductive core with a hygienic, easy to clean stainless steel outer cooking surface.

The aluminum layers (or layer) are enclosed between two stainless steel layers, so no aluminum touchesthe food.

Let’s review Reference Guide page 4.

Nutri-Plex™

Now, what is “Nutri-Plex” ?

Allow class to respond.

Nutri-Plex™ is Rena Ware’s exclusive trade-marked name for any combination of multiple layers, or“ply”s of metal, including solid single-ply stainless steel with a multi-ply Nutri-Plex diffusion bottom. Themost important Nutri-Plex construction is 7-ply and 5-ply aluminum core, which is the construction of ourChef I and Chef II sets.

Show a sample of each product if you have one.

7-ply Aluminum Core consists of:

5) Layer of 18/8 stainless steel

1) Inner layer of 18/8 stainless steel

2) Layer of nearly pure aluminum

3) Layer of aluminum alloy with added minerals for strength

4) Layer of nearly pure aluminum

6) Layer of magnetic stainless steel

7) Outer layer of 18/8 stainless steel

RW240 USA 10 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Nutri-Plex is also used to describe all of the following:

This construction is used for large utensils and skillets. It is also the construction of the 6 Litre Roaster.

There is another construction that was phased out years ago that you should be aware of because youwill encounter previous customers that have it. It is 3-ply Carbon Core which consists of:

You can find the specific construction for each piece of Rena Ware cookware in your Product Fact Sheet(RW 932) which is part of the Starter Kit. The sheet is updated and reissued as products are introducedor changed.

The Product Fact sheet is for your reference and indicates the construction, capacity and country oforigin of each Rena Ware product. If you are asked a question about any of these points, you can look itup in your Product Fact Sheet.

Solid Stainless Steel with a Nutri-Plex diffusion bottom which consists of:

1) Inner layer of 18/8 stainless steel

2) Middle layer of carbon steel core, which is magnetic

3) Outer layer of 18/8 stainless steel

5-ply Aluminum Core consists of:

1) Inner layer of 18/8 stainless steel

2) Layer of nearly pure aluminum

3) Layer of aluminum alloy with added minerals for strength

4) Layer of nearly pure aluminum

5) Outer layer of 18/0 magnetic stainless steel

Single-ply, or solid, stainless steel side walls.

Thick, magnetic Nutri-Plex (multi-ply) diffusion bottom.

The diffusion bottom contains layers of aluminum and 18/0 stainless steel.

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

All Rena Ware products are manufactured to the highest quality control standards and Rena Ware’sstrict international specifications in selected factories around the world.

No matter where a piece of cookware is manufactured, it will have the same specifications and will beinterchangeable with the same Rena Ware cookware piece manufactured elsewhere. And will carry outworld famous guarantee.

So what are the benefits of Nuti-Plex construction?

Ask the class to respond.

Because of the unique Rena Ware design, heat is distributed evenly and moisture is retained within theutensil. This allows for “water-less” cooking, which we will talk about more later in the seminar.

Optional: Demonstrate this special heat conduction by pouring hot water in a utensil and pass it tothe participants to feel the heat go up the sides – only demonstrate with multi-ply utensils.

The special construction and design are what allow for the unique cook, serve, store and bake benefits.With multi-ply construction, you can not only cook in Rena Ware, but you can also serve in the sameutensil and the food will stay warm during the meal.

The hygienic properties of the stainless steel also allow you to store leftovers in the utensil and keep inthe refrigerator until you are ready to reheat them in the same utensil. You do have to be careful withcertain highly acidic foods, such as tomato sauce, lemon juice, salt and strong bleaches which shouldnot be stored for long periods of time.

Plus you can use Rena Ware in an oven so you can bake in it or make casseroles. The handles andknobs are made of a special phenolic material that can withstand heat up to 200°C or 400°F.

Now you should better understand the cook, serve, store and bake feature which is part of our cookwaresales story.

Induction compatibility

Rena Ware cookware is compatible with gas, electric, vitrio-ceramic and halogen cooktops.Plus, all of our new Rena Ware cookware is compatible with induction cook tops due to a magneticstainless steel outer layer.

One of the differentiating features of Rena Ware that sets us apart from the competition is that you canoffer a Rena Ware induction cooker along with a Rena Ware cookware set.

RW240 USA 12 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Therefore, you can sell the cooking surface as well as the cookware, and give your customers all theadvantages of the cool, fast and efficient induction cooker to provide even more value.

Rena Ware uses graphic symbols on its cartons to signify with which types of cooktops the cookware iscompatible.

You should be aware that some previous versions of Rena Ware 5-ply, or Ultra Ply were not inductioncompatible so you may encounter customers with non-induction compatible Rena Ware.

Other non-Rena Ware cookware constructions that are not induction compatible include copper, aluminum,anodized aluminum, glass and non-magnetic stainless steel.

If applicable, the Rena Ware magnet (or any magnet) can be used to show a customer that Rena Wareutensils are magnetic. It makes a nice demonstration. You can also use it to test if your customer’scurrent cookware is magnetic. Rena Ware magnets also make good gifts for customers to keep on theirrefrigerator where they will always see the Rena Ware name.

Exercise: Place the magnet to the bottom of any Rena Ware utensil, it will stick immediately. Now tryto place it on non-magnetic utensil and the magnet will fall off.

Comparative materialsRena Ware has advantages over many other types of cookware construction and can easily be sold onits own merits. While you can compare Rena Ware to other types of construction, you should never raisehealth claims about other cookware materials.

Do not make health claims or use unapproved negative propaganda against aluminum or Teflon® (or anyother type of cookware. Exaggeration of claims or using negative propaganda against other cookwareis not necessary and making untrue statements against other cookware is unlawful.

Also, do not make any specific and direct health claims with respect to Rena Ware cookware. RenaWare advocates a healthy diet and promotes the benefits of the “water-less” cooking method which usesless fats and oils and preserves more of the vitamin and mineral content of foods. However, RenaWare does not cure or treat cancer, diabetes or any other disease, and you must not make anysuch claims.

has been generally discredited in the scientific community and it is the strict policy of the Companythat no reference to non-stick and any disease be made in connection with the sale of RenaWare.

Aluminum

• Aluminum utensils are hard to clean and may pit. They can also blacken food. Aluminum is a softmaterial and the interior can wear over time. Important Legal Note: Do not link the use ofaluminum cookware to Alzheimer’s disease. The notion that there is a connection betweenaluminum and Alzheimer’s has been generally discredited in the scientific community and it is thestrict policy of the Company that no reference to aluminum and any disease be made in connectionwith the sale of Rena Ware.

• Hard anodized aluminum is durable and a good heat conductor, but is easily discolored and canbe hard to clean. Usually it cannot be washed in a dishwasher.

• Aluminum, aluminum nonstick or anodized aluminum will not work on induction.

Cast Iron & Enamel

• Cast iron utensils are heavy and distribute heat evenly. But it can be hard to control the temperature,especially to lower the heat since they retain heat so well. They are also hard to clean, can rustand can retain food particles.

• Enamel on steel has poor heat dispersion and can chip.

• Enamel coated steel or cast iron utensils can stain and chip and become unsightly over time.They can burn food easily.

• Cast iron and enamel coated steel and cast iron are induction compatible.

Copper

• Copper utensils are excellent heat conductors, but require a lot of maintenance and are veryexpensive. They need polishing and occasional relining of the interior.

Glass

• Glass is a poor heat conductor, can burn food and it breaks easily.

• Glass and copper utensils are not induction compatible.

Single-ply Stainless Steel

• Single-ply stainless steel is easy to clean but has slow and uneven heating.

Cookware setsTurn to page 7 in your Reference Guide.

Rena Ware’s Nutri Cookware sets are the building blocks of our sales, and our presentation story isbuilt around them. The term “Nutri “ refers to our entire line of quality stainless steel cookware. It istherefore very important to understand each set. The sets and their contents are shown in first few pagesof the Product Brochure (RW760).

RW240 USA 14 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

• Our signature set is the 17 pc. Gourmet Set. It includes the Chef I Set plus the Chef II Set plus the6 Litre Roaster and the 6L Grater/Steamer Tray.

• Chef I Set = 2 Litre w/cover, 4 Litre w/cover, Inset Pan and Large Frypan w/cover.

• Chef II Set = 1.5 Litre w/cover, 3 Litre w/cover, 3L Grater/Steamer Tray and the 5 Litre w/cover

• Mini Chef Set = Little Jewel (1L) w/cover, Milk Warmer (1.5L) w/ 2 covers, and the Renita (1.2L)w/cover

You should note that the 6 Litre Roaster in the Gourmet Set is single-ply with a Nutri-Plex multi-ply diffusionbottom and the Inset Pan is single-ply.

Tip: If you have all the sets, put the sets (in their boxes) on a table in front of everybody. Ask aparticipant to help you unpack the boxes and identify which utensil they are getting out of the box.Place all utensils on a large table to use later, try to keep each set separate from the others.

Fully Integrated System

Rena Ware is more than just sets of Cookware – it is a complete system – the world’s only fully integratedsystem - where all the utensils work together. With cookware pieces ranging from 1 Litre to 27 Litresthere is a Rena Ware cookware piece for practically every need – and they all work together to provideincredible versatility.

On Reference Guide, pages 8-9 you can see how many additional pieces work with each utensil.

What does fully integrated mean?It means every piece works with other pieces, providing the following customer benefits:

• Store each cover with its utensil – save time hunting for covers; always have the correct cover athand.

• Compact storage, store many utensils neatly in a small space – reduce cabinet clutter.

• Can build a Rena Ware collection for a lifetime – pieces purchased in the future will fit theirexisting pieces.

• Always have beautiful matching cookware you can be proud to show off

• Mix and match cookware pieces in almost any combination for almost any cooking application.

• No need to purchase other cookware; Rena Ware has it all – for a lifetime.

This unique interchangeable and compatible cookware system is what makes Rena Ware truly uniqueand far superior to most cookware available. It is what differentiates us in the market and adds to ourperceived value. Share this concept with your prospects so they will understand the full value of thecookware. The full range is shown in the first few pages of the Product Brochure (RW760).

RW240 USA 15 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Utility of Many Separate UtensilsWhat gives the sets their incredible value is their versatility. Because of the unique design of each pieceand the way they all work together, each set has the utility of many separate utensils.

What do we mean by the utility of virtually 66 utensils?

Since you can cook, store, serve, and bake with Rena Ware’s special construction, you get the benefit ofusing each piece for several applications.

Let’s review the applications for 1.5 Litre.

Tip: Show the 1.5 L utensil as you discuss each application

For example, the 1.5 Litre can be used as:

- A small saucepan ( to cook soup or a sauce)

- A small fry pan ( to cook a fried egg)

- A small baking casserole (to cook a small casserole dish or flan dessert)

- A refrigerator storage unit (to store leftovers)

- A table top serving dish (place it on its upside down cover)

- A small Dutch oven when topped with the Renita (to cook whole apple or pears)

- A larger Dutch oven when it tops a 3 Litre, 4 Litre, or Small Classic Skillet (to cook a small chickenor roast)

- A double boiler when used with the Inset Pan resting inside of it (to melt custards or melt chocolate)

- A double boiler when it rests inside a Renita (same)

- As part of a steamer when used as a cover over the 3L Grater/Steamer Tray in the 3 Litre, 4 Litreor Small Classic skillet (to steam broccoli or other vegetables, or steam fish)

The 1.5 Litre is therefore like having 14 separate utensils, can you do this with any other cookware?

Let’s review the utility of our sets on page 10 in the Reference Guide:

• Gourmet set = the utility of 66 separate utensils

• Chef I Set = the utility of 20 separate utensils

• Chef II Set = the utility of 19 separate utensils

• Mini Chef Set = the utility of 15 separate utensils

• The full range of 1-27 Litres is like having over 120 separate utensils.

RW240 USA 16 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Combinations

Another part of the Rena Ware “wow” factor is the amazing number of combinations that can be createdwith the pieces in the cookware system. Using the full range of cookware pieces from 1 Litre to 27Litres, you can create more than 140 combinations.

How does it work?

Rena Ware’s unique construction provides for integration with other Rena Ware pieces.

Same diameter clusters, for example, 1.5 Litre, 2 Litre, and Inset Pan, all have the same diameter anduse the same cover. They all fit on the next diameter cluster, 3 Litre, 4 Litre, and Small Classic Skillet, asdome cover.Review pages 8-9 in the Reference Guide.

Demonstrate by putting the 22 cm cover on the 1.5 LItre, the 2Litre and the inset pan. Do the samewith the other diameter covers.

• There are 4 diameters for the 12 utensils in the 17pc Gourmet Set and Small Classic Skillet

- 22 cm diameter - 1.5 Litre, 2 Litre, Inset Pan

- 24 cm – 3 Litre, 4 Litre, Small Classic Skillet

- 26 cm – 5 Litre

- 28 cm – 6 Litre, Large Frypan

• There are 3 diameters for the large pieces, 8 Litre and larger, including the Large Classic Skillet

- 30 cm diameter – Queen Cooker, Large Classic Skillet

- 36 cm – King Cooker, Super Deluxe Cooker

- 38 cm – Gran Cacerola, Max Cooker

By mixing and matching you can make many handy combinations for more convenient cooking options.

Demonstrate with samples if you have them.

Cover a 6 Litre base utensil with an inverted 5 Litre utensil and you have a large Dutch Oven for stove-toproasting. Or use the 3L Grater Steamer Tray in the 4 Litre and cover with an inverted 2 Litre – you cancook chicken in the base utensil and steam broccoli on the Steam Tray at the same time. And you canplace your plates on top of the 2 Litre to warm.

Turn to Reference Guide page 11 for an illustration of the basic combinations of the sets.

RW240 USA 17 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

• 7 pc. Chef I Set = 5 total combinations

• 7 pc. Chef II Set = 4 total combinations

• 17pc. Gourmet Set = 20 Basic combinations (Note: You can make up to 97 total combinationsusing all the stacking options)

• 7 pc. Mini Chef Set = 5 total combinations

Turn to Reference Guide, page 12.

With the full 1- 27 Litre total system you have 147 total combinations.

Stack Cooking

Because of the way the cookware pieces fit together you can stack the utensils one on top of another tocook on one burner. This efficient way of cooking saves both space and energy. This is possible becauseof Rena Ware’s exceptional heat conductivity, which transfers heat from the burner all the way up to thetop utensil.

Refer to the Reference Guide, page 13.

The Rena Ware Tower shows how all pieces work together. Obviously the tower is not a practical stack– but it is useful to illustrate how all the pieces are specially designed to work together.

Since stack cooking is a unique Rena Ware feature, most people are not familiar with it. So let’s reviewthe basics.

Ask a volunteer to work with you on the stacking cooking demo. Follow the recipe for “water-less”Pasta Primavera with Vegetables found in the “Cooking Demonstration Recipes” at the end of theTrainer’s Guide.

There are two key things to remember.

• One, you need to bring each utensil to a water seal on a regular burner or induction cooker beforestacking it on top of another utensil.

• Two, you should cover it with an inverted utensil instead of the regular cover. This provides a flatsurface on which to place the next utensil. Think of it as a creating an extra burner surface. Onlythe top utensil should be covered with a regular Nutri Sensor cover.

RW240 USA 18 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

A water seal is reached when little bubbles form around the rim and the inverted utensil glides gentlywhen spun.You can stack and cook up to 3 utensils high. Only the bottom two utensils will continue to cook oncestacked, the top one will finish cooking or keep warm only.

Some of the benefits of stack cooking are:

• You can prepare an entire meal finishing on one burner saving energy, and space.

• You can keep food warm for long time. For example, you can prepare everything then let it staywarm until you are ready to eat, allowing the cook to relax for awhile before serving dinner in thesame utensils, making mealtimes and entertaining less stressful.

Here are more suggestions for stack cooked meals:

• Rice is ideally suited to stack cooking – it cooks fluffy and moist if brought to a boil over mediumheat and then stacked to finish cooking. Allow at least 30 minutes, and cooking longer will notspoil it. (see Cooking Demonstration Recipes).

• A complete chicken dinner is easily cooked by putting chicken pieces with cut up potatoes, peppers,onions in the 6 Litre base utensil, rice in the Inset pan covered with the 5 Litre, and additionalvegetables in the 3 Litre covered with the 2 Litre and an extra dish like cooked apples in the 1.5Litre on top. (see Cooking Demonstration Recipes).

Some foods are not suitable for stack cooking such as whole potatoes, because they need too muchtime and heat to cook properly. Also, foods that take less than 10 minutes, such as spinach and Chinesepea pods are not suitable, because they do not improve with longer cooking.

• Root vegetables like carrots, beets, turnips, potatoes should be diced to shorten their cookingtime when stacked.

Use of Special Pieces

If you have the Inset Pan, Grater/Steamer trays and a Milk Warmer, show them or ask for volunteer todemonstrate its use.

Please refer to the Reference Guide, page 14.

Inset PanThe Inset Pan is a versatile piece that can be used in several ways in many utensils. For example, it canbe used as double boiler by placing it in the 1.5 Litre, 2 Litre, 3 Litre, or 4 Litre.

RW240 USA 19 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

It can be used in the oven as a casserole dish, or as a cover on the 3 Litre, 4 Litre or Small Classic Skillet.You can also use it to steam cook by placing it on the 6L Grater/Steamer Tray in the 6 Litre Roaster (whileyou cook a different dish in the 6 Litre) and covering it with the 5 Litre.

• This is an excellent way to cook flan – be sure to cover with wax paper/foil to protect it from theflavor of the main dish. (see demonstration and recipes)

• Rice is also good when cooked this way – cook uncovered so the flavor of the main dish enhancesthe flavor of the rice.

Grater/Steamer Trays

The Grater/Steamer Trays are also very useful and versatile.

• As a grater and/or shredder: use by itself or place on a bowl for grating/ shredding into salads,etc., or use with a Rena Ware utensil for grating/ shredding directing onto food to be cooked

- Use for cheese, carrots, chocolate, parmesan, etc.

• As slicer – use by itself or place on a bowl for slicing into salads, etc., or use with a Rena Wareutensil for slicing directing onto food to be cooked

- Use for carrots, potatoes, cheese, etc.

• As a steamer - place on the 3 Litre, 4 Litre, Small Classic Skillet, 6 Litre or Large Frypan andplace food on top of tray, cover with other inverted utensil

- Use for fish, asparagus, etc.

• As trivet for steaming – place upside down in the bottom of a utensil and fill the utensil with food- Use for corn on cob, broccoli, tamales, whole seafood, etc.

• Remove using the finger hole or the fork slot to lift without touching

Milk Warmer

The Milk Warmer comes with 2 covers and has two uses – it can be used as regular “water-less” utensilusing the Nutri Sensor cover, or it can be used as milk warmer using the special slotted cover designwhich prevents milk from boiling over and making a mess of your stovetop.

The cover works like this:

- When milk starts to boil and foam up, the foam bubbles up out of the holes and drips back downinto the utensil instead of spilling up and over the sides of the utensil.

- This makes it perfect for heating milk, hot chocolate, or for custards.

Unique Rena Ware Features and BenefitsPlease refer to the Reference Guide, pages 15-16.

Rena Ware has many unique features you will want to understand and share with your customers. Let’sreview some of the key features and benefits:

Nutri Sensor valve

The Nutri Sensor valve lets you know when the water has reached boiling temperature and a water sealis formed. You don’t need to constantly watch the utensil, so you can turn your attention to other things inthe kitchen.

- The whistle alerts you to immediately lower the heat, preventing the food from burning accidentally.

In Rena Ware we say “Medium to low is all you need to know.” That means you start on medium heat withthe vent open. When the whistle sounds, close the valve, spin the cover, and turn the heat to low. Thewhistle will be a gentle whistle.

Demonstrate by blowing into the whistle cup on a Nutri Sensor cover.

You can also remove the whistle cup to use the Nutri Sensor in the open position as a steam vent forcovered frying to keep the heat in and reduce spattering.

Heat resistant phenolic handles and knobs

Rena Ware’s black handles and knobs are made of a special heat resistant material called phenolic.They can be used in the oven up to 200°C / 400°F so you can bake in Rena Ware as well as cook on astove top.

While they are heat resistant, they are not flame resistant. Care should be taken not to allow flames totouch the handles because they will blister.

No-drip lip

Rena Ware’s unique rim design prevents food from spilling down the sides of the utensil and making ahard-to-clean mess. This is a great feature because it is such a common problem with many othercookware brands where food spills down and bakes onto the sides.

The no-drip lip makes it easier to pour out of Rena Ware, for example, soups can be poured directly intobowls with no mess. It also makes Rena Ware utensils easier to clean because there is less baked-onmess.

RW240 USA 21 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

• Demo tip: To easily demonstrate the no-drip lip, ask the participant to pour out water from autensil to see how it doesn’t drip down the side.

Flame-guards

Flame-guards are handle protectors. And since they help keep handles away from heat coming up thesides of the pan, they keep handles cooler to the touch, making it easier to lift or carry the utensil withoutan oven mitt. Of course, if you cook on a higher heat for a long period of time, the handles will becomehot and require a mitt.

Warp resistant bottom

The Rena Ware utensils in our basic sets have a slight indentation in the bottom which is called concavity.Since heat causes expansion, the concavity allows the bottom of the pan to flatten out when heated toprovide a flat bottom surface. On some non-Rena Ware utensils without concavity, the bottom will expandwhen heated, creating a bulge that causes the pan to rock back and forth on the cooking surface.

With built-in concavity the utensil is always properly seated on the burner for exceptional even heating.

Covers can be used as trivets

Rena Ware covers can act as trivets for serving at the table. Each utensil fits in its own upturned cover.This allows you to put a hot utensil on the table and creates a nice presentation.

Demonstrate this.

Serving in the utensils also keeps food warm longer for serving throughout a meal.

Another benefit is that it eliminates the need for separate serving dishes; therefore, there are fewerdishes to clean up.

Storage OptionsPlease refer to the Reference Guide, page 17 that shows stacking diagrams.

Ask if somebody in the class could store a complete Gourmet set in two stacks in a space only29 cm (11.5") high - make into a game

Today lack of storage space in our homes is becoming more and more of an issue. In the past, we oftenhad more space for storage, but now storage space is limited. Rena Ware’s Gourmet Set is designedto fit in a space only 29 cm (11.5") high and the Chef set can be stored in a space only 24 cm (9.5") high.

RW240 USA 22 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

All of the covers fit upside down in their own utensil for storage– so the proper cover is always at hand.Plus because of their “casserole” design the base utensils stack neatly in the upside-down covers sothey can be stored on top of each other. Therefore, you can store several utensils in a compact space orcupboard.

In your Reference Guide you can see how to compactly store the following sets:

If you have Chef I and Chef II sets available, ask one or two attendees to practice storing the utensilsin the listed space.

• Complete 17pc Gourmet Set in a space only 29 cm (11.5") high

• Chef I Set in a space only 23 cm (9") high

• Chef II Set in a space only 24 cm (9.5") high

• Mini Chef set in space only 21 cm (8.5") high

• Jumbo Pieces in a space only 43 cm (17") high

• All Super Jumbo pieces in a space only 37 cm (14.5") high

You can store the entire range of cookware all 1-27 Litres, including the Classic Skillets and JumboPieces in a space only 41 cm (16") high.

II.COOKING OPTIONS

Nutri “Water-Less” Cooking

So, how does our Nutri “water-less” cookware work? It all starts with the design and the precision fitbetween the cover and the utensil base. The covers are designed to allow a water seal to be formed,locking in the foods natural goodness and allowing it to cook in its own vapors rather than in water.

• To easily demonstrate a water seal, you can place a few droplets of water in the rim and spin thecover to show how it glides on water.

Ask some participants to help you with a “water-less” demo. It will be best if you prepare twodifferent types of food in the same utensil. You can cook two different types of vegetables side byside - see Examples of Cooking Demonstrations pages at the end of the Trainer’s Guide. Once theparticipant has prepared everything, explain how “water-less” cooking works.

RW240 USA 23 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Here is how the water seal works.

• The unique rounded cover with its outer skirt is designed to ride on the inner rim of the utensil tocreate a shelf.

• Only a few tablespoons of water are added to the food. When the utensil is heated, steam risesup, hitting the inside of our “self-basting”, cover then condenses and drips back into the utensilonly to turn into steam and rise again - when moisture collects on the rim it allows a water seal toform.

• The water seal creates a semi-vacuum which keeps air out and allows food to cook in its ownnatural vapors.

• The multi-ply construction distributes heat evenly across the bottom and up the sides allowing theuse of lower heat settings to finish cooking the food.

You can also cook two different foods in the same utensil without mingling the flavors. As an extremeexample, you can cook apples and cabbage in the same utensil, apples in one half and cabbage in theother half and each will retain their own unique flavor.

Cooking “water-less” has several advantages over other cooking methods.

• Boiling can dissolve water-soluble minerals and destroy flavor and color. “Water-less” cooking innatural vapors helps keep vitamins and nutrients in the food so you can get the benefits of thenutrients.

Demo tip: Carrot test- Grate a few tablespoons off of a carrot into a clear glass of water to show how

the orange beta carotene leaches from the carrot into the water. You can havesomeone taste the water to demonstrate that it tastes like a carrot. This showsthat valuable nutrients can be lost by boiling.

- You can also show the Healthy Cooking video which features a carrot test.

• Cooking on Medium to low heat also helps retain the natural juices which tenderize and flavor themeat.

• Rena Ware water-seal keeps air out and keeps the aroma and natural flavor in. Food tastesbetter.

• Fats and oils can make food harder to digest, as well as add excess calories. Excessive saturatedfats may contribute to obesity which can in turn contribute to certain diseases.

- Better taste from “water-less” cooking means less need for additional butter and oils.

RW240 USA 24 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

“Water-less” cooking with Rena Ware requires only a few simple steps.

Exercise:1. Rinse pre-washed vegetable in the utensil by leaving in a few tablespoons of water

2. Start on medium heat with the valve open

3. Create a water seal – when the whistle sounds a water seal has been reached

4. Close valve, spin and turn heat to low

And don’t peek. When the cover is removed during the cooking period, heat and moisture are allowed toescape and the water seal is broken.

Medium to low is all you need to know!

In your Reference Guide, pages 18-19 you will find a description of “water-less” cooking.

Fat-Free Frying

With Rena Ware’s special Nutri-Plex construction you can fry without added fats or oils.

- The secret is to pre-heat on medium before adding meat to brown.

- Cover with the valve open, when the whistle sounds remove the cover and turn the meat over, itshould release easily. If it sticks, wait a few more minutes until it releases naturally.

- You will need to add some butter, oil or cooking spray for foods with little natural fat, such as eggs,most fish, pancakes, potatoes, etc.

“Water-less”/Fat-free Cooking Benefits

• Since there is only enough water to create steam, the food retains more of its vitamins and nutrients– they don’t get dissolved away with the boiling water -you get the benefit of more vitamins andnutrients in your cooked food.

• Food also retains its natural texture and color, making it very flavorful– because the delicious,natural flavor is retained there is less need for salt to enhance the taste.

• Fat free cooking saves on calories and saturated fat intake for a healthier diet, as well on the costof the added fats.

• Help combat obesity by cooking delicious healthy alternatives to high fat, high sodium, high caloriefoods.

• Cooking the “water-less” way allows you to cook more than one vegetable or fruit in one utensil -their flavors don’t mingle.

RW240 USA 25 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Other Unique “Water- less” Cooking Methods

In addition to “water-less” cooking for vegetables and fat free frying, there are other “water-less” cookingmethods that are even more amazing and can help to convey the truly unique benefits of Rena Ware.

Combos/stacks/ “water-less” steaming - Cook “water-less” in the bottom utensil and steam additionalfood on the steamer tray, cover with an inverted Rena Ware utensil, and cook another “water-less”vegetable on top. Cook a full meal in one stack.

Please refer to your Reference Guide, page 18 for more details.

• Stove-top Baking – you can bake a simple cake right in the 1.5 Litre or Large Frypan on thestovetop in less time than it takes in an oven (you can find a recipe for this in the Rena Ware Use& Care/ Cookbook).

Demo tip: Stove-top cake- You can cook a quick cake in the 1.5 Litre using a cake mix, frost by melting a

chocolate bar on top.

• Eggs – you can make soft or hard boiled eggs in a just few tablespoons of water – they come outtender, never rubbery like they can when you boil them.

• Pasta/grains – cook with just enough water so there is none left after cooking, it is incredible howyou can actually taste the flavor of the pasta, unlike the flavorless pasta you can get by boiling,plus you save time not having to wait for a large amount of water to come to a boil.

It is a good idea to try some of these methods at home if you have Rena Ware cookware. It will makeyour story more compelling when you tell customers about the better ways they can cook with RenaWare.

Conventional UsesThere are also many conventional ways to cook using Rena Ware. You can use Rena Ware for almostany type of cooking – steaming, sautéing, stove-top roasting, frying, poaching, braising, simmering,slow cooking, stir-frying, double boiling, even boiling.

• Double boiler/Bain Marie

- There are 6 possible double boilers with the full Nutri system.

- Double boilers are perfect for sauces, melting chocolate, frostings, custards.• Dutch oven

- There are 28 possible Dutch Ovens with the full Nutri system.

- They can be used for roasts, slow cooking and other dishes that call for a Dutch Oven.

RW240 USA 26 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

• Steaming

- There are 18 possible steamers with the full Nutri system.

- Some of the uses include steaming fish, shellfish, vegetables, tamales, corn on the cob.

The number of Steamers, Dutch Ovens, etc. can be found on page 10 of your Reference Guide.

III. DEMONSTRATION TIPS

Now that you know some of the amazing things Rena Ware can do, how do you show your customers?There are several ways to demonstrate the various properties of Rena Ware cookware. Let’s go over afew of the ones we discussed and then see if you have any others to share.

Please refer to Reference Guide page 21.

• Heat conduction

- Pour hot water in a utensil and pass around to feel the heat go up the sides.

• Stack Cooking

- To show how heat rises up the sidewalls, fully preheat a utensil (up to 5 Litre). Placepre-washed and dried chicken thighs on the inside sidewalls. The chicken will stick tothe sides demonstrating how the sides have been turned into a cooking surface due tothe multi-ply construction. The chicken will release easily when browned. The sidewallswill heat up as heat is conducted to the upper utensil.

• Water seal

- Place a few droplets of water in the rim and spin the cover to show how it glides onwater.

• No-drip lip

- Ask the customer to pour out water from a utensil to see how it doesn’t drip down theside.

• Carrot test

- Grate a few tablespoons off of a carrot into a clear glass of water to show how theorange beta carotene leaches from the carrot into the water. You can have someonetaste the water to demonstrate that it tastes like a carrot. This shows that valuablenutrients can be lost by boiling.

- You can also show the Healthy Cooking video which features a carrot test.

RW240 USA 27 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

• Flour test

- Show the Healthy cooking video to illustrate how other cookware can have hot spotsand Rena Ware heats evenly.

• Stove-top cake

- Cook a quick cake in the 1.5 Litre, frost by melting a chocolate bar on top.

IV. OTHER PRODUCTS

Jumbo Pieces/Gran Cacerola

Show the Jumbo Pieces Broadside (RW 64) and show the pieces if you have those.

Rena Ware offers several complementary pieces of cookware in addition to the pieces in our main sets.Best known are the Jumbo pieces and the Gran Cacerola. The Jumbo pieces are very large stockpotsthat can be used to cook large quantities of food.

Construction

The best construction for larger utensils is solid 18/8 stainless steel sidewalls with a thick Nutri-Plexdiffusion bottom. Some of the advantages of this type of construction are:

• It allows for heating large quantities for long period of time and it retains heat better.

• It helps reduce the overall weight to make them more manageable.

• It is also good for utensils with large bottom surface areas (like the Gran Cacerola) to ensure veryeven heat over large surfaces for frying, rice dishes, casseroles, etc.

You should note that the 6 Litre Roaster is also made of this same construction.

Due to the large size and the large volume of food, “water-less” cooking is usually not recommended inutensils over 8 Litres, even though it may work.

Jumbo sized pieces include:• Queen Cooker – 8 L

• King Cooker – 12 L

• Super Deluxe Cooker – 16 L

• Max Cooker – 27 L

• Gran Cacerola – 38 cm, 6 L

RW240 USA 28 1245.01.0910

VI. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Rena Ware cookware is extremely durable and will last a lifetime if properly cared for. It is helpful to knowa few maintenance tips to explain to your customers how to properly take care of their cookware.

Use and care instructions can be found in the Stainless Steel Cookware Use & Care RW778, which isshipped with most cookware, and in a Rena Ware Use & Care/Cookbook RW361, which is shipped withthe Gourmet Set.

RW240 USA 31 1245.01.0910

COOKWARE PRODUCT SEMINAR (ADVANCED) - TRAINER’S GUIDE 

 

Here are some basic care tips:

Cleaning

For best results, hand wash in hot soapy water and dry immediately.

Here is a good tip to make clean-up even easier: Fill a sink with hot soapy water, immerse your utensilsin after cooking (and cooling) and let soak until you are ready to do the dishes.

However, be aware that you should not soak stainless steel for long periods of time, such as hours ordays, in standing water. Because of its durability, Rena Ware cookware is easy to clean and even driedon foods will clean up with a little effort.

Rena Ware cookware is also dishwasher safe, but certain more abrasive dishwasher detergents mayturn handles grey over time.

• Rena Lite

Rena Lite is Rena Ware’s exclusive stainless steel cleaner. It is an excellent cleaner for allstainless steel cookware. It will remove blue heat stains and most baked on food stains. Itworks best when used with water and a gentle scrubber to remove stubborn stains.

It can also be used to polish the exterior of the cookware by using a small amount dry on a softcloth. (Be sure to press lightly so as not to scratch the mirror finish of the utensil).

• Common care issues

It is also good to understand some of the care issues that may come up. While stainless steelis an extremely durable metal, it is not completely resistant to corrosion, pitting or spotting.Acidic foods, such as mustard, lemon juice, tomatoes, salt, can etch stainless steel if allowedto come into contact for a long period of time.

Pitting of the Stainless steel can result if salt is allowed to remain on the bottom of the utensil.It looks like tiny white spots. This pitting does not affect performance and is not in any way adefect in workmanship and material. It is best to advise customers to add salt after the waterhas boiled and then to stir to completely dissolve the salt.

Caring for Handles and Knobs

The Nutri Sensor knob can be disassembled for cleaning, no tools are required. Just unscrew thecover knob, take the pieces apart, wash them and reassemble.

In your Reference Guide page 26, you will find an excerpt from our Rena Ware Use & Care/Cookbook (RW361) which is the same information a customer receives.
