B&F Systems out of Dallas, Texas is the distributor. They do not sell to the general public, only to independent business owners. You can find them at bnfusa.com

We have been selling this product for over 4 years, and have not had this happen, so I do not think this is a serious or frequent problem. We have found customer need replacement knobs for a couple of reasons. (1) They are old, and have had them wear out (2) Misuse--putting them in the oven at high heat than recommended. (3) Forgetting an empty pot on the stove when the heat is on.

We have never had a request for knob replacement for the reasons stated in our experience. We do always recommend taking care of the pots and pans and washing carefully by hand. I personally do not put our pieces in the dishwasher. I do not know how the steam valve can fall into the food. That could only happen if the valve was broken, the cover was lifted and the broken valve fell in the food when the cover was lifted. There is no "hole" for a broken valve to fall through when the cover is on the pot. There is only a small valve opening for steam to go through and hit the steam valve--I don't see how it can fall through such a small opening.

Who is the importer/manufacturer of the KT17 Ultra waterless cookware? I would like to contact them for information concerning this product.

I am considering purchasing and marketing the Maxam K-17 set on my website. However, I have read three reviews on Amazon concerning problems with the steam valve insert falling out of the cover and in some case into the food being cooked. One of the reviews stated that the defective part was returned and replaced. However, in a matter of a month, the same problem recurred. This is a serious issue. Can someone comment?

I am not sure what parts you are referring to. If you mean handles and knobs, then they can be obtained from www.cookwaresplus.com. You need to call and talk to them about what parts you are looking for. If the set it relatively new it should not be a problem to get handles and knobs.

Could someone tell me where to buy a few of the extra plastic parts for "just in case" events. I love my KT17 Ultra set. It is amazing you can cook with such low energies (power). My source (ebay) did not know where to get parts.
Thanks for the help. Bill

The USA made cookwares, such as HealthCraft, Saladmaster, or Americraft Cookware are induction ready. I am not sure that any other foreign made sets can be used on an induction cooktop.

The Vaposeal has a plate on the bottom that is 7 ply. The sides are not 7 ply. but have an inner and outer layer of stainless steel and inner layers of an aluminum alloy and carbon steel. I am still trying to find out how may ply is up the sides, but have not found any pictures for this particular set. I know the construction is similar to the KT-17 Ultra, BUT it is not conduction ready.

I will post any further information I can get.

Apart from KT17 and KT17 ULTRA, what are the other sets which can support induction cook tops?

Is the Vapo-seal cookware 7 ply up the sides or just on the bottom? If just on the bottom, what is the breakdown of the constuction of the sides?
