Guardian Service Cookware is HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER by collectors. This cookware was manufactured by the Century Metalcraft Corporation of Los Angeles. It was sold by independent salespeople from the 1930s until 1956, when the manufacturing plant unfortunately burned down. Guardian Service Cookware was considered high-end back in the day and was sold as both cooking and serving pieces (from stove to table) using demonstrations of cooking methods with cookbooks of suggested recipes to make sales.
The selling point for Guardian Service Cookware was the "waterless" method by which it cooked food, using unique domed lids to condense moisture, which would then seep back into the food. I have these pots myself and I wouldn't part with them. I find, depending on the vegetable you are cooking and the size you chop them into, you may need to add a very small amount of water to the pot. When I cook potatoes I rinse them once they are in the pot and that automatically leaves a little water in there after I have drained them. You heat up the pot on medium, never hot, and when you see the steam in the lid, turn it down to low and then let your food cook to your taste. Voila! a nutritious meal.
I have two Guardian Service pots available which are both in excellent condition:
Smallest is 28cm x 17cm x 9cm
Largest is 28cm x 17cm x 11cm
So the only difference is the 2cms in the height.
