Kitchen Craft Waterless Cookware Feedback

We attended a cooking demo at the Texas State Fair by Kitchen Craft Waterless Cookware. I subsequently purchased a waterless pot and made the fresh veggies exactly as the demonstrator, but DH says it's still missing something ("a certain flavor," is what he said). I am thinking that MSG might have been sprinkled on the food before the demo.

Any thoughts on this subject?

Thanks,
Holly from Dallas, TX
