Roasting Meats on top of the range, and Stack cooking vegetables, cakes or casseroles, one pan on top of the other lets you cook with more pans than you have burners.
You'll appreciate this when you are cooking for a large family gathering or special holiday dinner. The various combinations shown below allow you to cook a number of foods on a single burner, saving energy and money. |

Where you see a saucepan sitting on top of the dome cover or the inverted combination unit, it may not have started out there. You must begin cooking most raw vegetables in a saucepan on a burner at medium heat. Once the cover of the pan is hot to touch and the cover spins freely on a cushion of water you can place the saucepan on the dome cover to finish cooking. Precooked foods such as canned vegetables or thawed frozen vegetables are the exceptions. You can start them out on top of a stack. |

How to Get the Most from Your Health Craft Cookware System
Why Health Craft Stack Cooking Works
When you ordered your Health Craft pans, you acquired a "nutritional cooking system." The ability to stack cook is one of the reasons we call the cookware a system. Our engineers specifically designed your Health Craft utensils to work together to cook food more efficiently.
Hot From Bottom to Top
Stack cooking Health Craft cookware is successful because the 5PLY Full Body metal construction conducts heat evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the unit, then transfers heat to the next pan.
Using a digital pyrometer, we measured the temperature of the stack configuration shown. After one hour of cooking over low heat the top cover maintained 92.3% of its original temperature. Our exclusive 5PLY Full Body Construction moves heat along so efficiently and thoroughly that the top pan cooks as if it were sitting on a burner itself! That's using synergy instead of energy. It’s Smart cooking!
A Close Fit Family
The diameters of your Health Craft pans were calculated so that various pans could be inverted and used as covers on top of other pans. This cover provides a shelf for another pan. Now that's valuable versatility!
What Can You Do With Your Pans?
Have some fun and try out combinations for yourself with your Health Craft Collection. You'll be amazed at how many combinations this valuable system yields. In fact, we engineered 32 basic variations into the entire system.
Get the most out of your nutritional cooking system by using the stack cooking method. Enjoy the convenience, and savings of money and time.

Try Your First Stack Cooked Meal Tonight
Stack cooking is truly easy. Just remember a couple of things:
As with all cooking in Health Craft pans, fill each pan to the top with the food to be cooked.
Heat the pans to be stacked to the point at which they reach the vapor seal before you stack them. Stacking the pans lets the food finish cooking or, if you desire, just keeps it warm.
Ready to give stack cooking a try? Prepare the following delicious meal entirely on one burner.
1. Begin cooking a roast as normal in the six-quart roaster: Heat the pan to the point where water drops dance on the bottom. Then sear the roast (about a five-pound one) on all sides.
2. Place accompanying vegetables (washed but unpeeled, sliced carrots; quartered potatoes; etc.) around the roast. You do not need to put any water in the roaster.
3. Place the steamer rack or large rack in the roaster. Put prepared cake mix in the thermo server, cover it tightly with foil, and set on rack. Then put the high dome cover on the roaster. When the high dome cover is warm to the touch, lower the heat.
4. Pre-heat a small pan (1 quart or 2 quart) of cored apple or vegetables on medium heat until the lid is hot to the touch and the vapor seal is achieved. Turn off the burner and set the pan on top of the high dome cover.
The whole meal will cook in about 50 minutes!
