The convenience of stack cooking

Stack Cooking is a wonderfully convenient feature of your iCook Stainless Cookset. You can prepare more foods at one time by stacking a small pan on top of a larger one. Your cookset is specially designed to provide the uniform heat distribution necessary for Stack Cooking.

Just follow these simple steps:

1. When placing one pan on top of another, always have the larger pan on the bottom. The appropriately sized Dome Lid must be used to cover the lower pan.
   
2. The bottom pan should contain foods with more weight and volume or require longer cooking times, such as meat, poultry and stews.
   
3. The second, or upper pan, should be used for foods that have less weight and volume or need a shorter cooking time, such as fruit, fresh or frozen vegetables, sauces or puddings, for melting butter or chocolate, for reheating leftovers or for keeping foods warm.
   
4. Place lower pan on MEDIUM heat until the water seal forms, then reduce heat to LOW. (If cooking meat, preheat pan and brown meat on both sides on MEDIUM, cover and reduce to LOW after the water seal forms.)
   
5. Vegetables (or other foods) can be heated in the Double Boiler Inset Pan. Remove lid from lower pan and place the Double Boiler inside. Replace the Dome Lid immediately so that the moisture already evaporating in the lower pan will re-form the water seal.
   
6. You can cook vegetables or other foods in a smaller pan placed on top of a larger one designed for it. Synchronise cooking times so that everything is ready at the same time. Before stacking your smaller pan on top of a larger one, heat it on another cooker ring until the water seal forms.  (Forming a water seal is not necessary if you’re melting, reheating, or keeping foods warm for serving.)
   
7. Do not place a small pan inside a larger pan, or within pans with similar diameters, to use as a double boiler or for any other cooking function. The Double Boiler Inset Pan is especially designed for double boiling.
