When frying, preheat the empty unit for 1 to 2 minutes. Dance a bead of water on it. When it evaporates add oil, butter or shortening. Cook per your recipe. Note: The hotter the oil, the less absorption in food. For best results use extra virgin olive oil or canola oil.

What's the procedure for Stack Cooking?
Our exclusive technology allows our cookware to conduct heat from the bottom to the top. Our units are constructed in such a way that the smaller units can be stacked on to the larger units. Taking advantage of this procedure by placing foods that require a longer cooking time on the bottom and working your way up with foods requiring a shorter cooking time allows you to cook an entire meal on one burner saving you money in energy bills. For a more descriptive example of this procedure, reference the customer video included with your cookware.
