Original Health Craft 5-Ply Waterless Cookware — Since 1970

Revolutionary Full-Body Nicromium Stainless Steel • Chef Tell • Steam Control Vented Lids • Limited Inventory

Founded in 1970 in Rahway, New Jersey, by Charles Knight, Health Craft Cookware began with a mission to teach families the benefits of waterless and greaseless cooking. By 1975, Knight was performing live cooking demonstrations at fairs, home shows, and shopping malls nationwide, where he met legendary television chef Chef Tell in Buffalo, New York. Their partnership led to a revolutionary advancement in stainless steel cookware.

In 1983, Knight and Chef Tell introduced the original Health Craft Full-Body 5-Ply Nicromium Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware, featuring exclusive Steam Control vented lids. Unlike conventional bottom-clad cookware, its five-layer construction extended through the sidewalls for even heat distribution, making it ideal for waterless cooking, greaseless frying, baking, roasting, and slow cooking. This innovative American-made cookware became a Health Craft classic.

By 1986, Health Craft was pioneering television cookware infomercials, bringing professional cooking demonstrations into homes across America. Knight appeared with broadcasting legend Jack Harris on WFLA and the Food Network's Jack Can't Cook, and with Chef Tell on PAX Television's In the Kitchen. Through national television, cookbooks, and cooking schools, Health Craft built its reputation on one philosophy: Don't just sell cookware — teach people how to cook with it.
