Company History and Focus
The company was founded in 1939 after research and development by two cookware specialists from Seattle University and University of Wisconsin. Their goal was to create products that would cook food in a healthy way while preserving the taste. Vita Craft advertises their cookware as healthy because the pans require little oil and are designed with a vapor seal, so no heat or moisture escapes the pan when the lid is secured, which results in waterless cooking. Waterless cooking requires less heat and less pressure, while retaining more vitamins and minerals, than cookware that is not waterless. In addition, the high ply count enables certain pans to cook items like cakes without burning them like stoves often do.
In 1966, Vita Craft Corporation wanted to expand their facilities to the land that housed a jail built in 1843. As a result, a group of citizens formed the Shawnee Historical Society and moved the jail to Shawnee Town, where it stands today.
