After the Second World War concluded in 1945, Canada experienced a marriage and baby boom that started, roughly, in 1946 and ended in the early 1960s. The 1950s are often considered a decade of prosperity when the Canadian economy grew by 37%. By the end of the decade, the average family had 30% more purchasing power than it did at the beginning of the decade. In contrast to the Depression-era years when financial instability forced many to limit their family size, the birth rate was significantly higher in the postwar years. Immigration to Canada also increased following lower rates of resettlement in the 1930s and early 1940s. As a result, the percentage of older people in Canada grew far more slowly than in the 1930s, and even decreased some years, whereas the number of young people multiplied. While Canada was becoming more youthful than ever, it was also going through a nutritional revolution. Health became a priority, especially the health of newborn babies. Stainless Steel Cookware for Tastier Foods, Better Health contains an entire section dedicated to healthy cooking for babies, suggesting various nutritious recipes for use with the waterless stainless steel cooking set.  

Canada's first food guide, the Official Food Rules, was introduced to the Canadian people in July of 1942. This guide acknowledged wartime food rationing while working to prevent nutritional deficiencies and improve the health of Canadians. Since 1942, the food guide has undergone several transformations -- it has been given new names, new looks, and new messages, yet has never wavered from its original purpose of guiding food selection and promoting the nutritional health of Canadians. The 1942 edition of Canada's Food Rules were driven by the concern that “Canada at war cannot afford to ignore the power that is obtainable by eating the right foods.” This suggests that the guidelines from the war years were intended to provide a sufficient diet in times of disparity. The slightly revised 1944 edition stated that “the Food Rules should serve as a guide to the selection of foods which would provide the necessary nutrients from day to day” and shows Canadians which foods were considered healthy. In the 1949 edition, the contributors claimed that the “best way to be well fed is to eat a variety of food.” This new theme of a variety of foods being required to maintain a healthy diet is definitely expressed in Stainless Steel Cookware for Tastier Foods, Better Health. The book contains its own version of a food guide/food rules in a section titled "What to Eat to be Healthy." The book provides nutritional information for the whole family, including infants, young children, teenagers, and adults who each have their own respective category. The book recommends serving sizes of the various food groups based on their requirements while considering three different activity levels: highly active, medium active, and sedentary. The book also contains suggested servings for various vitamins and minerals. The recommendations align with Canada's Food Rules in 1949 and shows how a stable postwar economy allowed Canadians to be more health conscious and consider a wider range of foods to meet their dietary needs.

As much as Stainless Steel Cookware for Tastier Foods, Better Health recommends a balanced diet, it also serves to promote Canadian Cookware Limited's waterless stainless steel cookware set. Throughout time and around the world, cookware, bakeware, and utensils have been composed of a variety of natural and human-made materials.

Companies like Canadian Cookware Limited, and others who were producing similar products, argued that food cooked with stainless steel waterless cookware produced a superior product because the food retained its flavour without the added calories from fat.
