A cooking system comprising:

• a pan having a vapor forming tube;
• a food item support structure securable to the vapor forming tube;
• and
• a kabob/basting structure having a food item support platform, a number of spaced kabob/basting material supports and a food item support platform support structure;
• the pan having a bottom surface from which the vapor forming tube extends;
• the vapor forming tube having a liquid retaining cavity for retaining a volume of a vapor forming liquid therein and a vapor release opening for releasing vapor formed from vapor forming liquids retained within the liquid retaining cavity when the vapor forming tube is subject to heat from a cooking appliance;
• the food item support structure being securable to the vapor forming tube in a manner such that a food item supported by the food item support structure is partially exposed to vapor emitted from the vapor release opening of the vapor forming tube;
• the kabob/basting structure having a washer-shaped food item support platform having a circular opening formed therethrough such that the washer-shaped food item support platform is positionable over the vapor forming tube, a number of spaced kabob/basting material supports radiating outwardly and rigidly connected to the washer-shaped food item support platform, and a food item support platform support structure adapted for maintaining the washer-shaped food item support platform above a bottom surface of the bottom surface of the pan and to be positionable in connection with a food item to be cooked and in connection with the vapor forming tube in a manner such that a number of the spaced kabob/basting material supports are maintained above a section of the food item to be cooked such that basting material held on the number of the spaced kabob/basting material supports may drip down onto a portion of the food item to be cooked;
• the food item support platform support structure including multiple spaced support prongs;
• each multiple spaced support prong including a pointed insertion tip at a bottom end thereof;
• each multiple spaced support prong being integrally formed with an outer edge of the washer-shaped food item support platform;
• each multiple spaced support prong tapering from a broad top end to the pointed insertion tip at the bottom end thereof.
