COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
•Operating the Skillet.
1.Always use skillet on a dry, level,
2.Attach heat control to skillet, making sure it is set at “OFF”. Plug cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY. CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, inspect cordset for damage or wear before each use. Do not use your product if it or its cord has been damaged or if it is not working properly.
CAUTION: Your skillet has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this skillet without close adult supervision. If you must use a longer cordset or an extension cord when using the skillet, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same or more than the wattage of the skillet (wattage is stamped on underside of skillet).
3.Preheat skillet, uncovered, for 2 to 4 minutes until desired temperature is reached, unless recipe states not to preheat. Signal light on heat control will be on while skillet is heating.
4.Refer to the Temperature Guide in this booklet for selecting the correct heat setting. (If food is frozen, use heat setting as indicated, but allow longer cooking time.)
5.When the signal light on the heat control goes out indicating that the cooking temperature has been reached, add the food. Heat may be increased or decreased, depending upon personal preference and the type or amount of food being prepared. The signal light will go on and off during cooking to indicate that proper temperature is being maintained.
6.At the end of the cooking period, set the heat control at WARM for serving, or at OFF if food will be removed immediately from skillet. After dial is set at OFF, unplug cord from wall outlet.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, handle the heat control carefully if you remove it from the product immediately after cooking because the metal probe will be
•Using Adjustable Steam Vent.
Skillet cover features an adjustable steam vent built into base of the cover knob. To open vent, move flat disc in direction of “open” arrow as printed on disc. To close vent, move disc in direction of “close” arrow as printed on disc. Typically, the steam vent should be closed to retain moisture when simmering or roasting foods. Open steam vent to release moisture when frying foods or to reduce liquid.
•Using Cover Rest
If cover features a cover rest, you can use it to hold the cover open when checking foods during cooking. Securely attach notched opening of cover rest on side of skillet (without handle). To replace cover onto skillet, lift cover off and place cover on skillet.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, never attach cover rest to skillet when serving foods. Always remove cover from skillet when serving.
•Cooking with Butter, Shortening and Oil.
Foods may be prepared with or without butter, shortening or oil. When frying, using a small amount will improve the flavor, color and/or crispness of meat, fish, poultry and eggs. Skillet is not designed to deep fry. Never use more that one cup of vegetable or peanut oil for shallow pan frying. Meat may be cooked in its own juices if skillet is covered and heat control set at SIMMER.
•Using Cooking Tools on the Non-Stick Surface.
