NOTE: Only use the Temperature Control provided with this Skillet. Other controls may

1. Set the Temperature Control to “Off” and | A |
push the Probe firmly into the socket on the | |
Skillet Pan (A). Be sure the Control is |
|
securely inserted. Always attach the |
|
Control to the Pan FIRST before plugging |
|
into an outlet. |

2.Preheat the Skillet Pan before adding any grease or vegetable oil unless the recipe says to add fats first. Some foods do not require Skillet preheating. Use the charts and recipes in this book as a guide for procedures. To preheat the Skillet, turn the Temperature Control Knob to the
recommended setting. When the Signal Light goes out, the Skillet is preheated. During cooking, the Signal Light will cycle on and off indicating that the temperature selected is being maintained.
3.Some recipes call for simmering which means to cook foods in liquid just below the boiling point. The simmer point varies depending on the type of liquid and amount of food. To simmer, bring the food or liquid to a boil by turning the Temperature Control Knob to around 350°F (177°C). When the liquid begins to boil, slowly turn the Control Knob back until the Signal Light goes out. Cover and simmer for the length of time necessary. The Light will cycle on and off frequently to maintain the simmer temperature.

Tilt-Lid Feature
The Lid is designed with an extended piece B featuring slots that fit onto the back or sides of
the Skillet Pan body to position the Lid at an angle

Carefully lift the Lid up to remove it from the Pan edge when done for easy placement on the Skillet.
