Cooking Methods
Fry/Sauté
Add oil, shortening, butter or margarine to Electric Skillet and preheat to 350˚ F. The amount of fat used will
vary accordingly to recipe and type or amount of food to be prepared. Pan-fry (or sauté) food rapidly in the
open Electric Skillet using a small quantity of fat.
NOTE: When heating oil, always remove the lid. If oil smokes, immediately turn the temperature control
to OFF and allow to cool.
IMPORTANT: To pan-fry, do not use more than 1 cup of oil. Select a vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying.
Butter and olive oil should only be used to sauté foods on a lower temperature setting.
Pan-Broil
Select a tender (not too thick) cut of beef such as llet mignon or top sirloin steak. Pan-broiling is best
achieved using high heat in an open skillet with no oil. If a recipe calls for it, use only a small amount of oil
or shortening. (Butter must be used with oil to prevent burning.) Preheat to 450˚ F. Place food in the open,
hot Electric Skillet. Brown food, turning often. Remove excess fat as it accumulates.
Braise
Add a small quantity of fat to the Electric Skillet and preheat to 400˚ F. Sear food in hot fat until browned
on all sides. Add specied amount of liquid, cover and turn temperature control dial down to 300˚ F, just
until the indicator light goes out (simmer point). Cook as specied in recipe, or until food is tender.
Check during cooking and add more liquid as necessary. DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.
Simmer
Add oil, shortening, butter or margarine to Electric Skillet and preheat to desired temperature. If required,
brown food on all sides. Add liquid or make a sauce as directed in recipe. With the temperature control set
to 300˚ F - 350˚ F, bring liquid to a boil. Turn temperature control dial down just until indicator light goes out.
This is the simmer point. Cover. Simmer food for the directed length of time or until food is done.
Check periodically during cooking and add more liquid as necessary. DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.
Steam
Place a small amount of water in the bottom of Electric Skillet. Add vegetables or other foods and cover.
Turn temperature control dial to 300˚ F and steam food until done. Check often, adding more water as necessary.
DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.
Warming
After cooking is completed set temperature control dial down to WARMING. Turn or stir occasionally.
When serving previously cooked and cooled food, it may be necessary to heat food rst; then turn the
temperature control to WARMING.

Hints For Care and Use of Ceramic Non-Stick Surface
• To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack objects on the grill or griddle cooking plates.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. THEY CAN CAUSE A BUILD-UP ON THE COOKING PLATES
AND MAY AFFECT THE NON-STICK PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT.
• Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Very high temperatures can cause discoloration and
shorten the life span of any non-stick sur face. If higher temperatures are necessary, preheat on medium
heat for a few minutes.
• Use only nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils with care to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
Never cut food on the grill or griddle plate.
• Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish washing liquid; DO NOT USE STEEL
WOOL as it will damage the non-stick surface of the cooking plates.
Steps For Stain Removal and Proper Care of Your Ceramic Non-Stick Coating
1. Identify stained areas on the cooking surface and sprinkle some baking soda on the stains.
2. Moisten the baking soda to get a paste like texture by adding some water.
3. Let the paste stand for a few minutes on the stains (not more than an hour).
4. Rub with a soft damp cloth or lightly scrub with a plastic scouring pad, wipe clean and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Do not rub vigorously when using a plastic scouring pad and NEVER use a metal scouring pad as
this may damage the non-stick coating.
5. Repeat the cycle once again if necessary. The performance and non-stick property of the ceramic non-
stick coating will not be affected due to stains.
