FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
Keep the EasyView Lid closed while cooking to optimize cooking times and

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
If needed, open the EasyView Lid while cooking to add ingredients. Use a pot
holder or oven mitt and fully extend the Lid until it “clicks” in full open position.

One of the nicest features of the EasyView Lid is the ease with which the

fried foods are done or if the roast chicken looks golden.
