THERMOMETER INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR

DEEP FRYING WITH OUTDOOR COOKERS

1. Always use a deep fry thermometer when using this appliance as a fryer/boiler. a. Before each use of the appliance make sure that the thermometer is properly calibrated by placing the tip in a pot of boiling water. The thermometer should register within +/-20° of 212°F or +/-10° of 100°C. If the thermometer is miscalibrated, contact Metal Fusion, Inc. to obtain a replacement before using the appliance. b. Hang the thermometer on the inside of the pot with the probe immersed in the cooking liquid. Never place a lid over a pot when monitoring the temperature of oil. c. Once the fire has been lit monitor the temperature on the thermometer at all times. Water boils at 212°F(100°C). The temperature of hot oil should never be allowed to exceed 350°F(177°C). IMPORTANT: Oil can ignite at high temperatures. Most King Kooker® thermometers have a Red Zone above

350°F(177°C) to signify Danger. Never allow the temperature to exceed 350°F(177°C). If the temperature goes above 350°F(177°C) immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to below 350°F(177°C) before relighting according to instructions in the manual. If at any point during the cooking process the oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF regardless of the reading on the thermometer. Allow time for the oil to cool, then contact Metal Fusion, Inc. for further

instructions. d. When the cooking is complete and the cooker has been turned off, allow the temperature of the oil to fall below 100°F(38°C) before moving the pot, cooking oil, or cooker. e. Please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 with any questions concerning the use or operation of the thermometer.

2. Never cover the pot when cooking with oil.

3. Always thaw and dry food completely before placing it into hot oil. Frozen or wet food may cause oil or grease

to overflow.

4. Never put an empty pot over an open flame.

5. In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms of precipitation while cooking with oil/grease, cover the

cooking vessel immediately and turn off the appliance burners and gas supply. Do not attempt to move the

appliance or cooking vessel.

6. When cooking with oil or grease, fire extinguishing materials shall be readily accessible. In the event of an oil

or grease fire do NOT attempt to extinguish with water. Immediately call your Fire Department. A Type BC or

Type ABC fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.

7. This appliance is not for frying turkeys.

DETERMINING PROPER FILL LEVELS FOR COOKING VESSELS

Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil, grease or water. Never fill a pot beyond the maximum fill line. If the pot being used does not have a maximum fill line, follow these instructions to determine the amount of cooking liquid to be used: a. Place the food product in or on the holder. b. Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel. c. Fill the vessel with water just until the food product is completely submerged. There must be a minimum of 3 inches (7.5 cm) between the water level and top of the vessel. d. Remove the food product from the vessel and either mark the water level on the side of the vessel or measure the amount of water in the vessel. e. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product. f. This is the amount of cooking liquid the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product.

TIPS FOR CARING FOR

ALUMINUM FRY PANS AND BOILING POTS

It is not necessary to season aluminum pots before cooking with them. Wash with a liquid dish washing detergent and towel dry.

After cooking, wash aluminum pots and fry pans in hot, sudsy detergent. If grease or black soot has cooked to the outside of the pot while cooking with your outdoor cooker, scrub the outside of the pot with a steel wool scouring pad.

DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER ON ALUMINUM POTS TO REMOVE GREASE OR SOOT. OVEN CLEANER WILL CAUSE THE FINISH TO BECOME DULL.

If food remains stuck in the pan after cooking, add hot water and let soak. Then scrub the pan with soap and steel wool to loosen the food.

If hard water causes darkening on the interior of your pot, fill to the level of the darkened area with a water and cream of tartar or vinegar solution (mixed with the concentration of three cups of water to one tablespoon cream of tartar, or vinegar). Boil five to ten minutes.

NEVER PLACE AN EMPTY ALUMINUM OR STAINLESS STEEL POT ON A LIT COOKER. A hole will be burned in the bottom of the pot. Discoloration, scratching, and dimpling may occur with the use of pots on outdoor cookers. This does not affect the performance of the pot.

Do not store used oil inside your aluminum pot. The salt used in cooking can corrode the pot causing the pot to leak. Wash the pot after each use with hot, soapy water and rinse.

SEASONING & CARE OF CAST IRON COOKWARE

New Cast Iron Pots are coated with paraffin to prevent rusting. Before using for the first time, wash with mild soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive detergents. Grease the entire surface of the cookware with a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening. Do not use salted fat (margarine or butter). Heat for 30-60 minutes in oven at 300-350°F (149-177°C.) Remove from oven, pour out excess grease, and wipe with a paper towel. This completes the seasoning process. Each time the cast iron is used, coat the entire surface with a thin coat of solid vegetable shortening, wipe with a paper towel, and store.

INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING OIL

A good liquid vegetable oil must be used for deep frying.

SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING USED COOKING OIL:

After initial use, let the oil cool. While slightly warm, filter out particles before storing in original container or similar sturdy plastic or glass container. This can be accomplished by using filter paper (coffee filters) or a clean cloth (dishtowel). Never pour hot oil into a container. For best results store oil in a cool place. It can be reused within 30 days. Discard after second use or when the flavor of reheated oil becomes objectionable to taste.

Helpful Hint: Try frying a batch of french fried potatoes after cooking. This aids in improving the flavor of the oil for the next use.

Steamed Clams or Mussels

Clean clams thoroughly in cold water, scrubbing with a brush. Discard any that float. Place clams on steamer plate in basket. Pour enough water into pot to come up to bottom of steamer rack when in pot. Bring water to a boil and cover. The clams are cooked when the shells open. Any shells which do not open should be discarded. Remove from heat. Too much cooking will toughen the clams. Serve with drawn or melted butter.

Steamed Blue Crabs, Shrimp, or Lobsters

Place water in the pot up to the bottom of the steaming plate. You can replace one half of a gallon of the water with 1/2 gallon of vinegar if you would like. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of steamer seasoning and 3 tablespoons salt to water/vinegar mixture. Place the steamer rack into the pot and layer the seafood on the steamer rack, sprinkling each layer generously with steamer seasoning. Salt to taste. Cover and steam until crabs or lobsters turn red (approximately 20-25 minutes). Steam shrimp (approximately 10-15 minutes), the meat will pull away from the shell when done. For extra flavor pour two ounces of King Kooker® Liquid Crab Boil into the water/ vinegar mixture. (Make sure to never allow all of the steaming liquid to evaporate. A hole will be burned into the bottom of an empty pot on a lit cooker.)

We recommend King Kooker® Complete Crab, Shrimp, Crawfish Boil to add flavor to all your

steamed seafoods and vegetables.

A Little Extra

To complement your seafood, try including a few pounds of creamer potatoes, a dozen ears of corn, a pound of fresh mushrooms,

five or six cloves of garlic, fresh peeled onions, hot dogs, smoked sausage or andouille sausage.

Hint: Allow potatoes extra cooking time by adding them to the boiling seasoned water 5 to 10 minutes before adding the

seafood.

Blackened Fish

Heat a cast iron skillet for at least ten minutes on your King Kooker®. Allow the skillet to get almost white hot -- hot enough to

see the “flame circle” in the center of the skillet. This recipe produces lots of smoke.

Fish fillets should be 1/2” (1.25 cm) thick for best results. Dip fillets in melted butter or margarine and shake King Kooker®

Blackened Redfish Seasoning on both sides of fillets. Drop into the skillet and cook for 45 seconds on each side. Serve piping hot.

Barbecue Shrimp

Ingredients: 2 lbs. large shrimp, 1 stick butter or margarine, 4 tablespoons King Kooker® Blackened Redfish Seasoning. Melt butter over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold all ingredients. Add seasonings and shrimp. Cover the pot and cook

for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Shrimp are ready when they are a pretty pink color.

Fried Seafood

Wash and drain seafood. Remove any excess moisture. This will reduce splashing and popping in hot oil. Thoroughly coat seafood with King Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry. Place in oil or shortening at 325 - 350°F (163-177°C) and cook until golden brown on

all sides. Heavier breading may be obtained by dipping seafood in a mixture of egg and milk before coating with seasoned fish fry.

Boiled Seafood! The King Kooker® Way!

For a 60 to 100 quart pot, fill 1/2 full of water. Add 4 to 6, 16 ounce King Kooker® Complete Crab, Shrimp, Crawfish ,Boil

(complete, nothing to add). Bring water to a rolling boil. Add seafood. Gently stir. Cover the pot and return to boil. Boiling times: Shrimp

- 2 minutes; Crawfish - 5 minutes; Crabs - 5 minutes. Cut off the fire. Gently stir the seafood again and let it soak. Add one 8 ounce King Kooker® Liquid Crab Boil. Soaking time: Shrimp - 15 to 20 minutes; Crawfish and Crabs - 15 to 20 minutes.

Seafoods tend to float on the surface while soaking. On the surface they do not thoroughly absorb the seasoning. Add the equivalent of four trays of ice to the pot, allowing it to float on the surface of the liquid. This sudden change of temperature causes the seafood to sink and to draw in the great flavor of King Kooker® seasoning.
