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 NO
T 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 or the interior of your pot, fill to the level of the dar kened 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.
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.
Page 26
NEVER PLACE AN EMPTY ALUMINUM OR STAINLESS STEEL PO T 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 P ots are coated with paraffin to prevent rusting. Before using for the first time , wash with mild soapy water, rinse, and dr y 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. 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.

DIRECTIONS FOR FRYING TURKEYS
1. Determining Oil Levels & Turkey Size: To determine the amount of oil needed, lower the turkey into the pot and cover with water. Use the same amount of oil in the place of water when frying the turkey. It is important not to put more oil into the pot than necessary to cover the immersed turkey to prevent overflow of hot oil during the cooking process. A 24 PK will hold up to a 14 lb. turkey, a 26 PK will hold up to a 16 lb.turkey, and a 30 PK will hold up to a 20 lb.turkey.Tip: Make sure the meat of the entire bird is submerged, but the tips of the turkey leg bones can be above the level of the grease when the bird has been placed into the pot for cooking.This helps prevent overflow of the oil.
2. Pour the necessary amount of peanut oil into the pot. Enough oil should be used so that the turkey is covered when it is lowered into the pot.
3. Light the cooker as per the instruction manual. Never allow temperature of oil to exceed 350˚F.
Always use a deep fry thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil. Never leave the cooker unattended!
4. Thaw, thowel dr y the turkey completely. Coat the turkey inside and out with King Kooker
® Cajun
Seasoning. Inject with marinade if desired. See the following page for injecting tips.
5. Place the turkey on the frying rack with the legs up. (Figure #1)
6. Using mitts for protection and the lifting hook, lower the turkey into the 350˚ F oil very slowly. Be careful not to splash hot oil. (Figure #2)
7. Cook turkey at 350˚ F for 3 1/2 minutes per pound. When the planned cooking time has passed and it is time to check for doneness, turn the gas to the burner completely off. (Figure #3)
8. Make sure the burner is off before lifting the turkey to drain. Using mitts and lifting hook again, slowly lift turkey from the pot. Allow the turkey to drain. Slice at the thigh joint. If the thigh appears to be well cooked, the turkey is ready. Allow the turkey to cool before slicing.

INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING OIL
In our instructions we suggest peanut oil for deep frying. While this is an excellent choice, any good liquid vegetable oil may be substituted.
SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING USED COOKING OIL:
After initial use, let the oil cool. While slightly warm, filter out par ticles before storing in original container or similar sturdy plastic or glass container.Never pour hot oil into a container.This can be accomplished by using filter paper (coffee filters) or a clean cloth (dishtowel).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 fr ied potatoes after frying your turkey, chicken or fish. This aids in improving the flavor of the oil for the next use.

RECIPES
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®Crab 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
®
Crab Boil. Soaking time: Shrimp - 5 to 10 minutes; Crawfish and Crabs - 15 to 30 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”.
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 y our King Kooker®.Allow the skillet to get almost white hot -- hot enough to see the flame circlein the center of the skillet.This recipe produces lots of
smoke.
Fish fillets should be 1/2thick 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.
