4 Steps to Easy Indoor Smoker Cooking

Wh at is Smoker Cooking?

Smoker Cooking is a method of dry roasting meats with a slight infusion of natural hardwood smoke. Smoking adds
tremendous aromatic flavor to foods, yet the smoking process has the unique characteristic of releasing fats from foods.
Foods are heartily flavorful while naturally released of excess fats.

Is Smoker Cooking Practical for Indoor Use?

VillaWare’s Hand-Cast Indoor Smoker-Cooker is a fast, clean and healthy way to prepare some of the most delicious
meats and foods that you’ve ever tasted!

Fa s t

Just place food in the Smoker-Cooker, turn on the stovetop heat, and you’ll soon have a completed meal. No need to
attend the foods or turn foods. No burning of foods. Leave the lid on, and let it cook on its own.

Clean

Just a couple of teaspoons of fine ground smoking chips is all you need for this wonderful flavor. No billows of smoke.
You can’t even see the smoke. If fact, did you know there is less smoke created from smoker-cooking than in grilling a
steak in an open pan? Don’t think “smokehouse” for VillaWare’s indoor smoker cooking. It is really just a hint of a
flavor and fragrance that no spice or any other cooking method can produce.

Healthy

First, smoker cooking is from all natural hardwood. It is not “liquid smoke” which is an artificial additive to many processed
“smoked” foods. Second, there is a unique characteristic that most people do not understand: the smoke cooking process
has the tendency to cause excess fats and oils to be naturally released from the meat. As smoke infuses the meat, excess fat
naturally drips out! People like grilling because it burns off fat, however grilling can produce unhealthy burning of the meat
surface. With smoking, there is no burning, just incredibly delicious pork, chicken, salmon, vegetables, etc.

Wh at Kinds of Foods are Good to Smoke?

You will get unbelievable flavor from smoking almost every type of food imaginable.

Fat drips down from the meat into the

drip-pan below.

Tall profile provides maximum smoke circulation all

around the food.

Provides a tight seal for indoor smoking. Let the

food smoke by keeping the lid closed tight. The
lid’s heavy hand-cast construction keeps the heat in.

3. Insert Meat Rack

into drip pan and place
meat on rack. Add
pork, fish, chicken and
so much more.

4. Cover with lid

Smoker cooks on the
stovetop. Food will
color wonderfully.

2. Insert Drip Pan

This will catch the
fat drippings. It is
non-stick inside.

DRIP PAN NON-STICK

NON-STICK MEAT RACK

DOMED CAST LID

HAND-CAST SMOKER PAN

1. Add Wood Chips

to Smoker-Pan bottom.
Just 1-2 teaspoons is
typically enough.

Unique and even stovetop heating is the key to

authentic smoking. The burning wood chips at the
bottom of the pan stay dry because all the fat is
caught in the drip-pan above.

How Do I Use the Smoker-Cooker?

You’ll find that smoking is a very easy and healthful way to cook.

1. Add wood chips to the bottom of the pan. 1-2 teaspoons is typically enough, just vary according to taste.

2. Insert drip pan which will catch the fat drippings. The drip pan is non-stick inside. You can spray on a little oil
coating or add aluminum foil to make clean up even easier.

3. Insert meat rack. Here again, you can spray a little oil coating to ease clean up.

4. Cover with lid. The heavy all hand-cast lid seals everything in. The lid heats up just like the pan itself to create a
convection oven effect inside.

5. Roast on stovetop at medium to high, about 30-45 minutes. Cook to taste. Food will color wonderfully. If you
overcook, your food will not burn, but it can become overly dry.

6. Continue to cook, but do not open lid. Don’t keep “peeking” at the food. Let it cook! Let it smoke! Keep the lid
on until you need to check food towards end of the cooking cycle. Excess oils drip into pan. Meats naturally have
less fat and are delectably flavored and colored.

Enjoy your indoor smoked foods. Natural, healthful and flavorful!

Use & Care of VillaClassic™Cookware

Vi llaClassic™Hand-Cast Aluminum Alloy Cookware

The three primary ways to care for VillaClassic™ Cookware are:

S

Season before first use.

S

Hand wash only.

S

Use only nylon or wooden utensils.

Season Inside of Pan Before First Use

Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Lightly rub a small amount of cooking oil onto the non-stick surface.
Heat the pan in 250-degree oven for 3 minutes and let cool. Hand wash in warm soapy water and rinse.
Pan is ready for first use.

Note: Do not season the hand-polished exterior. The exterior does not require seasoning.

Hand Wash Only

Dishwashing is not recommended. Hand washing is easiest on this cookware and is always recommended.

Use Only Nylon or Wooden Utensils

The QuanTanium™non-stick coating is extremely durable. In technical tests, it has an extremely long life even
under use with metal utensils. However, as with most fine cookware, our official recommendation as the
manufacturer is to use only nylon or wooden utensils when cooking. This way, you will be sure of a maximum
long cooking life for your fine cookware.

Professional Handles

The heavy, commercial-style handles are made with all metal construction, making them completely oven and flame
proof. Your metal VillaClassic handles will get hot during cooking, grilling and oven roasting. Always use appropriate
pot holders or mitts with care when cooking.
