How to Use Your Skillet
1. Turn temperature control to “OFF”.
Plug temperature control probe
securely into receptacle on skillet,
plug into standard 120v AC outlet
and turn temperature control to
desired setting.
2. The temperature control indicator
light will come on when you set or
adjust the temperature. Once the
desired temperature is reached, the
indicator light will cycle during use,
indicating the selected temperature is
being maintained. (When adding
food, the indicator light will come on
briefly as the overall cooking temperature
is reduced.)
3. Preheat the skillet with the lid on for
10 – 15 minutes or until the indicator
light goes out. NOTE: The cooking
temperatures listed in this user manual
are estimates. Adjust the cooking
temperature slightly up or down to
achieve the results you prefer.
4. A steam vent is located on the lid. The
steam vent allows steam to escape while
cooking with the lid in place.
CAUTION: Escaping steam is hot! Be
careful when removing or lifting lid.
NOTE: If heating oil, always leave the lid
off. If oil smokes, immediately turn skillet
“OFF” and allow to cool.
Helpful Hints
• Before using the skillet for the first
time, lightly brush cooking surface
with vegetable oil. Heat, uncovered,
to 300°F. Turn “OFF” and cool
completely. Wipe away excess oil.
• Use only nylon or heat-proof plastic
cooking utensils. Metal utensils may
scratch the non-stick surface.
• This skillet is not designed to deep
fry. 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 saute
foods on a lower temperature setting.
