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
VillaClassic ™ 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.
