Operation
Basket Insert:
a. An optional kettle basket insert can assist in cooking water-boiled
products including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and
rice. The nylon mesh liner must be used when cooking product
smaller than the mesh size of the basket, which is approximately
1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice and small pasta shapes.
b. Tips For Use:
1) Allow for the water displacement of the basket and product
to be cooked. This may mean only filling the kettle half full
of water. Test the basket and product displacement with the
kettle OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
2) Load basket on a level, stable work surface.
3) Lift the loaded basket with both hands. Get help from
another person if the basket is too heavy for safe handling.
Then slowly lower product into kettle.
4) When removing basket with cooked product, lift basket
straight up, ensuring bottom of basket clears the rim and
pouring lip of the kettle. Wear protective oven mitts and
protective apron.
5) Allow hot water to fully drain from product, before moving
basket away from the kettle. Do not rest kettle basket on
kettle rim or pouring lip. If basket is too heavy for individual
to lift and safely move, get help from another person.
Remove product immediately from basket into another
container, being sure to avoid contact with hot product and
hot basket or place basket with food on stable, flat surface,
setting it inside a solid steamer or bake pan, to catch any
remaining hot water draining from product.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVER FILL THE KETTLE WHEN
COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP
LIQUIDS AT A MINIMUM OF 2-3” (5-8 CM)
BELOW THE KETTLE BODY RIM TO ALLOW
CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING AND
SAFE PRODUCT TRANSFER.
