Skillet Accessory
The Skillet is made of solid cast iron with an enamel coating
to provide long life and durability. Ridges underneath the
Skillet are designed to fit over the EvenSear ® Cooking
System, ensuring the Skillet will not move during cooking. A
back splash is also provided to prevent food from slipping
into the grill area (Figure 4).
! NOTE: Enamel coating can chip or become damaged
if Skillet is dropped or struck with hard surfaces. Avoid
scraping the enamel surface if metallic utensils are
used. Wood or heat-resistant Silicone or plastic are
recommended.
Before first use, remove all packing material from Skillet.
Hand wash in warm, soapy water and rinse and dry
thoroughly.
! NOTE: If Skillet and Hot Dog Roller accessories are to be
used simultaneously, install Hot Dog Roller first. Hot Dog
Roller requires installation directly from the side (see step
9, page 15) to prevent damage to the motor.
CAUTION: To avoid burns to skin, do not install any
accessory while grill is hot or operating. Allow grill to
cool for at least 15 minutes before adding any cooking
accessory.
Skillet Cooking Tips
Only oil or grease Skillet once it has been fully preheated. •
Let a few drops of cold water touch the Skillet for a test of
readiness. If the droplets spatter and evaporate quickly,
Skillet is ready.
Use only vegetable or corn oils to grease Skillet. Others
•
like olive oil or margarine have a lower smoking point and
may affect the taste of your food.
For additional flavouring, use pre-cook marinades.
•
Allow foods to sear and seal their outer surfaces before •
attempting to move or lift. Food may separate or break
otherwise.
As Skillet is used, a Patina (a brown or black film) will

not attempt to remove this as Patina improves the release
of foods from the Skillet’s cooking surface.
