FOR BEST RESULTS, READ the following start up tips before using this product. Remember this is an ELECTRIC unit and
has different characteristics than a gas unit.
FOR SAFETY, heating element only heats up when properly attached to mounting bracket (see assembly instructions). This
is a powerful heating element and may cause circuit breaker to trip. Minimize occurrences by operating any
additional appliances on separate circuit. Tripping circuit breaker will NOT damage unit or household electrical system.
PRE-HEATING oil or water may take up to 35 minutes. Take advantage of this time to prepare foods for cooking. For
optimum performance, completely pre-heat unit to cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods. Keep lid CLOSED
during pre-heating and cooking. This will reduce heating time and keep temperature more consistent.
POWER LIGHT will illuminate indicating power cord is plugged into outlet.
READY INDICATOR LIGHT will turn ON when set temperature is reached. Indicator light will turn on and off to maintain set
temperature.
TIMER is NOT connected to heating element. Element WILL NOT TURN OFF when timer beeps.

ONION STRAW BLOSSOM
Oil for frying
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chunky salsa
2 large (12 ounces each) white or Vidalia onions
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp Mexican Chili Powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 (12-ounce) non-alcoholic beer
Preheat oil to 375º F
(191°C)
in electric fryer. For sauce, combine sour cream and salsa in a small bowl. Refrigerate until
serving. To make onion flower, peel onions and cut 3/4 inch off the top of each onion. Trim, but do not cut off root end.
Cut each onion into quarters from the top to 1/2 inch from root end. Then cut each quarter section into 4 thin wedges,
cutting to within 1/2 inch from root end. Using a sharp knife, remove some of the center petals, careful not to cut through
the bottom. Discard center petals. Carefully spread the remaining petals apart. Place the 3/4 cup flour, chili powder,
garlic salt, and pepper in a large heavy-duty plastic bag; add onion, shaking to coat. Shake off excess flour mixture.
Repeat with remaining onion. Whisk the 1 cup flour, cornstarch, salt, and beer in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip onions
in beer mixture, moving so onions are thoroughly coated. Drain to remove excess coating. Using a long-handled slotted
spoon or wire basket, lower one onion, root-end side down, into hot oil. Fry about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown
and onion is tender. Drain on wire rack. Spoon sauce into center of onion; serve immediately.
