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 sauté foods on a lower temperature setting.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SKILLET
CAUTION: Skillet is hot. Handle carefully.
1. Always allow the skillet to completely cool before cleaning.
2. Unplug cord from wall outlet, then remove TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE
from appliance. CAUTION: The probe on the temperature control piece
could be hot. Wipe probe clean with a dry towel.
3. Immerse the skillet and lid in warm, soapy water and wash with a soft cloth.
Rinse well and dry. All parts, except the TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE, are
fully immersible.
NOTE: Do Not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads on cook-
ing surfaces as this will damage the non-stick coating.
WARNING: Do not immerse TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE in water or
other liquid.
The dimples also improve the non-stick properties.
CAUTION: Escaping steam is hot! Be careful when removing or lifting
lid. Oven mitts are recommended when removing cover from skillet
base or when replacing it.
NOTE: If heating oil, always leave the lid off. If oil smokes, immediately
turn skillet OFF and allow to cool.
1. Set the skillet on a flat, dry, heat resistant surface.
2. 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.
3. 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 go out. (When adding food, the indicator light will
come on briefly as the overall cooking temperature is reduced.)
4. Preheat the skillet with the lid on for 10 – 15 minutes or until the indi-
cator 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.
5. The textured surface provides two advantages. The first is healthier
cooking. Less grease and oil are in contact with the food meaning less
is absorbed during cooking. This results in crispier, healthier food.
