Hints:
To thicken stew, mix
in ¼ cup of flour with
enough water to form
a thin paste. Gradually
add it to the stew,
stirring until thickened.
If using fresh parsley
or herbs in your recipe,
add them in the last
few moments of
cooking to preserve
flavor.
Canned stew tomatoes
or water with bouillon
seasoning and spices
added make great
stock starters for soups
and stews.
To Simmer
1. Place the Cooking Pan into the Cool-Touch
Base. It should snap securely into place.
2. Plug the Temperature Control Probe into the
port in the Cool-Touch Base.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the
Off
position. Plug the power cord into an
available power outlet.
4. Place food inside the Cooking Pan. Place the
tempered glass lid on top.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the
desired temperature. The indicator light
will illuminate. When preparing soup or
stew, allow extra time for it to simmer. This
will allow flavors to fully blend and meat to
become more tender.
6. During operation, the indicator light will turn
off and on once the selected temperature
is reached to maintain that temperature.
If the temperature is set above 212°F when
steaming or simmering, the indicator light
will not turn off because the maximum
temperature reached when cooking with
liquid is the boiling point (212°F).
7. When cooking has finished, turn the
Temperature Control Dial to the
Off
position
and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
