To Simmer
1. Place the Cooking Pot 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 Pot. 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.

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.
Note:
· Wooden, heat-
proof plastic and
nylon utensils are
recommended. Metal
utensils may scratch the
nonstick surface.
· All vegetables should
be thoroughly cleaned
and washed before
steaming. Thin, leafy
vegetables such as
cabbage do not require
as much water as root
vegetables, such as
carrots.
· Do not remove lid
during steaming, as
steam will escape and
the cooking time will be
extended.
· Food can be placed
directly on the grilled
surface of the pot for
steaming.

To Steam
1. Place the Cooking Pot 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 on a heat-safe dish or metal rack
that will fit inside the 3-in-1 Grillet
®
with lid
closed. Pour one cup of water (or more if
needed) into the pot. Place food inside the
Cooking Pot. Place the Tempered Glass Lid on
top.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to a high
setting. The indicator light will illuminate.
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,
simmering or slow cooking, the indicator
light will not turn off because the maximum
temperature reached when cooking with liquid
is the boiling point (212°F).
7. When steaming has finished, turn the
temperature control dial to the
Off
position
and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
Caution:
During and after use,
the Tempered Glass Lid
and the nonstick pot will
become very hot. Be
sure to use the handle
and wear protective
oven mitts or gloves.
To prevent food borne
illness, always make
sure food is cooked
thoroughly before
serving.
