Operation

 

 When removing a lift-off cover: 

 

a. 

Firmly grasp the handle

 

 

 

b. 

Lift rear edge (farthest from operator) 1-2” (3-5 cm) to allow

 

  

steam and water vapor to escape the cooking vessel. Wait 2-3

 

  

seconds.

 

c. 

Tilt cover to 45-60° angle to allow any hot condensate or product

 

  

to roll off cover back into kettle.

 

d. 

Remove cover, ensuring that any remaining hot condensate or

 

  

product does not drip on operator, floor or work surfaces.

 

e. 

Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-the-way surface, or

 

  

return to kettle.

 2. 

Basket Insert 

  

An optional kettle basket insert set can assist in cooking water- boiled 
products including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and rice. 
The nylon mesh liner must be used for products smaller than the basket 
mesh size, (approximately 1/4”, 6mm). This includes rice and small pasta 
shapes. Tips for use: 
 a. 

Allow for displacement of the three baskets and product. This 
may mean only half filling the kettle. Test baskets and product 
displacement with the kettle off, and with cold water in the kettle.

 b. 

Load baskets on a level, stable work surface.

 c. 

Lift loaded baskets with both hands. Get help from another

  

 person if the basket is too heavy for safe handling.

 d. 

Slowly lower product into kettle and securely hook basket to the

  

 “Y” frame.

 e. 

When removing baskets with cooked product, lift straight up, 
ensuring basket bottoms clear the kettle rim and pouring lip. Wear 
protective oven mitts and protective apron.

 f. 

Allow hot water to fully drain from product before moving basket 
away from the kettle. Do not rest baskets on kettle rim or pouring 
lip. If baskets are too heavy for individual to lift and safely move, 
get help. Remove product immediately from basket into another 
container, being sure to avoid contact with hot product and hot 
basket or...

 g. 

Place baskets with food on a stable, flat surface, inside a solid 
steamer or bake pan,to catch any remaining hot water draining 
from product.
