There are 2 ways to remove the grease and oils from the channel:
• Use a bulb baster.
• Remove the browned food from the skillet. Using pot holders, pour the drippings
into a container.
USING YOUR SKILLET
1. Set temperature to desired temperature setting or according to your recipe. The
indicator light will flash next to the selected temperature.
2. When the selected temperature is reached, the light becomes constant.
Note:
During cooking the light will turn on and off, indicating the temperature is
maintained.
3. When finished cooking, set temperature control to WARM to keep food at serving
temperature or OFF before unplugging and removing from the base.
4. To take the skillet to the table for serving, remove the digital control probe. Press
the pan release button on the left side of the base. Using pot holders and both
hands tilt the removable pan up on the side opposite from the probe socket and
pull the skillet to the left to disengage the probe socket from the base. Lift the
skillet straight up and off the base.
Caution: Be careful when removing the pan for serving, as it will still be hot from
cooking.
Note:
Use a trivet to protect the surface where the removable pan is being placed.
5. Use silicone, rubber or wood utensils when cooking and serving. If using metal
utensils, be careful not to scrape the nonstick finish.
Caution: Do not operate the skillet without the cooking base attached.
Important: This product is not a fryer. Do not cook with more than 1 – 2 tbsp.
of oil or other fat at a time.
Caution: Do not cut food in the skillet. This will scratch the nonstick surface.
