relatively little heat. The button will alternate the lights from
hot smoke
to “
COLD
SMOKE”
by pushing the button more than once.
“HOT SMOKE”
: Press the “HOT/COLD” button until the light is lit beside the words
“HOT SMOKE.”
The unit is now in the “
HOT SMOKE”
mode. In the hot
smoke mode, both the main element and the charring element are energized at the
same time. You may now enter the desired time of cooking by pressing the
“UP-
DOWN”
button. This allows you to impart a delicious smoke flavor to food and
cook under pressure at the same time. This is the most popular mode with which to
barbeque.
“COLD SMOKE”
: Press the “HOT/COLD” button until the light is lit beside the words
“COLD SMOKE.”
The unit is now in the
“COLD SMOKE”
mode. In the
“
COLD SMOKE
” mode, only the charring element is energized. You may now
enter the desired time of smoking by pressing the
“UP-DOWN”
button. This
allows you to “Cold Smoke”. This will allow you to smoke without cooking. For
example, you can flavor steaks to cook the meat on a charcoal grill or in a pan later
on. You may also use this method to smoke nuts and hard cheese such as; Cheddar,
Gouda or Parmesan cheeses.
NOTE: The “Cold Smoke” mode will emit a small amount of smoke smell into the
kitchen. If you object to this smell, you may want to use the unit under a hood
vented to the outside when cooking in this mode.
This mode also allows you to start the unit to smoking (Pre-smoke) in order to give
flavor to fast cooking meats, such as; fish and shrimp. Otherwise, the product will
cook before the unit starts to smoke properly. Then you will get very little smoke
flavor in the cooked product. You may add extra smoke by pre-smoking before
cooking to get extra strong flavor into the food you are cooking. As stated above,
use the “
COLD SMOKE
” mode in conjunction with the h
ot smoke
mode to pre-
smoke in the cold mode and then begin barbequing in the hot smoke mode. Press
the
“HOT/COLD” Smoke Button
until the
“COLD SMOKE”
light is lit. Set
the desired time for cold smoking. Then press the
“HOT/COLD”
Smoke Button
until the hot smoke light is lit. The cooker will cold smoke for the time set and then
automatically hot smoke for the time set. You can cold smoke before the hot smoke
mode, but not after the hot smoke mode.
“PRESSURE/DELAY” Button
In the “
PRESSURE” MODE,
the
“PRESSURE/DELAY”
button allows you
to either cook with steam pressure or steam with no pressure. In the
“DELAY”
mode the
PRESSURE/DELAY”
button allows you to delay the start of the above
cooking processes for up to 99 minutes.
“PRESSURE”
: Press the button until the light is lit beside the words
“PRESS/STEAM.”
To use in the
“PRESSURE”
mode place the weighted knob on the valve stem.
This will allow the unit to build pressure. You may now enter the desired time of
cooking by pressing the
“UP-DOWN”
button. This will allow you to cook foods
under pressure quickly and with great tenderness. The charring element is disabled
and no smoke will be imparted. However, plain pressure-cooked meats, although
delicious in flavor, will be lighter in appearance. You may use the
“Brown”
mode
before pressure-cooking meat to get the desired appearance (See below).
“STEAM”
: There is no button named
“Steam.”
The
“Steam”
mode is the same as the
“Pressure”
mode except the weighted valve is removed from the valve stem. Press
the button until the light is lit beside the word
“PRESS/STEAM.”
To use the
cooker in
the “
Steam
” mode, do not place the weighted knob on the valve stem.
