Common Accessories
1. Lift-Off or Counterbalanced Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional cover
can speed up the heating of water and food
products. A cover helps retain heat and
reduces the heat and humidity released into
the kitchen. Using a cover can reduce some
product cook times and help maintain the
temperature, color and texture of products
being held or simmered for longer periods.
Be sure the handle is secure on the lift-off
cover before using. ALWAYS use the handle
to place or remove cover from the kettle.
Wear protective oven mitts and a protective
apron.
When putting a lift-off cover on the kettle,
position it on top of kettle rim, with its flat
edge facing the pouring lip.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS.
When removing the 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.
CAUTION
DO NOT TILT KETTLE WITH LIFT-OFF
COVER IN PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE
OFF, CAUSING INJURY TO OPERATOR.
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” (6
mm). This includes rice and small pasta
shapes.
Tips For Use.
a) Allow for displacement of the 3 baskets
and product. This may mean only filling
the kettle half way. Test baskets and
product displacement with the kettle
OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN
COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING.
KEEP LIQUIDS AT LEAST 2-3” (5-8 cm)
BELOW THE KETTLE RIM TO ALLOW
CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING
AND SAFE PRODUCT TRANSFER.
