C. Use of 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. It helps retain heat and reduces the heat and
humidity in the kitchen. A cover can reduce some product cook times
and help maintain the temperature, color and texture of products 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 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.
