SECTION 3. OPERATION

The ST-10 Pressureless Cooker is a two compartment unit. Each compartment holds five 12” x 20” x 2-1/2” or three 12” x 20” 

x 4” pans. This unit enables the cook to prepare foods close to the time of service. The cooking ntimes given are timer settings 

and should be set on a preheated compartment. There is a thermostatic time delay in each compartment that adjusts the total 

time depending on the temperature and amount of the food. Therefore the total time will be greater than the timer setting. At 

the end of the timer cooking cycle the bell will ring, steam will stop flowing and the food can be removed.
