BAKING:
Pancakes and French toast can be baked directly in the skillet without the cover. Upside-down-cakes can be baked
directly in the skillet with the cover on. Also, cake batters can be placed in baking pans and placed on a rack in the skillet
and baked with the cover in place. Because the top of a cake will not brown, don’t judge doneness by the color. Instead use
another method specified in your recipe, such as using a toothpick or pushing down in the center to determine when the
food is done. To compensate for the lack of browning on top of baked goods, cover them with glazes, toppings, or frosting.
STIR FRYING:
The benefit of this method is its speed and the resulting flavor of the food. during stir-frying, food is con-
tinually tossed or stirred to ensure the food is evenly exposed to heat. This skillet works well for stir frying because it has a
fast and hot preheat and good heat retention. Stir-frying is best accomplished at 350° to 400°.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash skillet in hot, soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly, or wash skillet

Note:
If you choose to wash the skillet in a dishwasher,
the aluminum bottom of the skillet will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwashing detergent.
Food residue may be removed from skillet by scrubbing in a circular motion with a nylon mesh cleaning pad, such as Scotch-
Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge, or a stainless steel scouring pad.
Helpful Hint:
For quick, effective and easy cleaning that virtually eliminates scrubbing, use the following method: Pour
enough water into the emptied skillet to cover food residue. Cover and turn Control Master

heat control to 250°. Bring water
to a boil and while water is boiling, scrape the skillet with a wooden or plastic spatula until the food is loosened. Remove
heat control and wash skillet in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
If the cooking surface has mottling, stubborn, brown or tacky food residue, or if the skillet has developed straw colored or
rainbow discoloration as a result of prolonged exposure to high heat, use a powdered cleanser without chlorine or bleach,
such as Bar Keepers Friend* cleanser and polish or Cameo* copper, brass, & porcelain cleaner. Moisten the skillet with wa-
ter. shake a film of cleaner over the cooking surface. using a nylon mesh cleaning pad such as scotch-Brite* Multi-purpose

Overtightening can result in stripping of the screw or cracking of the base and the supporting spacer.
