7. To assemble the tempered glass lid, locate the lid knob packaging.
8. Holding the lid knob on the outside top of the glass lid, align the lid hole with the screw hole.
9. Place the head Phillips screw through the screw hole and the plastic washer on the inside of the lid.
10. Use a large Phillips screw driver to tighten the screw until snug. (See Figure 3.) Do not overtighten.
The glass lid is now ready for use.
11. Before using for the first time, turn the temperature control to 450˚ F and heat empty Electric Skillet
uncovered for approximately 5 minutes. This will ensure the non-stick coating is ready for use. You will
notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear.
12. Turn the temperature control to OFF and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
13. Before cooking in the Electric Skillet for the first time, wash the non-stick Skillet in mild dishwashing soap,
wipe and allow to dry.
Operating Instructions
1. Turn temperature control probe to the OFF position.
2. Plug the temperature control probe securely into Electric Skillet’s control probe socket. Plug cord
into any standard 120V AC wall outlet.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS PLUG CORD INTO SKILLET FIRST, THEN INTO WALL OUTLET.
3. Preheat Electric Skillet for approximately 5 minutes before cooking. To preheat, turn the temperature
control to desired temperature. The indicator light on the temperature control probe will illuminate as
soon as the dial is rotated. The light will go out once the selected temperature has been reached.
4. Add food and cook according to the recipe. Adjust temperature control dial as necessary.
NOTE:
During cooking, the light will go on and off indicating that the Electric Skillet is
maintaining proper temperature.
5. Liquids such as broth, water, etc. may be added to the Electric Skillet during cooking.
6. When cooking has been completed, turn the temperature control to the OFF position. The indicator
light on the temperature control probe will turn off.
7. Unplug cord from wall outlet. Let the Electric Skillet cool completely.
8. Remove temperature control probe from Electric Skillet. Follow the Care & Cleaning Instructions
described in this Owner’s Manual.
Cooking Methods
Fry/Sauté
Add oil, shortening, butter or margarine to Electric Skillet and preheat to 350˚ F. The amount of fat used will
vary accordingly to recipe and type or amount of food to be prepared. Pan-fry (or sauté) food rapidly in the
open Electric Skillet using a small quantity of fat.
NOTE:
When heating oil, always remove the lid. If oil smokes, immediately turn the temperature control
to OFF and allow to cool.
IMPORTANT:
To pan-fry, do not use more than 1 cup of oil. Select a vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying.
Butter and olive oil should only be used to sauté foods on a lower temperature setting.
Pan-Broil
Select a tender (not too thick) cut of beef such as fillet mignon or top sirloin steak. Pan-broiling is best
achieved using high heat in an open skillet with no oil. If a recipe calls for it, use only a small amount of oil
or shortening. (Butter must be used with oil to prevent burning.) Preheat to 450˚ F. Place food in the open,
hot Electric Skillet. Brown food, turning often. Remove excess fat as it accumulates.
Braise
Add a small quantity of fat to the Electric Skillet and preheat to 400˚ F. Sear food in hot fat until browned
on all sides. Add specified amount of liquid, cover and turn temperature control dial down to 300˚ F, just
until the indicator light goes out (simmer point). Cook as specified in recipe, or until food is tender.
Check during cooking and add more liquid as necessary. DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.
Simmer
Add oil, shortening, butter or margarine to Electric Skillet and preheat to desired temperature. If required,
brown food on all sides. Add liquid or make a sauce as directed in recipe. With the temperature control set
to 300˚ F - 350˚ F, bring liquid to a boil. Turn temperature control dial down just until indicator light goes out.
This is the simmer point. Cover. Simmer food for the directed length of time or until food is done.
Check periodically during cooking and add more liquid as necessary. DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.
Steam
Place a small amount of water in the bottom of Electric Skillet. Add vegetables or other foods and cover.
Turn temperature control dial to 300˚ F and steam food until done. Check often, adding more water as necessary.
DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.
