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.
When removing a lift-off cover:
a.
Firmly grasp the handle, and lift the rear edge (farthest from
operator) 1-2” (3-5 cm) to allow steam and water vapor to escape.
Wait 2-3 seconds.
b.
Tilt cover to 45-60° angle to allow any hot condensate or product
to roll off cover back into kettle.
c.
Remove cover, ensuring that remaining hot condensate or product
does not drip on operator, floor or work surfaces.
d.
Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-the way surface, or
return to kettle.

COVER IN PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE
