Searing - 500°F / SEAR
Use to quickly brown meats at high temperature while sealing in the meat’s juices.
When preheated to this setting, the skillet will retain this temperature for 3 minutes.
If longer searing is needed, press the SEAR button on the digital control probe.
USING ThE SEAR FUNCTION
This unique feature allows you to sear meats, fish, vegetables and fruits for up to 3
minutes at a high temperature and then automatically lowers the temperature to
the original setting to continue cooking.
1. Begin preheating by setting your desired regular cooking temperature.
2. Press the SEAR button on the digital control probe to raise the temperature in
the skillet to 500ºF. The light next to SEAR on the temperature control probe will
begin flashing.
3. When the skillet has reached the SEAR temperature, the light next to SEAR will
become constant. It will hold that temperature for approximately 3 minutes.
Note:
It is not necessary to wait for the skillet to heat to the preset temperature
before selecting SEAR.
4. Carefully place food to be seared into the skillet. Sear the food on each side for
about 1½ minutes.
5. After about 3 minutes the temperature on the digital control probe will change
to the preset temperature initially selected. (For example, if you select 350ºF and
then SEAR, the skillet will return to 350ºF after the searing function is complete.)
Note:
You can turn off SEAR by pressing the
▼
button. The skillet will automatically
revert to the preset temperature.
6. If you have more food to sear, press the SEAR button again and follow steps 2
through 5.
7. When finished searing, you can add more food and continue cooking at your
regular temperature or press the ON/OFF button and unplug the appliance if you
are finished using the skillet.
