PREPARING FOR FIRST TIME USE
CONDITIONING OF THE BIOCERAMIC™ COATED SKILLET:
Before using your new appliance, wash the inside of the skillet with warm, sudsy
water and dry. When washing the skillet, make sure the temperature controller is
removed. Rub a film of cooking or salad oil all over the Bioceramic™ coating on
the inside of the skillet. Remove any excess oil with a cloth or paper towel.
The OSTER
®
Electric Skillet is now ready for use and it is unnecessary to condition
it again.
USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Push the temperature controller firmly into its socket found at the side of the
appliance. Plug into the appropriate electrical outlet.
2. Set the temperature you want by turning the knob on the temperature controller.
The indicator light will come on. Set the temperature of your choice opposite the
indicator light. When the light goes off, the chosen cooking temperature has been
reached. During cooking, the light will blink on and off indicating the temperature
is being maintained. Guidance in the choice of temperatures is supplied later in
this book.
3. The capacity of your skillet is 3.97 liters / 16.75 cups.
4. It is recommended that you do not cook with the Electric Skillet standing on
temperature sensitive surfaces.
5. For simmering, set the temperature control knob to 150°C/300°F or SIMMER
and wait until the liquid boils. Turn the knob toward the WARM setting. Set the
dial to this point each time SIMMER is specified in a recipe.
6. DO NOT use metal utensils in your Electric Skillet as they may damage the
Bopceramic™ coating. Wood or plastic coated spatulas are best. If you use
plastic tools, make sure they are suitable for use on hot surfaces.
7. To remove the temperature controller, first unplug from the wall outlet, then wrap
your hand around the temperature controller and the quick release latch and
squeeze. The controller will automatically release.
