Step 5:
Place pot with liquid on cooker. The retaining ring allows
placement of a 14.5" (36.8 cm) diameter pot. Any pot larger
than the retaining ring will rest on the retaining ring of cooker.
Step 6:
Bring oil or liquid to the desired cooking temperature. For best
results, use a deep fry thermometer to check oil/liquid
temperature. If oil begins to smoke, reduce the flame to avoid
igniting the oil. Never exceed 375°F (190° C).
Step 7:
Use pan/pot with a strainer basket or long handle skimmer to
lower food into hot liquid. Lower food into the pot slowly.
Frozen foods should be thawed to room temperature before
placing in hot liquid. The temperature of liquid will drop when
food is added. Adjust the flame to return to desired cooking
temperature. When the desired temperature is achieved,
reduce the heat to maintain temperature.
WARNING: Frozen food should be completely thawed before
placing in hot oil. Pat food dry before placing in
hot oil. Never add water or food that is dripping
wet to hot oil as this could cause oil to splash and
cause severe burns.
Step 8:
Test food for doneness using a meat thermometer after
removing from hot liquid. Use caution as food will be very hot.
WARNING: Use extreme care when removing food from hot
oil or liquid. Remove food from pot slowly. As
contents may be heavy and oil may drip or
splatter during removal, extra attention must be
used during this process to avoid overturning pot
of hot liquid.
Step 9:
When food is done, turn cooker OFF. Always turn propane tank
valve OFF first, then turn the “T
„
valve OFF.
Step 10:
Allow cooker to cool completely, then follow instructions in
the ”After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance”
sections on page 8 of this manual.
