ROASTING
Because of variations in Skillets and cuts of meat and poultry, it is important to use a meat
thermometer when roasting to accurately determine internal temperature. Insert
thermometer into the thickest piece of meat or poultry, making sure it does not touch a
bone or any part of the Skillet and roast according to the temperature on the thermometer.

DEEP FRYING GUIDE
Use about 1 quart vegetable oil (946 ml) in the Skillet for deep frying. (This is the
maximum amount of oil that should be used for deep fat frying.) Turn the Temperature
Control to the highest setting with vegetable oil in the Skillet. Do not add food until the
Signal Light goes out.
CAUTION: When oil is heated to a high temperature, flammable gases are given off. Do
not expose a flame to these gases as they could ignite and cause a fire hazard. To
avoid eruption, burns, and fire hazards, never cover the Skillet when heating oil.
Additional deep frying tips:
1. Food should be uniform in size.
2. Whenever possible, let refrigerated foods stand at room temperature for 30 minutes
before frying. For frozen foods, remove from freezer just before frying.
Approx.
Time/Mins. Directions
15-25 Place in COLD Skillet; turn carefully and
often until golden brown and well done,
but not dry. Links take slightly longer
than patties.
3-8 Slash edges to prevent curling if
necessary. Add steaks and cook to
desired doneness. Thicker steaks take
slightly longer.
Directions
Preheat Skillet at 400°F (204°C). Brown meat
on all sides. Drain accumulated fat from Skillet.
Reduce temperature to 300°F (154°C). Cover,
with vent closed. Cook, turning every
until meat is tender. Save drippings for gravy
if desired. For less crisp exterior, add
water to Skillet as needed.
Preheat Skillet to 375°F (191°C). Brown
chicken on all sides. Reduce temperature to
300°F (154°C). Drain off accumulated fat, if
desired. Cover Skillet, with vent open. Halfway
through cooking period, turn chicken and
roast until well done.
Preheat Skillet at 400°F (204°C); brown roast
on all sides. Reduce temperature to 300°F
(154°C). Drain off accumulated fat. Position
roast fat side down in Skillet. Cover, with vent
open. Turn about every 1 ⁄ hour during cooking.

3. Dry excess moisture from foods with paper towels before frying. If foods are frozen,
remove large ice crystals. This reduces oil spattering.
4. Add food to hot oil carefully to prevent spatter. Do not overfill Pan.
5. Do not use plastic utensils in hot cooking oil — they will melt.
6. Use a good quality vegetable oil for frying. Do not use butter, bacon fat, lard,
margarine, or olive oil since these fats tend to smoke and/or burn easily.
7. To help keep the oil from dropping below proper frying temperature, add food to oil in
small batches and wait 3-5 minutes before frying additional batches.
8. Use the foods below as a guide. If frying other foods, experiment to find the best cooking
time.
9. Allow fried foods to drain on paper toweling before serving.
