BOILING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
If too much water or oil is inside the cooking vessel, it is possible for spillovers to occur when adding
a basket filled with food product, or during a rolling boil. Spillover of hot liquids can cause severe
bur
ns and property damage. Carefully read and follow these instructions.
1. Follow instructions to properly assemble and position the cooker. Perform gas leak test, and water
level deter
mination.
2. Add the determined amount of water into the cooking vessel.
3. Light the cooker by following Lighting Instructions in this manual.
4. Depending on the size of cooking vessel and volume of water used, heat up time can range from
15 to 45 minutes. Covering the cooking vessel with a lid will accelerate water heat up time to the
boiling point.
5. Once water has achieved a rolling boil, reduce cooker flame as low as possible by turning
regulator valve as directed.
6. Using an insulated mitt, carefully remove the lid.
CAUTION
Open far side of the lid first so that steam and heat escape away from you.
Typically 2 to 3 inches of water is used for steaming food products. Use cooking vessel (stockpots) having
perforated baskets that are elevated above the water level. Be certain your stockpot has a vented lid
for steaming.
CAUTION
Never allow all water to evaporate completely when steaming as the heat from this cooker can melt
a hole in the cooking vessel.
STEAMING WATER LEVEL DETERMINATION:
7. Using an insulated mitt, carefully lower the food basket into th
e boiling water, then place lid back
on the cooking vessel. NOTE: Immersing the food basket will quickly reduce water temperature.
8. Increase cooker flame to desired level by turning regulator control knob as directed. It will take
several minutes for water temperature to increase and achieve a rolling boil.
CAUTION
Once a rolling boil is achieved, reduce cooker flame to maintain the desired level. Lowering cooker
flame reduces chance of a boil over during cooking.
