Griddle/Grill Plate Operation
•Preheat grill/griddle on Medium, then reduce heat if needed.
•It is not necessary to use fats or oils for frying or cooking. Most cooks use butter, fats, or oils for added fl avor and browning;
However, this may reduce or eliminate the advantage of cooking on a non-stick surface
•When cooking bacon and other fatty foods, there may occasionally be a need to drain excess fats from the grease well. Always turn
off the surface burners before draining fats and oils and always drain griddle away from the burners. Be sure to wipe any fats or oils
from the side or bottom before returning griddle to the surface burners.
•Use only plastic, rubber, or wooden spatulas, spoons and forks. DO NOT USE metal tools, as they may scratch or damage the non-stick
surface. Do not use sharp-edged knives or metal ma

•Allow griddle/grill plate and grease to cool before removing.
•No scrubbing or scouring is necessary. After each use, thoroughly wash in hot, soapy water to avoid staining. Rinse and dry

surface and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking performance as well

Thawing Tips
Super conductive aluminum thaws frozen foods by transferring natural heat energy from the air to the frozen food. This
natural phenomenon thaws food without added heat. Unlike microwave defrosting, the thawed food is not partially
cooked with tough, dry edges.
To use the portable grill/griddle as a thawing tray:
1. Place clean, room temperature grill/griddle on the countertop.
2. Remove frozen food from packaging and place on grill/griddle. Flat foods work best.
3. Halfway through the thaw cycle, turn the food over.
4. Once food has thawed, remove and wash grill/griddle.
5. Cook food per instructions.
