STEAMING INSTRUCTIONS

Use Bayou Classic

stockpots having baskets elevated above the bottom of the vessel.

• Typically 2 to 3 inches of water is used for steaming. Heat up time will be fast so be certain to first have food

in the basket.

• Once boiling is achieved, reduce cooker flame to the lowest setting.

• Using an insulated mitt, carefully lower food basket into the cooking vessel, then cover with lid. (Be certain food

is not touching the water.)

• Leave the cooker flame set low during cooking to maintain a steady boil. Hint: Cooked seafood turns from

translucent to opaque when done.

• When steaming is done, turn off gas to the cooker. Wearing an insulated mitt, carefully lift the lid and remove

food basket from the cooking vessel.

•

Use an insulated mitt when lifting stockpot lid when steaming. Steam escaping through the lid vent under pressure

is invisible and can cause severe burns. Use extreme caution when removing stockpot lid when steaming or boiling.

• Do not allow water to evaporate completely during steaming. The bottom of stockpots will quickly warp if all

water evaporates; even under a low flame. If steaming for a long period of time you will need to occasionally

add water to the stockpot.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS:

There are several different recipes and methods to brew all kinds of beer at home:

A. Malt-Extract/Extract-Only Brewing - recommended for Beginning brewers

B. Specialty Grains - Inter

mediate level

C. Partial Mash - Intermediate level

D. All Grain Sparge - Advanced level

E. Brew-In-A-Bag - Advanced level

This boiling kit was specially designed with home brewing in mind.

Here are few general steps to brewing beer at home:

1. Always read through your brew recipe and the required steps for brewing before you begin.

2. Gather all of the necessary supplies and ingredients.

3. Clean your equipment thoroughly using an unscented cleaner. Any leftover food or old brew ingredients can

spoil a new batch of beer, and previously sanitizing your equipment doesn’t always remove every contaminant.

NOTE: Most brewers do not use their pots for both cooking food and brewing beer. This can cause contamination

and cross-flavoring. Therefore, it is not recommended that this pot be used for both boiling food and brewing

beer (because no one likes the taste of crab beer!).

4. Follow the specific steps required in your brewing recipe. Trial and error will eventually dictate ultimate

temperature settings and steps to achieve your desired flavor.

5. Always remember to sanitize your equipment after you use it.
