STEAMING WATER LEVEL DETERMINATION:
Typically 2 to 3 inches of water is used for steaming food products. Use cooking vessel (stockpots) having strainer baskets
that are elevated above the water level. Be certain your stockpot has a vented lid for steaming.
BOILING: WATER LEVEL DETERMINATION
1. Place the food product in the strainer basket.
2. Place the food product and strainer basket into the empty vessel.
3. Add water into the vessel until the food product is completely submerged. There must be a minimum of 3 inches between
the water level and top of the vessel.
4. Remove the food product from the vessel. The remaining water level indicates the amount needed to cook the food product.
Typically
, the amount of water needed for boiling is one-third full or less.
CAUTION
Never allow all water to evaporate completely when steaming as the heat from this cooker can melt a hole
in the cooking vessel.
For use with cooking vessels that have and do not have Maximum Fill Line
Do not use a cooking vessel with strainer baskets, larger than 100-quart for boiling or 36-quart for fyring on this cooker.
Do not use a cooking vessel smaller that 12" diameter on this cooker.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER AMOUNT OF LIQUID FOR COOKING
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.
7. Using an insulated mitt, carefully lower the food basket into the 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 valve as directed. It will take several minutes for water
temperature to increase and achieve a rolling boil.
CAUTION
Open far side of the lid first so that steam and heat escape away from you.
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.
BOILING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Follow instructions to properly assemble and position the cooker. Per
form gas leak test, and water level determination.
2. Add the determined amount of water into the cooking vessel.
3. Light the cooker, then increase flame height by turning control valve as directed. NOTE: Spend a few moments to adjust
the flame up and down to become familiar with flame adjustment process.
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 lid.
