Owners' Resources

• Before you start cooking, please wash your cookware with all with 1 cup of white vinegar, water and dish soap before using.

• Daily cleaning with soap and water after use might be enough, but if your cookware discolors or has burnt particles in it, use a small bit of cleaner mixed with water to make a paste and rub it with a dry towel on the inside of your cookware in a circular motion and it will remove it.

• The small plastic scraper is very helpful in removing particles also. I didn't think much of it when I first received my cookware, but now, I can't live without it.

• Scotch Brite Steel Pads make clean up a breeze (only use them on the inside of your cookware as the outside has a polished finish).

• Use metal on metal (a metal spatula works best) when cooking. Never use plastic or silicone and don't be afraid to scrape the bottom of the pan. It will not damage or hurt the cookware's performance. Inside scratches are normal and just shows that you are cooking!!!

• Side Handles and plastic lid handles are not recommended for the oven or dishwasher.

• If you burn something and can't get it off, there is a way! Spray with oven cleaner and allow to sit outside for a few hours. I have never had to do this yet but atleast I know there is help:).

• Electric skillet and rice cooker are submersible in water BUT not when hot. Let the cool completely as there is an oil core inside and will cause damage.

REMEMBER- using this system does have a learning curve! I am here to help you because the benefits are HUGE!! Your investment in your health is about to pay off!

One suggestion: Donate or sell your old cookware when your new cookware arrives. This way, you CAN'T fall back into your old habits. You have been cooking the traditional way your entire life, it will take time to learn the best way.

• Using your cookware allows you retain nutrition by cooking in a semi-vacuum that speeds up the cooking process at lower temperatures. There won’t be a need to stir your food and it helps decrease oxidation.

• Make sure the lid is free of food particles so the lid creates a seal.

If you break the seal, turn heat to medium and allow the valve to click for 40 seconds, if lid is hot to the touch, then turn to low and continue cooking.

• If your lid doesn't click, give it a spin and it will probably start clicking.

• Vegetables at a high heat may allow a nutritional loss of up to 93%. Nutrition is lost at temperatures over 185 degrees F. Low heat and short cooking time is best!

• Because of the full body construction, everything cooks evenly and the heat is efficiently distributed. There is no need to ever heat on high.

• 2/3 full is optimal for the vapo-valve to work properly. Use the correct size for the job.

• Do not over stuff pan as the vessel is a mini convection oven and needs a bit of space on top to circulate heat and cook on bottom, sides and top at the same temperature.

• FYI- 300-350 F is medium heat (low to medium heat on a gas stove). 200 F is low (or the lowest of the low on your gas stove).

• Because the lid seals, there is a very minimal evaporation and therefore you can cook with a lot less water.

• Grains and beans will still need water in order to cook because they are dehydrated.

• Vegetables that are dry such as broccoli, yams/potatoes are going to need a few tablespoons of water.

• Water can still evaporate if the temperature is not turned down and the valve continues to click.

• Preheat skillet on medium. Place water drops in the pan. If they dance and not sizzle, the pan is ready.

• If your protein or mix has fat in it, there is no need to add oil. Otherwise, spray or use a teaspoon of oil. For example, for chicken thighs, there is no need to add oil, but for chicken breast you should add oil.

• Wait until the pan and protein create a crispy outer layer and it will be a breeze to flip and it won't stick.

• Hard boiled and soft boiled: Add 2 Tbsp of water, set to 300 degrees F (or medium), and cover. After it clicks, set temp to low for 8 minutes for hard-boiled. For soft boiled, 6 minutes depending on your taste. Cool in water and peel. It will take a few tries to see how individuals like eggs cooked..

• Scrambled: Whisk eggs (add a bit of water if desired) and add to preheated pan. Scrape with metal spatula and remove from the pan just before finishing the cooking process.

• Frying: Preheat. Crack egg and fry on one side. Release from pan by sliding metal spatula underneath. Flip and turn or cover and add tablespoon of water to the pan and cover until the egg is cooked.

• For sunny side up egg, follow directions above and then add a teaspoon of water and cover.

• REMEMBER TO PREHEAT!

Preheat the pan to 450 degrees F, cook 10 minutes each side. Place lid ajar to allow steam to be released. (Can cook frozen also, about 15 minutes each side instead).

OR Preheat pan to 450 degrees F, cook 10-15 minutes and flip. Then add vegetables and place lid on completely, when valve clicks, set temperature to 200, minimum 10 minutes.

Example(Broccoli):

1. Add broccoli to the saucepan, 2 Tbsp of water and cook at 300 degrees F with lid on. When vapo-valve clicks after 30 seconds, turn to 200 degrees F, and finish cooking in less than 5 minutes. (try to fill pan ⅔ full if possible).

2. Potatoes- Add a Thumbnail size of water. Either whole potatoes of cut with processor, fill pan minimum ⅔ full (skin on). Cover and Cook at medium click then low (make sure lid is hot before turning to low). Cut potatoes will take less time (10-15 minutes), baked potatoes (depending on size) will take longer (20-25min)

Add 2 teaspoons of coconut oil to the Electric Skillet and place popcorn kernels evenly on the bottom. Turn EOC to 435 degrees F and set a timer for 10 minutes, cover. In between the 10 minutes, I like to shake the skillet a bit. Done!

All cookware is oven safe but remove the handles and lid handles if you place in the oven. Preheat "roaster" on medium heat. Test temperature with "dancing water". The water must roll in beds without sizzling. If the water sizzles metal inst preheated enough and meat will stick. Pat dry meat and plan in roasting pan and press firmly to ensure even searing. Place cover on the top but ajar so it browns. Once meat lossends for the surface flip over and seal lid. When valve clicks, turn to low. Add vegetables (30-40 minutes) depending on what cut of meat you are cooking. Remember to turn temp back up to medium after "breaking the seal" or adding food, so temperature can rise back up to 185F. Cooking time 15 minutes/lb for rare, 20 minutes for well and add 10 minutes a/ lb if frozen. Use this same rule of thumb with cooking in the rice cooker, stove top or oven.

300 degrees F for 15 minutes if using dough. (Lid sealed)

or

400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes if pre cooked pizza crust (lid sealed)

1. Preheat EOC to 200 degrees F and spray the pan with avocado cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl combine flour, baking agents, salt, and spices. Next, add sugar and mix. Then add oil, eggs, vanilla, and etc. Whisk until well combined.

3. Place in EOC and turn to 300 degrees F. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.

• Also you can use cornbread recipe/box, brownie mix, or a small cake mix that fits a 9X9 pan or is equivalent to 1 ½ - 2 cup flour mix. Preheat to 200 degrees F and then turn to 300 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes, covered. Set timer and EOC will shut off when complete. This is one of my favorite things to make and use! The oven savings is HUGE!!

When reheating leftovers that are not in a liquid form, you will need to add a little but of water to rehydrate the food enough to activate the vapo valve and create a vacuum seal (otherwise the food will stick. Medium- click - low.
