HOW TO:
INTRODUCTION
Before using your new appliance, wash the inside of the pan with
warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Remove the
temperature controller before washing the skillet.
CAUTION: Do not immerse variable temperature control, power
cord or plug in water or any other liquids.
The OSTER® Strain & Pour Electric Skillet is now ready for use.
USING THE OSTER® ELECTRIC SKILLET
1. Place the unit--with the drain spout facing away from you--on a
flat, level, heat-resistant surface, allowing enough space around
the unit for heat to flow without causing damage to walls or
cabinets.
CAUTION: Hot steam escapes through the straining holes and
drain spout during the cooking cycle.
2. Push the temperature controller firmly into its socket found at
the side of the appliance.
3. Make sure the variable temperature control is set to Off and plug
cord into a standard 120 Volt AC outlet.
CAUTION: Always plug temperature control probe into skillet
first, then plug power cord into wall outlet.
4. Set the temperature by turning the knob on the temperature
controller. The indicator light will illuminate. Turn the knob until
the desired temperature is opposite the indicator light. When the
skillet reaches the chosen cooking temperature, the indicator
light will turn off. During cooking, the light will blink on and off,
indicating that the temperature is being maintained. Guidance in
the choice of temperatures is provided later in this book.
5. Do not cook with the Electric Skillet standing on temperature-
sensitive surfaces.
6. For simmering, set the temperature control to 300˚F, wait until
contents boil, then set the temperature controller to WARM.

NOTE: Use only nylon, wood or heatproof plastic cooking
utensils. Do not use metal utensils, as they may scratch the
ceramic surface.
7. When cooking is finished, either turn the variable temperature
control to the Warm setting to keep food at serving temperature
or turn to Off position if ready to serve. The On indicator light will
shut off.
8. To remove the temperature controller, first unplug from the wall
outlet, and then gently remove the variable temperature control
probe from the skillet.
CAUTION: The probe is hot after use. Allow to cool before
handling.
9. Preheating is not required when using this product.
NOTE: During initial use, a slight smoke and/or odor may be
present; this is normal due to the manufacturing process and is no
reason for concern.
