TIPS FOR CARING FOR POTS
It is not necessary to season aluminum pots before cooking with them. Wash with a liquid dish washing
detergent and towel dry.
After cooking, wash aluminum pots and fry pans in hot, sudsy detergent. Do not immerse the wire
assembly components into water. If grease or black soot has cooked to the outside of the pot while
cooking with your outdoor cooker, scrub the outside of the pot with a steel wool scouring pad.
DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER OR ANY CHEMICAL CLEANER ON POTS TO REMOVE
GREASE OR SOOT. OVEN/CHEMICAL CLEANERS WILL CAUSE THE FINISH TO BECOME DULL
OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO WIRE ASSEMBLY.
If food remains stuck in the pan after cooking, add hot water and let soak. Then scrub the pan with
soap and steel wool to loosen the food.
If hard water causes darkening or the interior of your pot, fill to the level of the darkened area with a
water and cream of tartar or vinegar solution (mixed with the concentration of three cups of water to
one tablespoon cream of tartar, or vinegar). Boil five to ten minutes.
NEVER PLACE AN EMPTY POT ON A LIT COOKER. A hole will be burned in the bottom of the pot.
Discoloration, scratching, and dimpling may occur with the use of pots on outdoor cookers. This does
not affect the performance of the pot.
Do not store used oil inside your pot. The salt used in cooking can corrode the pot causing
the pot to leak. Wash the pot after each use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING OIL
In our instructions we suggest peanut oil for deep frying. While this is an excellent choice, any good liquid
vegetable oil may be substituted.
SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING USED COOKING OIL:
After initial use, let the oil cool. While slightly warm, filter out particles before storing in original container or
similar sturdy plastic or glass container.This can be accomplished by using filter paper (coffee filters) or a clean
cloth (dish towel). Never pour hot oil into a container. For best results store oil in a cool place. It can be reused
within 30 days. Discard after second use or when the flavor of reheated oil becomes objectionable to taste.
Helpful Hint: Try frying a batch of french fried potatoes after frying your turkey, chicken or fish. This aids in
improving the flavor of the oil for the next use.
