Turn the temperature control dial
to 300º F. The indicator light will
illuminate. When preparing soup
or stew, allow extra time for it to
simmer. This will allow avors to
fully blend and meat to become
more tender.
When cooking has nished, turn
the temperature control dial to
the “OFF” position and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.
During operation, the indicator light
will turn off and on once the selected
temperature is reached to maintain
temperature.
NOTE
• The 3-in-1 Grillet™ functions similar to a high slow cooker. For
all recipes, follow high slow cook instructions to ensure best
results.
• When adding liquid use half broth, half water for best avor.
• To thicken stew, mix in ¼ cup of our with enough water to form a
thin paste. Gradually add it to the stew, stirring until thickened.
• If using fresh parsley or herbs in your recipe, add them in the last few
moments of cooking to preserve avor.
• Canned stew tomatoes or water with bouillon seasoning and spices
added make great stock starters for soups and stews.

NOTE CAUTION
• During and after use, the glass cooking lid and
the nonstick pot will become very hot. Be sure
to use the handle and wear protective oven
mitts or gloves.
• To prevent food borne illness, always make
sure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
• Wooden, heat-proof plastic and nylon utensils are recommended. Metal utensils may scratch
the nonstick surface.
• All vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and washed before steaming. Thin, leafy
vegetables such as cabbage do not require as much water as root vegetables, such as carrots.
• Do not remove lid during steaming, as steam will escape and the cooking time will be
extended.
• Food can be placed directly on the grilled surface of the pot for steaming.
