How Does it Work?
The induction cooking process heats a cooking
vessel through the use of magnetic induction instead
of by thermal conduction from an open flame or
an electrical heating element. Because inductive
heating directly heats the vessel, rapid increases in
temperature can be achieved and maintained.
When magnetic metal-based cookware is used, the
magnetic field transfers to the bottom surface of the
cookware, resulting in high heat sufficient for cooking.
The induction cooking method has heating
performance comparable to that of a gas burner, but
it is significantly more energy efficient.
In order for the process to work, a cooking vessel
must be made of or contain a magnetic metal such as
cast iron or some stainless steel.
Smart Cooker
Perfect Cooking Results
Maintaining specific cooking time and temperature is as important to a good recipe as the ingredients. With
the Copper Chef Smart Cooker, you can set and adjust the temperature and time to suit your recipe.
No more constant adjusting of the flame height and no more guesswork. The Copper Chef Smart Cooker
delivers perfect cooking results without the use of dangerous open flames, exposed electrical elements,
excessive heat, or wasted energy.

Recommendations & Tips
Re-Season Your Pan: With repeated use and
washing, the characteristics of ceramic coating may
fade, but you may revitalize the coating by
re-seasoning your cookware:
1. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to a clean
paper towel. Rub the oiled paper towel all over the
entire INTERIOR surface of the pan.
2. Put the pan over low heat on the stove top for 30 secs.
to 1 min., removing the pan if the oil starts to smoke.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
4. Once the pan has cooled, use a clean cloth or
paper towel to wipe away any excess oil. Then, your
pan is ready to use.
For best results, re-season your pan after a few
uses or after cleaning it in a dishwasher.
Proper Cooking Utensils: To prevent scratching
the coating, we recommend using nonmetal utensils
with your Copper Chef cookware. Do not cut food
on the Copper Chef cookware using sharp utensils,
such as forks, knives, mashers, or whisks, that can
scratch the cooking surface.
Removing Stubborn Residue: When food is
burned on the Copper Chef cookware, a stubborn
black residue may remain. If regular cleaning does
not loosen it, soak in hot water and 1 tbsp. of
non-lemon detergent for 15 mins. Allow the water to
become lukewarm before you drain and rinse. Wipe
with a plastic spatula or nonabrasive sponge to
loosen residue. Repeat if necessary.

Cooking Charts & Tips
Sous Vide
What is Sous Vide?
In the Sous Vide method of
cooking, food is sealed inside a
plastic bag immersed in water and
cooked at a lower temperature.
Sous Vide allows for greater
control and evenly cooked results.
The Sous Vide method holds food
at the perfect level of doneness for
much longer than regular cooking
methods would allow.
What are the basic steps?
The food must be in a sealed
plastic bag or vacuum-sealed bag.
Submerge pouches into the water
bath after the liquid has reached
your desired temperature.
Cook for at least the minimum amount
of time called for in your recipe.
Remove each pouch carefully
from the water bath. Note: Meat,
poultry, or fish can be seared in a
hot pan to create a crisp surface
immediately before serving.
The Sous Vide Cooking Cycle
Place the Copper Chef Pan into the
Smart Cooker. Fill the Pan with water.
Turn the Program Dial to Sous Vide.
Adjust the cooking time and
temperature and then press the
Program Dial to confirm.
Cover with the Glass Lid.
The timer will begin once the water
reaches the desired temperature,
and the Unit will beep. Now, you
can add your sealed bags. The Unit
will beep once the timer is done.
CAUTION: Remove hot cooking
bags with plastic tongs to prevent
piercing and burns from hot water.
Use oven mitts.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use any type of pan to cook on an induction system?
No, only pans that are induction cook top ready. That means items made of glass, copper, ceramic, or aluminum
will not work. Cast iron, enamelware, and some stainless steel will work.
2. How do I know if my cookware is induction compatible?
A great test is the magnetic test. Take any magnet and see if it is attracted to the base of your pan. Some pans
are advertised as induction capable. You might want to go shopping with your magnet.
3. Does induction cooking require special techniques?
You will need to familiarize yourself with the settings used for different purposes. A common problem for new
users is that in the beginning they may overcook food as they don’t realize how much heat is generated so
quickly. If you are new to induction cooking, we recommend practicing by boiling a pot of water. Repeat this
several times with different levels of water on different heat settings. You will soon get a good feel for how
quickly the pot heats up. This absolutely can change the way you cook – if you are busy and you need to attend
to another task, you should set the Unit to OFF until you return. When you return, the Pan heats up instantly.
4. Does the Unit get hot?
The Smart Cooker itself barely gets warm, except directly beneath the cooking vessel. As soon as the cooking
vessel is removed from the Smart Cooker the element turns off and automatically cools down. However, the
surface just beneath the pot takes a bit more time to cool… avoid touching it.

6.8-Quart Copper Chef™ Smart Cooker 17
Cleaning & Storage
Easy Maintenance
• When cleaning the Copper Chef Pan, allow the Pan to cool completely before washing. Never immerse hot
cookware in water as this will cause irreparable warping.
• Cleaning your Copper Chef Pan is quick and easy. After each use, wash it in hot water with mild soap or dish
detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel. If any food particles remain, fill
the cookware with hot water and liquid dish detergent, soak until the water becomes lukewarm, and use a
sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles.
• Do not use steel wool or metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches.
• Hand wash the Unit Base. DO NOT submerge the base in water. To hand wash, wipe the inside and outside
of the Unit Base with a clean, moist cloth.
• Make sure that the device is properly cleaned before storing it in a dry place.
Dishwasher Safe
Although the entire Copper Chef Collection is dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning by hand. Hand-
washing preserves the life of the cookware and helps to maintain its appearance. If cleaning in the dishwasher,
follow the suggested guidelines:
1. Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and flatware may mark the surface of your Copper Chef cookware.
2. Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware. It can be abrasive to Copper Chef’s nonstick coating.
3. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
4. Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any surface.
Note: Unplug the Magnetic Power Cord prior to cleaning the Copper Chef Smart Cooker. Do not use any
caustic cleaning agents or abrasive scrubbing pads on the Unit.
• To protect yourself from electric shock, NEVER immerse the device, or the Power Cord in water or other liquids.
• DO NOT use any petroleum products, which will damage the outer Unit housing and the Control Panel.
• DO NOT use/store any flammable, acid, or alkaline materials or substances near the device, as this may
reduce the service life of the device and lead to deflagration (fire) when the device is turned on.
• DO NOT stack heavy objects on top of the Unit. Excessive weight could possibly damage the Unit.
