INTRODUCTION
SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR NE CZECH COOKER
• Variable Temperature Control
• Removable Power Sour e - for easier cleaning and storage
• Separate Lid Stand - to rest lid on, when removed from pot
while cooking
You can cook almost anything in your Czech Cooker that you
would normally prepare in a conventional oven. The heat source
comes directly through the lid and directs heat throughout the pot. Don’t
forget the lid and the pot can get hot, so please use caution. The
lid and pot are closer to your food than a typically oven. You will
only need 1-2 minutes for the pot to heat up.
As a guide, your Czech Cooker will cook approximately 1 0°C
on the highest Setting (5) to 90°C on the lowest setting (1). For
dishes such as a casserole, you can use a lower heating setting
(3). For simmering and warming adjust the heat setting to (1).
Be creative with your recipes. The Czech Cooker will allow some
unique cooking techniques. You can get bacon sizzling in the pot,
but the lid will keep those oils from splashing and spitting. Try
baking a cake directly in the pot, just add your ingredients and
watch it cook through the viewing window. Once cooled, turn
the pot over and let your cake drop right out because the pot is
coated with a non-stick application.
All of your favorite recipes can be cooked in the Czech Cooker,
but to get you started, we have provided you a few recipes on
the next couple of pages. Try giving the Yorkshire Pudding a test
in your new Czech Cooker, it works great!
