Electric hot pot and skillet instructions

Thanks for renting a hot pot with Green Gooding.

Here are some instructions to help you use safely this appliance.

1. Choose a suitable location

Select a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface for placing your electric skillet. Ensure that there is enough space around it for easy access and ventilation.

2.Assemble the skillet

Place the cooking pot on top of the heating (ie the base) element. Ensure that all parts are properly aligned and securely attached.

3.Connect the power cord

Plug in the power cord of the electric skillet into a grounded electrical outlet. Make sure the cord is not tangled or stretched and that it is placed in a way that avoids tripping hazards.

4.Preheat the skillet

Turn on the hot pot electric skillet and preheat it according to the instructions provided. Use the temperature control settings that to set the desired preheating temperature.

5.Cooking

Add the hot pot broth: Fill the hot pot electric skillet with your preferred hot pot broth. You can use a ready-made broth or make your own by combining broth or stock with aromatic ingredients like ginger, garlic, and spices. Fill the skillet with enough broth to cover the ingredients, but be careful not to overfill it as the liquid will expand when heated.

Adjust the temperature: Adjust the temperature setting on the electric skillet according to your recipe. Start by setting the heat to medium or high until the broth begins to simmer.

Monitor the heat: Keep an eye on the heat level throughout the cooking process. Adjust the temperature if necessary to maintain a steady simmer. Remember, you don’t want the broth to boil vigorously, as it can cause the ingredients to overcook or become mushy.

Add ingredients to the hot pot: Start by adding a small portion of the prepared ingredients to the simmering hot pot broth. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Allow the ingredients to cook in the simmering broth for a few minutes, depending on their cooking time. Meats and seafood generally cook quickly, while vegetables and noodles may take a bit longer. Cook the ingredients until they reach your desired level.

Scoop out cooked ingredients: Once the ingredients are cooked, use the strainer, or hot to retrieve them from the hot pot broth.

Continue cooking and serving: Repeat the process of adding uncooked ingredients to the hot pot broth, cooking them, and scooping them out as they are done. This allows for a continuous cooking and serving experience throughout the meal.

6. Turn the hot pot off

Once the meal is complete, turn the skillet off and allow the hot pot electric skillet to cool down completely before cleaning it.

7. Cleaning

Before cleaning, make sure the hot pot electric skillet has completely cooled down. Remove the cooking pot and dispose safely of content in a sink or toilet bowl. Use a soft sponge or cloth and mild dish soap to hand wash the skillet and its components. For stubborn food stains or residue, do not hesitate to soak the cooking pot in warm soapy water for a few minutes before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or abrasive materials that can damage the non-stick coating. Use a clean towel or air dry the components to prevent any moisture.
