The following suggestions will help keep it looking—and -cooking—like new. Remember, good care means longer wear and maximum good -service from any household appliance. - - AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION: - -1. Use correct flame size. A flame which is too high will cause -spattering and spillovers. Also, avoid overfilling utensils. - -2. Before putting utensils into the oven or on a surface burner, be sure -outside of pan is thoroughly clean. - -3. Time cooking operations properly, and use _CORRECT TEMPERATURES_ for -roasting, baking and thermostatic top burner cooking. This will not only -give you better cooking results, but also eliminate the possibility of -spillovers and hard-to-clean pans. - -4. A little care regularly keeps a range like new and is much easier -than waiting until stains are cooked on and a major cleaning job is -necessary. All surfaces can safely be washed with detergent and hot -water. To retain the original appearance, RINSE and wipe surfaces dry -after washing. - -5. To keep the fine porcelain enamel and polished metal finishes free of -scratches, avoid the use of gritty, harsh cleansers and abrasives which -in time take away the shiny new finish. - -6. If acid foods such as fruit juices, vinegar, coffee, tea or milk are -spilled on the range, wipe them off immediately to guard against -permanent discoloration of the finish. - -7. Never place extremely hot utensils on the porcelain finished areas. - - THE POUND OF CURE: - -1. If there is a spillover when the range is warm, wipe off with a dry -cloth or paper towel. After the range is cool, finish cleaning with warm -water and a mild soap, or wash with a solution of 3 tablespoons baking -soda dissolved in 1 quart of warm water. Rinse in clear warm water and -dry with soft cloth. - -2. Never scrape surfaces with a sharp object such as a knife or razor -blade. In most cases, ordinary stains can be removed from the range with -baking soda and a damp cloth. If the stain proves to be stubborn, use a -mild cleanser such as Bon-Ami, Bab-O, or similar cleansers. - -3. In most cases, a damp cloth will wipe the chrome surface clean. Use -any one of the many good chrome cleaners if the stains prove to be -stubborn. - -4. All removable parts (except aluminum) will clean more easily if -soaked in ammonia and hot water (4 tablespoons to 2 quarts) for a few -hours. - -5. If food spills over in the oven, sprinkle with salt to stop smoke and -odor. Clean as soon as finished baking. Failure to do so may result in a -permanently pitted surface. - - - COOK TOP - -BURNERS - -Burners can be wiped off without removing them from the range. However, -they are removable for an occasional thorough washing in a solution of -detergent water. Remove stubborn spots with a damp cloth and baking -soda. They may be placed in an inverted position in a warm oven to be -dried. It is not necessary to boil burners. Be sure to fit burners -securely back into place. - - BURNER PORTS - -To clean top burner ports, use a pipe cleaner which has been dipped in -ammonia or a wire, such as a straightened out paper clip rather than a -toothpick which could break off and further clog the ports. - - THERMOSTATIC SENSING DEVICE - -Cooking is carefree and accurate if the sensing device of the -thermostatic top burner is kept clean. Simply wipe with a damp cloth or -remove stubborn spots with SOAPLESS, fine steel wool. Generally the -sensing devices do not lift out, however, there are exceptions. Refer to -your range manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions. - - BURNER BOWLS, GRIDS, DRIP TRAYS - -Burner bowls, grids and drip trays can be removed for washing at the -sink. Wash with mild detergent and hot water. If especially soiled, soak -in a solution of hot ammonia water. Remove stubborn spots with a damp -cloth and baking soda. - - BURNER CONTROL - -Burner control knobs are removable. Be sure control is in OFF position -before removing knob. If knobs do not remove easily, slide a dish towel -or cloth under the edge of the knob; encircle the knob and pull. Wash -with mild detergent and hot water. - - - OVEN - -OVEN INTERIOR - -The oven interior and all removable parts clean much easier if a small -dish of undiluted household ammonia is allowed to stand in it for -several hours or overnight prior to washing. In most cases, cleaning can -be completed with hot soapy water. Baking soda or a mild cleanser can be -used on stubborn spots and stains. Soap filled steel wool pads may be -used if well moistened and used gently. - -Teflon-lined oven: Refer to range manufacturer’s instruction booklet. - - OVEN WINDOWS - -Oven windows are not removable in most ranges. Wash in place with mild -detergent and water or a solution of baking soda and water (3 -tablespoons to 1 cup water). - - OVEN DOORS - -Oven doors are removable on some ranges for easy cleaning. Also, once -removed, access to the oven interior is easy. Refer to your range -manufacturer’s manual regarding this feature. - - OVEN BOTTOM - -The oven bottom and oven racks are easily removed for cleaning at the -sink in mild detergent and water. If necessary, clean with fine steel -wool pads, rinse well and wipe dry. Be sure to replace in correct -position for even heat distribution. - - MEAT PROBE - -A meat probe should not be immersed in water when cleaned. Wipe with a -damp cloth. - -A meat probe is a delicate instrument which should not be abused. When -disconnecting the probe after cooking, grasp the plug on one end and the -solid part of the probe on the other end. DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLE AT -ANY TIME. - -Also, the meat probe should not be stored in the oven or other parts of -the range. Since the probe could become defective if it is exposed to -350 degrees or over, it should be stored at room temperature. - - - BROILER - -Broiler pan cleaning can be minimized by removing the broiler pan BEFORE -preheating broiler compartment. Cold food placed on a hot broiler pan -will stick before it is placed in the broiler. After food is cooked, -remove it AND the broiler pan from broiler compartment. Drippings will -bake on the broiler pan if left in a hot broiler compartment. As soon as -food has been removed from the broiler pan pour off grease. Sprinkle pan -and insert with soap powder or liquid detergent and cover with a hot -damp cloth or wet paper towels. Drippings will steam and loosen while -the meal is being served. A soapy fine steel wool pad may also be used -if needed. Do not cover broiler pan insert with aluminum foil during -broiling. Grease MUST be allowed to drip through the broiler pan insert -into the lower pan away from the heat. - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - - - ACCESSORIES - -ROTISSERIE - -Rotisserie with burner above food: Use broiler pan without insert as a -drip pan. Keep at least ½ inch of water in pan to eliminate spattering -of basting sauces and to aid cleaning. - -Rotisserie with indirect heat from oven burner: Water in the rotisserie -pan is not recommended when using this type rotisserie. Since the water -is between the food and the burner—there is too much steaming. Instead, -crumple aluminum foil and place in rotisserie pan to catch drippings and -help reduce spattering. - - - GRIDDLE - -To keep a gleaming griddle, turn off the flame when cooking is finished -and wipe the surface with paper towels. When cool, wash with hot soapy -water (not synthetic detergent), rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid using a -soda or alkaline cleaner. - -To preserve the finish of the griddle never scrape it with knives or -other sharp objects. - -Overheating or sudden temperature changes can damage a griddle. - -Teflon: Refer to manufacturer’s instructions. - - - LIGHT BULBS - -If oven light needs replacing, buy a 40 watt Heat Resistant lamp (not an -ordinary light bulb). Turn light switch to OFF position, cover old lamp -with a dry cloth and unscrew; replace with new one. When cleaning, do -not touch hot lamp with a wet cloth; it may break. - - -CLEANING CHART - - MATERIAL OR FINISH RANGE PART TO REMOVE SOIL - - Porcelain Enamel Cook Top Detergent OR baking soda (3 - Door and Side Panels Tbsp. to 1 qt. water) and hot - Burner Grids water - Burner Bowls - Oven Interiors Detergent OR ammonia and hot - Broiler Pan water - Broiler Compartment Soap filled steel wool pad - Interior with plenty of water - Oven Racks and Ammonia Solution (½ C. to 1 - Guides gal. water) - Chrome Burner Bowls Detergent and hot water or - Oven Interior chrome polish - Handles - Aluminum Burner Caps Detergent and hot water, - Trim soapy fine steel wool pad, or - aluminum cleaner.

Heat is supplied instantly, and there is -no leftover heat when the burner is turned off. To use the burner, turn -the burner control until the burner ignites; then turn to adjust the -flame size. Some burners have audible “clicks” to indicate heat -settings. - - FLAME SIZE - -Correct flame size is determined by pan size, pan material, what you are -cooking and whether you are cooking with liquid. Even when cooking in a -liquid or with a pan which conducts heat well, you may want to lower the -flame to adjust for pan size (see sketch below). The flame should never -extend beyond the outer edge of the utensil. Any higher flame is wasted -heat. - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -For all cooking in aluminum utensils or for cooking in liquid in other -utensils, adjust the flame so it touches the pan about ½ inch from the -outer edge. - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -For non-aluminum pans (unless you are cooking in liquid) adjust the -flame so it is about half the diameter of the pan. - -Foods cook just as quickly at a gentle boil as at a rapid rolling -boil—in both cases the water temperature is 212 degrees. A high boil is -used only to bring food to the boiling point; then lower the flame and -finish cooking with a minimum flame. - -EXCESS HEAT RESULTS IN HARD-TO-CLEAN GREASE AND STEAM DEPOSITS ON WALLS, -CABINETS AND CEILINGS. WHILE THE FUEL IS OFTEN BLAMED FOR SUCH DIRT, THE -REAL PROBLEM IS TOO MUCH HEAT AND/OR FAILURE TO COVER UTENSILS WHENEVER -POSSIBLE. - - HIGH FLAME - -For instant heat needed to bring foods to a rapid boil. - - MEDIUM FLAME - -To brown and fry food. - - SIMMER FLAME - -To maintain gentle boil for boiling or steaming, cream sauces, gravies, -puddings, etc. - - KEEP WARM - -To keep foods hot without additional cooking; melting and keeping hot -beverages at serving temperature. Always cover utensils with this -setting. - - FLAME ADJUSTMENT - -Of all its advantages, the cleanliness of GAS is perhaps the greatest. A -properly adjusted Gas flame is one of the cleanest energy sources known. - -The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good -flame is clear and blue and hardly visible in a well lighted room. Each -cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. - - - A THOUGHT OR TWO ABOUT A POT OR TWO - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - - Cooking is easier with the correct pan; a well designed pan. Look for - these characteristics when selecting new pans: - - GOOD BALANCE - -aids even heating and ease of use. The pan should set level with or -without food. - - WELL FITTED COVER - -helps to retain moisture, flavor and nutrients during the cooking -process. It keeps temperature in the pan more even and holds in heat, -aroma, and steam. Cover pans whenever you can so foods cook with maximum -speed and minimum clean-up. Cooking with a cover will require a lower -flame setting than will be needed for the same food cooked uncovered. - - HEAT-RESISTANT HANDLE - -aids in easy handling of the utensil and avoids discomfort or burn. - - DENT-RESISTANT MATERIAL - -aids in retaining the original shape of the pan to insure good lid fit -and ease in cleaning. - - GOOD HEAT CONDUCTOR MATERIAL - -insures more even heating of the pan and more even browning or cooking. -Examples of good heat conducting materials are: aluminum or -aluminum-clad stainless steel. Materials which conduct heat slowly -(stainless steel, cast iron, glass and enamel) may require special -attention for desired results. GENERALLY, LOWER FLAME HEIGHTS ARE BEST -FOR NON-ALUMINUM UTENSILS. - - - - - COOKING ON THE “BURNER-WITH-A-BRAIN”{decorative drawing} - - - THERMOSTATIC TOP BURNER WITH FLAME SIZE CONTROL - -This new flexible control permits you to cook automatically in utensils -of many types and sizes. Temperature is thermostatically controlled by a -sensing device in the center of the burner. The sensing device, in -contact with the pan bottom, transmits food temperature to a thermostat -which maintains any degree of heat you select, automatically. - -The flame size control is an added convenience to permit easy adjustment -of the height of the flame on the burner. The size of flame should be -selected to fit the size or type of cooking utensil, or the kind of food -or cooking to be done. A low size flame is best for small utensils, for -non-aluminum pans (stainless steel, cast iron, glass and enamel), and -foods requiring a temperature of 200 degrees or below. - - TIMED OR PROGRAMMED TOP BURNER - -Some thermostatic top burners are available which can be set to cook at -any temperature, then AUTOMATICALLY reduce to a holding temperature. For -details, refer to manufacturer’s instruction booklet. - - ADVANTAGES OF “BURNER-WITH-A-BRAIN” COOKING: - -1. Food is better because each food can be cooked at the most desirable, -accurate temperature. - -2. Cooking is more carefree because the temperature selected is -maintained automatically. Burning, scorching, boil-overs and -pot-watching are eliminated. - -3. After cooking the food can be held on the “LOW” setting when there -are unavoidable delays at serving time. Even mashed potatoes will stay -hot and fluffy without scorching! - -4. Results are excellent when doing special types of cooking such as -deep fat frying, griddle cooking, warming leftovers, popcorn, skillet -meals, and sensitive foods such as custards and cream sauces because it -assures even, accurate temperature control. - - BEST RESULTS: - -1. Use flat bottomed utensils which make good contact with the sensing -device. Try also to choose pans that fit the quantity of food you are -cooking. Utensils perform best when nearly full. - -2. Aluminum conducts heat very well and is ideal for use on the -thermostatic top burner. - -3. Do not use glass utensils unless food is cooked in liquid. - -4. The top of the sensing device and the bottom of the utensil should be -kept clean. - -5. In frying foods, particularly meats, make certain that the center of -the pan over the sensing device is covered with food. - -6. Generally, lower flame heights are best for non-aluminum utensils. - -7. When meats with bones are pan broiled and insufficient fat is -obtained from the meat, it may be necessary to add a small amount of -shortening to insure good contact between pan and meat. - -8. Frying in pyroceram (Corningware) requires low flame size and 25 to -50 degrees lower temperature. - -9. When cakes, breads or desserts are baked on the thermostatic top -burner, the top of the food has a slightly steamed appearance. Remove -cover for last 5 minutes to allow food to dry on top. - -10. Preheating is necessary when pan frying, deep fat frying, pan -broiling and griddle cooking. Put the shortening in the pan (except for -pan broiling) and set the thermostatic control at the flame size and -temperature recommended for the food being cooked. When the temperature -is reached, the flame will automatically lower or diminish completely -and you can begin to fry then or whenever you are ready. The burner will -automatically increase or decrease the flame as needed to maintain the -selected temperature. - -11. Tight-fitting lids keep heat, moisture and flavor inside the pan and -should be used for warming, melting, simmering, steaming and most -boiling. Cooking without a cover will require a higher temperature -setting than will be needed for the same food cooked covered. Frying and -pan broiling do not require covers. - -12. It may be helpful to record the temperature settings which give you -the best results. - - - TIME AND TEMPERATURE GUIDE FOR - “BURNER-WITH-A-BRAIN” - -Personal taste, the quantity of food and other factors may necessitate a -slightly higher or lower temperature. Reduce flame size for all small -utensils before selecting temperature and for nonaluminum pans -(stainless steel, cast iron, glass and enamel). To fry in pyroceram -(Corningware) utensils, lower temperature 25 degrees to 50 degrees. - -ALUMINUM IS THE BEST HEAT CONDUCTOR AND IS IDEAL FOR USE ON THERMOSTATIC -TOP BURNER. - - CONTROL SETTING - FOOD TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATE COOKING - TIME - - BEVERAGES - Cocoa 175°-200° 10 to 15 Min. - Coffee - Percolator 225°-250° 12 to 15 Min. - Vacuum 185° 8 to 10 Min. - To Keep Warm 150°-175° - BREADS - Grilled Sandwiches 325°-350° 2 to 3 Min. per side - French Toast 325°-350° 3 to 4 Min. per side - Pancakes 350°-375° 1 to 3 Min. per side - CAKES - (Bake in 10-inch skillet, covered) - Gingerbread 250° 30 to 35 Min. - Package Cake, 1 layer 250° 25 to 30 Min. - Pineapple Upside-down Cake, 1 layer 250° 25 to 30 Min. - CANDY - (Use a heavy pan, preferably aluminum) - Fudge 250° To soft ball stage on - candy thermometer - Divinity 250° To hard ball stage on - candy thermometer - Peanut Brittle 325°-350° 15 to 20 Min. or hard - cracked stage on - candy thermometer - CEREAL - (added to boiling water) - Cream of Wheat (quick) 175°-200° 5 Min. - Oatmeal (quick) 175°-200° 3 to 5 Min. - Macaroni, Spaghetti and Noodles 225°-250° Until tender - Rice 210°-225° 20 Min. - DESSERTS - Custards: - Soft (stirred) 175°-190° 4 to 7 Min. - Steamed, individual 175°-190° 20 to 30 Min. - Puddings: - Cream Pie Filling 200°-210° 6 to 8 Min. - Package Mix 200° 4 to 8 Min. - Steamed, 1-qt. mold 200° According to recipe - Tapioca 200° 5 to 8 Min. - EGGS - Fried 200°-225° 2 to 4 Min. preheated - skillet - Omelet 250°-300° 3 to 5 Min. - Poached 175°-200° 3 to 7 Min., covered - Hard Cooked 200° 20 Min., covered - Soft Cooked - (Added to boiling water) 200°-225° 3 to 6 Min. - Scrambled 200°-225° 2 to 4 Min. preheated - skillet - FRUITS - Applesauce 200° 15 to 20 Min., covered - Cranberry Sauce 225° 15 to 20 Min. - Dried Fruits, 1 lb. 190°-200° 15 to 35 Min. - FROSTINGS - (Use heavy pan, preferably aluminum) - Boiled 250°-275° 8 to 10 Min. or long - thread - Fudge or Caramel 250°-275° 12 to 14 Min. or soft - ball - Seven Minute 190°-200° 3 to 10 Min. - JAM AND JELLY - Jam, 3 to 4 lb., fruit 225° According to recipe - Jelly, 2 cups juice 250° Until jelly “sheets″ - FISH, MEAT AND POULTRY - Bacon (do not preheat pan) 300°-325° 3 to 5 Min. per side - Braised Meat 350° Until brown - 210° Until tender - Canadian Bacon 275°-300° 2 to 5 Min. per side - Chicken, cut up 325° Until brown - 210°-225° 20 to 40 Min., covered - Fish Fillets 325° 4 to 5 Min. per side - Ground Beef Patties 300°-325° 4 to 6 Min. per side - Ham Slice, ¼″ to ½″ thick 300° 6 to 8 Min. per side - Liver, ¼″ to ½″ thick 275° 3 to 5 Min. per side - Pork Chops, ½″ to 1″ thick 275° Until brown - 200° 20 to 40 Min., covered - Pork Sausage 275° Until thoroughly - cooked - Pot Roast, 3 to 5 lb. 325° Until brown - 200°-215° 3 to 4 Hr., covered - Steak, Cube 350° 2 Min. per side for - medium doneness - Steak, Sirloin, Club, T-Bone or Rib 325° 3 to 7 Min. per side - ½″ to ¾″ thick for medium doneness - SAUCES - (Cook uncovered, stirring constantly) - Barbecue Sauce 210° 15 Min. - Gravy 200°-225° 5 to 8 Min. - White Sauce 200°-210° 4 to 6 Min. - SOUPS - (Cook covered, stirring occasionally) - Heating creamed soups 200° 8 to 10 Min. - Vegetable 210° 2 to 3 Hr. - VEGETABLES - Fresh or frozen 210°-225° Until tender, covered - Potatoes: - Baked 375° 1 to 1½ hrs., on rack - in covered aluminum - pan - Hash Brown 325° Until brown - Sweet Potatoes (candied) 225°-235° 10 to 20 Min. - SPECIAL COOKING OPERATIONS See directions on following pages - DEEP FAT FRYING - Shrimp, Oysters, etc. 375°-400° 2 to 6 Min. - Doughnuts, Fritters 375°-400° 3 to 6 Min. - Onion Rings 375°-400° 6 to 7 Min. - Potatoes 375°-400° 6 to 10 Min. - MISCELLANEOUS - Melting Chocolate, Cheese, Butter 175° 7 to 9 Min., covered - metal pan - Popcorn 375° 3 to 6 Min. - Pressure Cooking Follow manufacturer’s instructions - 225°-235° 5 lb. pressure - 235°-240° 10 lb. pressure - 240°-250° 15 lb. pressure - WARMING - Baby Bottle Low to 150° Until warm - Leftovers 150°-175° 10 to 20 Min., - covered pan - Rolls, wrapped in foil on rack 250° 15 to 20 Min., - covered aluminum pan - - To convert a favorite recipe to Burner-with-a-Brain cooking—if the - recipe says: - - Warm or melt use 150°-175° or Low - Simmer or low use 175°-200° - Boil use 200°-225° - High boil use 225°-250° - Fry use 250°-375° - Deep fat fry use 375°-400° - - - - - RECIPES FOR “BURNER-WITH-A-BRAIN” - - - TOASTED POUND CAKE - -For a simple but delicious dessert, toast slices of pound cake. Preheat -griddle on the thermostatic top burner at 300 degrees. Cut slices of -pound cake one inch thick; butter both sides or leave plain, depending -on your flavor preference. When flame lowers, grill on hot griddle for -about 3 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Serve plain or topped -with ice cream and/or sauce. - - - WARMING ROLLS - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -Wrap rolls or muffins in double thickness of aluminum foil, folding -edges under tightly. Place foil wrapped package on rack or crumpled -aluminum foil in aluminum skillet or saucepan on thermostatic top burner -at 250 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. - - - HARD COOKED EGGS - - Eggs - 1 Tbsp. water for EACH egg - -Place eggs and water in pan. Cover with tight fitting lid. Cook on -thermostatic top burner at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from -flame, pour off hot water and immediately cool with cold water. Peel -immediately or refrigerate, peeling later. This method of preparation -eliminates pot watching, cracked eggs and dark ring around yolks. - - - “PAN BAKED” APPLES - -Wash and core 6 baking apples. Add a dash of cinnamon, one Tbsp. sugar -and a dot of butter to each apple. Place apples in skillet or saucepan. -Add one Tbsp. water for each apple to be cooked. Cover and cook on -thermostatic top burner at 212 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Spoon sauce -in bottom of skillet over each apple before serving. - - - “PAN BAKED” POTATOES - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -Place scrubbed potatoes on a rack or on crumpled aluminum foil in -aluminum skillet or saucepan. Do not add water or wrap potatoes in foil. -Cover skillet or saucepan and bake on thermostatic top burner at 375 -degrees until done, about 1 to 1½ hours. - - - “BUTTER BOIL” FROZEN VEGETABLE - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -Break up frozen vegetable by pounding package against edge of counter. -Place vegetable in saucepan with 2 to 3 tablespoons butter and ½ -teaspoon salt. For starchy vegetables like lima beans and corn, 1 or 2 -tablespoons of water may be needed. Cook on thermostatic top burner at -210 degrees. Cook time indicated on package plus 5 minutes. - -NOTE: To prevent breaking spears of asparagus and broccoli, thaw just -enough to break apart. - - - FLUFFY RICE - -For 3 cups of cooked white rice, place 1 cup uncooked rice, 2 cups water -and 1 teaspoon salt in 2-qt. saucepan. Place on thermostatic top burner -at 225 degrees. Bring to a boil, then cover pan, lower temperature -setting to 190 degrees, and simmer about 15 minutes or until water is -absorbed and rice is tender. For extra fluffy rice, turn burner off and -let rice stand, covered for 10 minutes more. - -Brown and wild rice are best cooked this way also, but cooking time will -be much longer—about 35 to 45 minutes total cooking time. Also, add -about ½ cup more water. - - - POPCORN - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -Place 2 tablespoons of oil and ½ cup popcorn in 10-inch aluminum skillet -or saucepan. Cover tightly and place on thermostatic top burner at 375 -degrees. Heat until popping stops, about 3 minutes. No need to shake the -pan. Pour into serving bowl and toss with melted butter and salt. - - - TO USE PRESSURE SAUCEPANS - -Pressure cooking is extremely easy with a thermostatic top burner. The -following temperatures may be used as a guide: 240° to 250° for 15 -pounds pressure, 235° to 240° for 10 pounds, and 225° to 235° for 5 -pounds. Use medium flame if the pressure saucepan is of non-aluminum -material. Raise or lower the temperature if needed to maintain the -correct pressure; once it is determined, record it for future use. Time -pressure cooking from the time the desired pressure is reached. - - - DEEP FAT FRYING - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -Accurate top burner temperature control makes deep fat frying just as -easy as boiling water. Use a deep aluminum skillet or French fryer so -oil will only half fill it and completely cover food. Preheat oil at -recommended temperature (usually 375 to 400 degrees) until flame lowers, -about 10 minutes. Add food in small amounts, cook until brown, turning -once. Remove and drain on absorbent paper. - - - PAN BROILING - -Set thermostatic top burner at 275 to 350 degrees depending on kind of -meat and thickness.

Cool before cutting into squares. Makes approximately 2 pounds. - - - - - GRIDDLE{decorative drawing} - - -One type of griddle is designed by the range manufacturer to fit over -one of the surface burners. It can usually be converted to a fifth -burner and is often thermostatically controlled. The other type is a -portable separate utensil which fits over any range burner. - -The griddle should be seasoned before using for the first time. To do -this, brush surface with unsalted shortening. Heat on thermostatic top -burner at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn flame off and allow griddle -to cool. While griddle is still warm, wipe off excess shortening with -paper towel. The griddle is now ready for use. - -The recommended thermostatic controlled burner temperature or a medium -flame should be used when grilling foods. If griddle has no temperature -indicator or is not thermostatically controlled, use a few drops of -water as a test for proper cooking temperature. The water will form -beads and “dance” when the griddle is ready to use. - - - - - GRILLING GUIDE - - -Preheat griddle at high flame and recommended temperature.

THE MODERN FUEL ... GAS{decorative drawing} - - - BLUE FLAME OVEN TIPS - -The oven should be allowed to preheat 10 to 15 minutes for most baking -and all roasting operations. - -Arrange pans 1½ inches from sides of oven and from each other for best -heat circulation. There should also be 1½ inches of air space above and -below each pan. - -It is possible to use both racks at the same time in a Gas oven and -still be assured of even browning. Two sheets of cookies or 4 layers of -cake can be baked without shifting the pans. When using two racks and -several pans, stagger the pans so no pan is squarely above another. - -The most desirable baking results are obtained when the correct pan is -used. Use the size pan recommended in the recipe. Use a medium weight -aluminum or glass cake pan. Do not expect warped or darkened pans to -produce even browning or a level product. - -If food runs over in the oven, sprinkle with salt to stop smoking. Clean -as soon as baking has been completed and oven has cooled. - -Use minute timer to remind you when to check foods. - -With a window in the door and an interior oven light, the cooking -progress may be checked without opening the door. Leave oven door closed -at least until the minimum baking time has elapsed. - -When baking in glass pans, lower recommended temperature 25 degrees and -use the recommended time. - -For mixes, packaged and frozen foods, follow label directions. Remember, -however, that cooking times are approximate and can be adjusted to suit -personal preferences. - -The non-tip oven rack may be pulled out for loading and unloading the -oven without reaching into the heated oven. - -Oven meals requiring same time and temperature for all foods have been -planned on the following pages. Your own favorite recipes can also be -cooked and held automatically with the new programmed system. - - USE OF ALUMINUM FOIL - -If aluminum foil is used in the oven, place a small sheet in the center -of the oven bottom. The heated air MUST be allowed to circulate freely -through the openings toward the outer edge of the oven bottom. DO NOT -completely cover the oven bottom. DO NOT cover an oven rack with foil. -Use aluminum foil only when absolutely necessary. DO NOT leave foil in -the oven permanently. If these instructions are not followed, damage to -the range and unsatisfactory baking results can be expected. - - MEAT PROBE - -A meat probe is a device for measuring, indicating and/or controlling -internal temperature of meats by means of a metal probe inserted into -the roast and linked to an indicator or actuator. This convenience -feature eliminates guesswork and insures perfection every time. - -Wipe meat with a clean, damp cloth. Season and place, fat side up, on -rack in shallow roasting pan. Basting is not necessary. - -When inserting probe into meat, put center section of probe into the -lean center muscle away from bone and fat and as near the center of the -meat as possible. When in use, the meat probe tip should be INSIDE the -meat, not sticking through the meat and out the other side. - -Always make certain the full length of probe is inserted in the meat. -This may mean the probe will be inserted at an angle to have tip in -center of muscle. - -Plug other end of cable into socket in oven wall. - -Turn selector dial to desired degree of doneness. - -Set oven thermostat to 325 degrees. - -DO NOT put an aluminum foil cover on meat when probe is used. - -When roasting is completed, the control automatically signals, turns the -oven off and/or reduces to and maintains a keep-warm temperature, -depending on the type of thermometer. - -Refer to manufacturer’s instruction booklet for further information. - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - - - - - MEAT ROASTING GUIDE - OVEN TEMPERATURE 325 DEGREES - - - Cut Approx.

Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies. - - - - - LOW-TEMPERATURE OVEN CONTROL{decorative drawing} - - -Your new Gas range has a new type of oven thermostat that provides -low-temperature heat control from 140° to 225°. This new feature has -miraculously opened up a new temperature area with many special uses. -See pages 30 and 31 to see how this control will help you! - - - GENERAL USE - -OVEN OPERATION - -You will notice the following characteristics with the new -low-temperature oven control: - -1. After turning the oven control to the desired temperature, there will -be a slight delay (several seconds) before the oven burner comes on. - -2. The oven burner turns on and off as the oven operates except at the -“Broil” setting. Baking times and temperatures are not affected by the -“off-on” control. - - PREHEATING - -When using temperatures below 225°, preheating is generally recommended. -To preheat, just turn the control to the temperature you want. It is not -necessary to turn it first to a higher setting. Allow 10 minutes for -preheating. - - COOLING THE OVEN - -Many ranges have the special feature of programmed cooking which reduces -the cooking temperature to the keep-warm setting automatically. However, -there are two ways to cool the oven manually to a lower holding -temperature: - -1. The quickest method is to turn the oven control to the desired -low-temperature setting and open the oven door for 10 to 15 minutes to -allow excess heat to escape. Then close the door until ready to serve -the food. - -2. A second method of cooling is to turn the oven control to the lower -setting about 15 minutes before the end of the usual cooking time for -the food you are preparing. Let the oven cool with the door closed. As -the oven cools gradually to the keep-warm temperature, the food will -finish cooking. If the oven door is opened during this cool down period -(approximately 45 minutes after you lower the temperature) additional -cooking time may be needed. - - KEEPING WHOLE MEALS WARM - -The setting recommended for the main course is usually a good compromise -if all the foods in a meal do not have the same recommended keep-warm -temperature. - - COVERING FOODS - -Moist foods should be tightly covered; many foods need only a loose -cover. Aluminum foil makes an ideal cover if the utensil has no lid. - - CARVING MEAT - -Generally it is best to wait until just before serving to carve -meats—especially rare or medium meats. However, if you do wish to carve -meats ahead of time, keep the exposed cut surfaces close together and -cover lightly with dampened paper towels or a dampened tea towel. - - PRO-TEN® (PRE-TENDERED) BEEF - -The papain used as a tendering agent continues to tenderize while the -meat is held at keep-warm temperatures. As a result, these meats can -become too tender after a holding period. Cuts which are not naturally -tender, such as chuck and brisket, hold best but should be served within -1 to 2 hours after cooking is completed. - -®Swift and Co. - - WARMING SERVING DISHES AND PLATES - -Preheat the oven and warm dishes at 170°. Allow 10 to 20 minutes to warm -dishes thoroughly. Do not set warm dishes on a cold surface as rapid -temperature changes can cause cracking. Warm only china, pottery, -earthenware or enamelware (not silver). - - TO THAW AND FRESHEN BAKED GOODS - -Preheat oven to 170°. Wrap baked goods loosely to prevent drying and -permit evaporation of ice crystals formed during freezing. This -low-temperature oven method thaws three to four times faster than at -room temperature. - - HOLDING TIME - -Most cooked foods may be held safely at serving temperature for 4 hours -after cooking is completed. However, food is most palatable and -nutritious when served reasonably soon after cooking. Therefore, keep -foods warm no longer than necessary—preferably no more than 1½ to 2 -hours. - -Top burner cooked foods are most attractive when held an hour or less. -Green vegetables are especially subject to color and texture changes. - - - - - KEEP-WARM TEMPERATURES FOR OVEN COOKED FOODS - - -Foods should be still hot from cooking—These temperatures will keep them -hot for serving. - - FOOD TEMPERATURE SETTING - - Bacon 200° to 225° - Baked Potatoes 200° to 225° - Beef, rare 155° to 170° - Beef, medium 170° to 180° - Beef, well done 170° to 200° - Biscuits, Muffins 170° to 190° - Casseroles (covered) 200° - Fish, baked or broiled (cover loosely) 170° to 200° - Ham 170° to 200° - Lamb 170° to 200° - Pies, pastry 155° to 170° - Pizza (cover loosely) 225° - Pork, fresh or smoked 170° to 200° - Poultry, roast 170° to 190° - Poultry, fried 185° to 200° - Rolls 190° - Seafood, baked or broiled (cover loosely) 170° to 200° - - - - - KEEP-WARM OVEN TEMPERATURES FOR TOP-BURNER-COOKED FOODS - - - TEMPERATURE SETTING - - French-fried potatoes (uncovered, do not hold 200° to 225° - longer than 15 minutes) - Mashed potatoes (covered) 155° to 170° - Pancakes, French Toast (loosely covered) 200° to 225° - Pan-fried meats, Fish and Poultry (loosely covered) 200° to 225° - Vegetables (covered) 170° - - - - - TO THAW FROZEN FOODS - - -PREHEAT OVEN TO 155°. Leave foods tightly wrapped in their -moisture-vapor proof freezer wrapping. Thaw just enough to separate or -to handle easily and once thawed, do not refreeze. In general, foods -will thaw four times faster than at room temperature. Cook as soon as -possible after thawing. - - FOOD APPROXIMATE THAWING - TIME AT 155° - - Fish steaks or fillets, 1 package 40 minutes - Frying chicken, cut up 1¼ hours - Ground meat, 1 pound 1½ hours - Meat patties or chops 45 minutes - Poultry, 3 to 8 pounds 2 to 3½ hours - Poultry, 8 to 12 pounds 3½ to 5 hours - Poultry, 12 to 20 pounds 5 to 7 hours - Rolled roast, 5 to 6 pounds 4½ hours - Round steak, 1-inch thick 1 hour - - - - - PROGRAMMED COOKING{decorative drawing} - - -One of the most outstanding, truly automatic features of the Gas range -is the programmed oven. Oven programming means that the oven will -automatically change at a set time from one temperature to -another—usually from a cooking to a keep-warm temperature. In other -words, set the oven control for the cooking temperature and the amount -of cooking time. The oven will cook the food, then automatically reduce -to a keep-warm temperature to hold the foods for serving without -over-cooking or drying out. - - A. Foods which program well: - - 1. Most main dishes, especially casseroles and foods in sauces. - 2. Covered foods. - 3. Yellow vegetables, onions, or beets. Green vegetables, up to 1 to 2 - hours; long holding period causes loss of color. - 4. Roasts and other large cuts of meat. - 5. Rice, noodles, macaroni. - -B. Foods which should not be programmed: - - 1. Foods such as cookies, pies, and cakes which require exact cooking - times should be removed from oven immediately. If they are - to be kept warm, they should be rewrapped to prevent - drying and then placed in the keep-warm oven. - 2. Foods to be served immediately—souffles. - 3. Broiled foods. - -C. General rules: - - 1. Food may be held with safety for 4 hours after cooking is - completed, but will be most palatable served within 1½ to - 2 hours. - 2. Any food which holds well in the low temperature oven usually - programs well also. - 3.

It is smokeless because the -broiler flame literally consumes any smoke formed. It is cool because it -is done with the oven and broiler compartment doors closed. - -There are no set rules for broiler cooking time because foods vary, -personal preferences differ and broiler burners vary in speed and -performance characteristics according to type. - - GENERAL BROILING TIPS - -{decorative drawing} - -Always broil with full flame unless otherwise specified in recipe. If -recipe requires low flame, preheat on full flame first; then lower flame -to about 325 degrees to broil food. When preheating, remove the broiler -pan from the broiler compartment. Preheat broiler 5 to 10 minutes. This -speeds up broiling and gives browner and juicier meats. If broiler is -not preheated, allow a few extra minutes on the broiling time. - -Do not use aluminum foil on the broiler insert, for it will block the -insert openings and prevent drainage of fat and drippings. - -Allowances must be made for broiling large quantities of meat at one -time by lowering broiler pan position. - -Meat for broiling should be tender, but need not be expensive. -Hamburgers, weiners, etc. are tasty when broiled. - -Veal and fresh pork should not be broiled. Veal is too lean. Pork -requires long, slow cooking to be eaten safely. - -Always turn meat with tongs, as piercing it with a fork will cause -unnecessary loss of meat juices. - -Allow meat to brown well on the first side before turning it. - -When turning meat, place on its original spot to cover the greasy area -and prevent unnecessary charring on the pan insert. - -Although it is possible to broil frozen meat, a better product is -obtained by thawing before broiling. However, if frozen, increase -distance from the burner and allow more time than the chart indicates. - -In a Gas range that has a broiler below the oven, it is possible to bake -and broil at the same time. Ham, fish, chicken, sandwiches, cold cuts -and fruit are just a few of the foods than can be broiled using a low -flame. Broiling time will be lengthened by this method. Meat will have a -less crusty surface but will be tender and juicy. - - -INFRARED BROILING GUIDE - -Remove broiler pan before preheating. Use high flame for preheating and -cooking.

Reposition food if necessary. - -For most accurate test of doneness, use a meat thermometer. It will -indicate internal temperature which is more accurate than estimating -time. Insert carefully so thermometer does not touch fat, bone or -rotisserie spit, or hit any part of compartment when meat is rotating. - -Bones and fat are both good conductors of heat, so roasts which have -larger amounts will cook more quickly than lean boneless pieces. - -Smaller pieces of meat require a longer cooking time per pound than -large pieces of meat. - -Season the cavity of poultry before cooking. Stuff if desired. Tie wings -and legs close to body before securing firmly on rotisserie spit. Season -skin. Brushing with butter is not necessary. - -When using High flame, baste only during the last 10 minutes of cooking. -When a longer basting period is desired, it is best to use Low flame. - -To make a roast carve more easily, allow the meat to “set” after -cooking. Rare roasts should be covered loosely and allowed to stand in a -Gas oven at 170 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes before carving. The medium -and well-done roasts should be allowed about half this much time. - - - CONVENTIONAL BURNER ROTISSERIE GUIDE - -Consult manufacturer’s instruction booklet for specific information.

Visually, bubbles -should rise continually. Method: cover the pan and bring the contents to -a boil over a high flame. Then turn to the simmer flame (first click on -many burners) and continue boiling, covered until done. - - BRAISE - -To cook meat or poultry by searing in fat, then simmering in a covered -pan in small amount of moisture. Method: generally, meats are seasoned -and rolled in flour and browned in hot fat. Then add a small amount of -liquid and cover the pan. Turn burner valve knob to simmer flame, so -food simmers, not boils, until done. - - DEEP FAT FRY - -To cook in fat deep enough to completely cover the food being cooked. A -saucepan or skillet may be used. Method: use a high flame to bring the -fat to frying temperature (usually 375 degrees), then lower the flame -until it just maintains the desired fat temperature. - - HIGH BOIL - -This term is used to describe a vigorous, rolling boil which cannot be -stirred down. It cooks no faster than a gentle boil but is needed for -cooking foods like macaroni or jellies and jams. Method: cover the pan -and use a high flame to bring the contents to a boil quickly. Then -uncover the pan and turn to a medium flame or enough heat to maintain a -high boil. The food is cooked uncovered in this case to prevent -boil-overs and/or to permit evaporation. - - MELT - -To liquify a solid food by heat. Method: heat over “keep warm” flame -until liquified. Covering the pan will speed melting. - - PAN BROIL - -To cook uncovered on a hot surface, usually in a skillet, pouring off -fat as it accumulates. Method: heat skillet on “high”. Do not add fat or -water and do not cover. Turn to “simmer” and brown meat slowly on both -sides, pouring off fat as it accumulates. - - SAUTÉ OR PAN FRY - -To cook uncovered in a hot skillet in a small amount of fat. Method: -heat just enough fat or butter to keep the meat from sticking (one to -four tablespoons) in a skillet over a low to medium flame, depending on -the utensil material. Add the food to the hot fat and cook, turning -occasionally, until brown as desired. - - SIMMER - -To cook in liquid, usually water, at a temperature below the boiling -point. Small bubbles are formed and rise slowly, but the liquid is -practically motionless. Method: cover the pan and bring the food to the -boiling point over a high flame. Then turn to the “simmer” flame. - - STEW - -To cook foods slowly in a covered pan in enough water to cover the food. -Method: this is the same as braising except that more liquid is used. -The food should simmer, not boil. - - - - - MEASURING THE RIGHT WAY - ALWAYS MEASURE ACCURATELY WITH STANDARD MEASURING EQUIPMENT - - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -FLOUR - -1.
