TIPS FOR CARING FOR ALUMINUM FRY PANS AND BOILING POT
It is not necessary to season aluminum pots before cooking with them. Wash with a liquid dish
washing detergent and towel dry.
After cooking, wash aluminum pots and fry pans in hot, sudsy detergent. If grease or black soot
has cooked to the outside of the pot while cooking with your outdoor cooker, scrub the outside
of the pot with a steel wool scouring pad.
DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER ON ALUMINUM POTS TO REMOVE GREASE OR SOOT.
OVEN CLEANER WILL CAUSE THE FINISH TO BECOME DULL.
If food remains stuck in the pan after cooking, add hot water and let soak. Then scrub the pan
with soap and steel wool to loosen the food.
If hard water causes darkening on the interior of your pot, fill to the level of the darkened area
with a water and cream of tartar or vinegar solution (mixed with the concentration of three
cups of water to one tablespoon cream of tartar, or vinegar). Boil five to ten minutes.
NEVER PLACE AN EMPTY ALUMINUM OR STAINLESS STEEL POT ON A LIT COOKER.
A hole will be burned in the bottom of the pot. Discoloration, scratching, and dimpling may
occur with the use of pots on outdoor cookers. This does not affect the performance of the pot.
Do not store used oil inside your aluminum pot. The salt used in cooking can corrode the pot
causing the pot to leak. Wash the pot after each use with hot, soapy water and rinse.
INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING OIL
In our instructions we suggest peanut oil for deep frying. While this is an excellent choice, any
good liquid vegetable oil may be substituted.
SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING USED COOKING OIL:
After initial use, let the oil cool. While slightly warm, filter out particles before storing in original
container or similar sturdy plastic or glass container. This can be accomplished by using filter
paper (coffee filters) or a clean cloth (dishtowel). Never pour hot oil into a container. For best
results store oil in a cool place. It can be reused within 30 days. Discard after second use or
when the flavor of reheated oil becomes objectionable to taste.
Helpful Hint: Try frying a batch of french fried potatoes after cooking. This aids in improving the
flavor of the oil for the next use.
