  • Page 25: Frequently Asked Questions

    What type of steel is the Orion Cooker made out of? T he Orion Cooker and all of the attachments are 100% food grade stainless steel. After using the Orion Cooker several times, the steel will begin to darken. This is due to the smoke on the inside of the cooking cylinder as well as the heat/ash from the coals on the outside. This will in no way diminish the quality or performance of the Orion Cooker.
