COOKING MEATS
To Cook Roasts
Place a piece of paper towel into the pan and preheat on Medium for 5 to 10
minutes. The piece of paper towel should brown when the pan is hot, or drops
of water placed in the pan should pearl or bead. If the water evaporates, the
pan is not hot enough.
Grease or oil is not needed however if you choose to use oil it will not damage
your cookware. If you are not using oil, the meat will stick at first. Do not be
alarmed. It will release after approximately 5-10 minutes. The sticking allows
your meat to brown and achieve that beautiful caramelized texture.
When your meat releases, turn with a regular metal fork. While searing, you
may want to partially cover the lid to avoid splattering or again, you may utilize
the adapter ring. Continue to turn and sear on all sides of the roast only after
allowing ample cooking time on the first side. This will ease turning.
To complete the cooking process, place the cover on the pan with the Audio
TempAlert knob set to open and wait for it to whistle. Then turn the heat down
to low.
Rare..................................10-15 minutes per pound
Medium...............................15-20 minutes per pound
Well...................................20-25 minutes per pound
If the roast is wide and flat it will cook faster than if thick and square. Feel free
to lift the lid and cut into the roast to see if it is done to your liking. However,
keep in mind that the more times you lift the lid, the longer it will take to cook.
Add seasonings, onions, garlic, or vegetables to your roast after you have
seared it and are ready to cover and wait for the indicator to reach 40
degrees, turn to low and start timing.
Frying and Grilling Meats
Always preheat the skillet or grill pan on medium heat. Check for desired
temperature by sprinkling a little water in the pan or if you have placed a piece
of paper towel into the pan, it should begin to brown. Place the meat in the
pan and let fry for 5-8 minutes depending on the thickness of the meat. Turn
the meat and continue to fry until desired preference is reached. Add season-
ings or sauces before serving. Again, feel free to partially cover the pan or
utilize the adapter ring. This will not only reduce splattering but it will also
decrease cook time.

How to Determine Correct Cooking Temperatures

The secret to great cooking is temperature control. CookWorld Cookware features the
CookWorld Audio TempAlert valve, which takes the guesswork out of cooking. Start with
the valve set to "OPEN" and when the temperature inside reaches the desired temperature
for preparing foods without harming the nutritional aspects, the Audio TempAlert Valve
will begin to whistle, alerting you to turn down the temperature. No need to open the lid
or stir the food to prevent scorching or burning. The convenient Audio TempAlert Valve
eliminates the need for stirring or constant "pot-watching". To stop the whistle sound,
simply turn the red dial to the "close" position and begin your timing.

Waterless cooking is a low-temperature method that can be performed on any type of stove.
However, since the degree of heat on each stove will vary, it may be necessary to experiment
to become accustomed to the amount of heat your cooking surface emits.
Once you've become acquainted with the amount of heat each unit delivers, simply follow the
timings in the General Directions. If at any time, vapors begin to escape from under the lid, turn
your stove to the "off" position for several minutes, then turn it back on to the lowest setting. If
while cooking any part of the burner is exposed around the utensil, it will not impair the cooking
efficiency. However, it is recommended that you use the pan that best fits the burner whenever
possible. Use smaller pans on the smaller burners and always allow both the burner and pan
to heat simultaneously.
