Pan-Frying: Saladmaster's unique construction allows you to fry chicken without added oil or grease.
 
How To:
Heat large or small skillet over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, until a few drops of water splashed in the pan bead and dance.  Add chicken pieces, pressing them against bottom and side of pan.  For a healthier option, remove skin and fat before cooking.  Meat may stick, but will loosen as browning continues.  Place lid on pan slightly ajar.  When meat loosens, turn and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes on each side.

chicken thighs, boneless, skinless

Directions: 

1. Preheat the electric skillet to 450°F/230°C.

2. Place chicken in skillet; it will initially stick.

3. Place cover on skillet, leaving the lid ajar. This will allow air to flow through the cookware creating a crispy, fried chicken (as opposed to the baking method).

4. When the chicken loosens from the skillet, approximately 10 - 15 minutes (the length of time depends on the size of the chicken), turn and cook another 10 - 15 minutes.

5. Optional: Season the hot chicken with desired seasonings once removed from the skillet.

4 fillets, rib-eye, or strip steaks of your choice, 4 ounces (113 g) each

Directions: 

1. Preheat skillet over medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled on pan skitter and dissipate, approximately 2 - 3 minutes, place meat in pan. If using the electric skillet, preheat skillet to 375°- 400°F/190°- 204°C. Meat may stick.

2. Cook on one side until browned. It will loosen as it browns.

3. Turn and cook until other side is browned. If desired, cover and cook until Vapo-Valve™ clicks. Reduce heat to low (for electric skillet, 275°-300°F/135°-148°C), and cook with cover ajar for approximately 5 - 10 minutes longer, or to desired doneness.

Tips: 

• For desired doneness cook according to the following recommendations (steak, boneless, 1-inch thick):

• Rare/red in center - 4 minutes on 1 side, 3 minutes on other side

• Medium rare-pink in center - 5 minutes on 1 side, 4 minutes other side

• Medium- slightly pink in center- 6 minutes on 1 side, 5 minutes other side

• Well-done/no pink in center - 7 minutes on 1 side, 6 minutes other side
