3. Operating Instructions

The Amana Radarange Microwave Browning Skillet is designed for browning foods in a microwave oven. It is not suitable for conventional oven use or stovetop cooking.

3.1 Browning Food in the Microwave

1. Preheating: Place the empty browning skillet in the microwave oven. Microwave on high power for the recommended preheating time specified in your microwave oven's manual or until the skillet is hot enough to brown food. Typical preheating times vary based on microwave wattage.
2. Adding Food: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the microwave using oven mitts. Place the food to be browned directly onto the hot surface of the skillet.
3. Microwave Cooking: Return the skillet with food to the microwave. Cook on high power for the desired duration, monitoring the food to achieve the desired level of browning. Cooking times will vary based on food type, quantity, and microwave wattage.
4. Removal: Always use oven mitts when handling the skillet, as it will be extremely hot during and after microwave use.

Important: The skillet does not have a nonstick coating. A small amount of cooking oil or spray may be used to prevent sticking, if desired, after preheating and before adding food.

4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Cleaning

• Hand Wash Only: This skillet is not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand using warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Stubborn Residue: For baked-on food, allow the skillet to soak in warm, soapy water for a period before cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can damage the ceramic surface.
• Drying: Thoroughly rinse and dry the skillet immediately after washing to prevent water spots and ensure it is ready for next use.

4.2 Storage

Store the clean, dry skillet in a safe place where it will not be chipped or broken. Avoid stacking heavy items directly on top of the skillet.

5. Troubleshooting

• Food Not Browning: Ensure the skillet is adequately preheated before adding food. Microwave wattage varies, so adjust preheating time accordingly. Ensure the food is not excessively moist, as this can hinder browning.
• Skillet Overheating: If the skillet appears to be overheating or smoking, immediately stop the microwave and allow the skillet to cool completely before handling. Reduce preheating time for future use.
• Food Sticking: The skillet does not have a nonstick coating. Apply a small amount of cooking oil or spray to the hot surface before adding food to minimize sticking.
