THE STACK5® DOES IT ALL

The Stack5® is the ultimate kitchen appliance, offering you six separate cooking options.

GRILL
Use the Stack5® as a grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry, fish and vegetables. When  he Stack5® is being used as a grill, use the removable, non- stick grill plat

GRIDDLE
Use the Stack5® as a griddle to cook pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns and breakfast meats. When the Stack5® is being used as a griddle, use the removable, non-stick baking pan.B BROWN/SAUTÉ

The Stack5® can function as an electric skillet. Use the non-stick baking pan to brown or sauté ingredients as an independent skillet dish or as the foundation to a slow-cooked dish.

OW COSLOK
The 5-quart, non-stick baking pan for the Stack5® is the perfect-sized vessel to create a variety of slow-cooked meals.

BAKE
Use the Stack5® to create baked cakes and casseroles using the non-stick baking pan.

STEAM
Steam anything from artichokes to broccoli to chicken breasts in the Stack5®. Use the stainless steel steam rack inside the baking pan with a minimum of 3 cups of water to steam.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Place your Stack5® on a clean, flat surface where you intend to cook. The Stack5® can be positioned in three ways:
Grill Plate Position: Place the grill plate on top of the heater plate.

Baking Pan Position: Place the baking pan on top of the heater plate Steam Position: Place the baking pan on top of the heater plate, add the steam rack to the baking pan.

Steam Position:
Place the baking pan on top of the heater plate, add the steam rack to the baking pan.

NOTE: Make sure steam rack is resting on the pan support shelf, not the handle rivets.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Once the Stack5® is assembled properly and you are ready to begin cooking, turn the dial clockwise to select desired cooking temperature.

Temperatures range from WARM to 400˚F.When the unit is plugged in, the upper white indicator and blue ready light will illuminate to indicate that the power is on. Once a temperature is selected, the ready light will go out.

It may take up to 10 minutes to reach the selected temperature, depending on the temperature level that was set. When the thermostat has reached operating temperature, the lower blue ready light will indicate that the Stack5® is ready for cooking. During operation, the light will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the temperature. This is normal.

The temperature controls are used to set and maintain the temperature of the cooking surface. You may vary the setting of the control knob at any time during cooking, and may wish to do so depending on the types of foods you are cooking. Refer to the Cooking Function Guidelines chart and Steaming chart on pages 7 and 8 for recommendations.

CLEANING & CARE

  1. Unplug unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
  2. Never immerse grill housing in water or other liquids.
  3. To clean the housing and control panel, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  4. Hand wash removable lid with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
  5. The grill plate, baking pan, and steam rack are dishwasher-safe.
  6. Dry all parts after every use

MAINTENANCE : Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

NOTE : If food residue sticks to the baking pan surface, fill pot with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak before cleaning. If scouring is necessary, use a nonabrasive cleanser or liquid detergent with a nylon pad or brush.

TIPS & HINTS

  • Heat-up times may vary, based on a number of factors. The selected temperature, the current temperature of the grill plate or baking pan, the contents of the pan, and other factors can all affect heat-up time.
  • lways use nonstick utensils.
  • Metal utensils may damage the nonstick coating.

BROWN/SAUTÉ TIPS

  •  Use the baking pan to brown and sauté. Brown/Sauté as you would in a skillet or sauté pan on the stove – from quickly sautéed skillet dishes to the first step in many braised or slow-cooked dishes.
  •  For even browning, it is important not tocrowd the pan. Foods should be cookedin an even layer on the bottom of the pan, so it is good to cook foods in batches when necessary.
  •  Many recipes call for browning and sautéing foods before slow cooking. Some items produce more grease and fat than is desirable in the finished dish. To remove the excess grease, using pot holders, very carefully remove the baking pan from the base and pour out the grease from the corner of the baking pan. Return the baking pan to the base and finish cooking the dish as desired.
  • When browning meats, any brown bits that are left in the bottom of the pan can be used to flavor the dish. Simply add a small amount of liquid (like wine or broth) to the pan and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon – leave them in pan. Incorporate into the dish or sauce

SLOW-COOKING TIPS

  • Slow cook as you would in the oven. Cook tougher cuts of meat until tender, usually about 3 to 4 hours.

  • Slow cooking is perfect for foods that require long, slow simmering, such as stews, and dried beans.

  • Slow cooking is ideal for tougher and less expensive cuts of meat like shoulder and pot roast.

  • We encourage browning foods beforeslow cooking, as it adds much depth and flavor to the finished dish. However, if time is short, this step can be skipped and all ingredients can be added to your baking pan to slow cook. Ground meats should always be browned before slow cooking. For best cooking results, fill baking pan at least one-quarter full, but not more than three-quarters full.

  • “Crisp-tender” vegetables should be added during the last 30 minutes of cooking time to prevent overcooking. Fresh herbs should be stirred into dishes immediately before serving.

  • We do not recommend removing the lid when slow cooking, as heat will escape, requiring extra cooking time.

  • Many slow-cooked foods, such as stews, benefit from cooling and refrigerating, then reheating – as the saying goes, stew or chili is always better the second day.

  • A great way to reheat slow-cooked foods is to bring them to a simmer. Stir to ensure all ingredients are warmed through and then switch to 300˚ on the Slow Cook function for serving.

  • If using frozen foods, thaw completely before slow cooking.

  • Recipes can be assembled the night before cooking. Brown ingredients if necessary, and then combine with remaining ingredients in baking pan.
    Cover and refrigerate. When ready to cook, place the baking pan on the base heater plate and add 30 minutes to your projected cooking time.

  • To decrease the amount of fat in recipes, remove as much of the visible fat as possible from meats and poultry.
    Remove skin from poultry and drain any fat from browned meats.

STEAMING TIPS:

  • Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking, as the smallest amount of nutrients are lost in the cooking process.
  • To steam, fill the baking pan with water to max/steam indicator, about 3 to 4 cups. Add ingredients to the steam rack. Cover and select 400˚ F. Steam times reflect the time when temperature is selected.
  • When adding heavier foods, like corn on the cob, to the steaming rack, place them on the middle of the rack and work your way to the edges.
  • Use the smaller amount of water, 3 cups when steaming fish or seafood.
  • Always use caution when removing lid.
    It is best to remove the lid away from you.

Cooking| When should I brown my meat before slow cooking?| Browning meat before slow cooking is an optional step. It is beneficial, as it adds flavor and color, but the step can be omitted if time is short. Exception: ground meats which must be browned.
Can I use the baking pan on the stove/in the oven?| The baking pan was designed specifically for use in this grill. We do not suggest using it on the stove or in the oven.
Cleaning| Can I put my unit in the dishwasher?| All removable parts are top- rack dishwasher safe.
Do not immerse in water, or put the grill housing in the dishwasher. Clean the grill housing and control panel with a clean, damp cloth.
The baking pan and grill plate are nonstick – why is food sticking?| While the baking pan and grill plate do have a nonstick coating, it is possible for food residue to burn onto the baking pan and grill plate, making it difficult to remove.
Food residue is sticking to the baking pan and grill plate surface. How do I clean it without damaging it?| If food has burned on, fill baking pan or grill plate with warm, soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning. If scouring is necessary, use a nonabrasive cleanser or liquid detergent with a nylon pad or brush.
