HELPFUL TIPS

Smoking
If the unit begins to smoke during cooking, it may be due to grease build up. In order to
reduce smoking, make sure that you clean the Cooking Plate and Door Plates between uses.
Sometimes steam from cooking bacon can be confused for smoking. Steam is
ordinarily colorless and sometimes produces a white cloud that dissipates quickly,
while smoke tends to be slightly colored by its particles and hangs in the air.
It is normal for steam to escape through the small gap of the closed doors.
Cooking Tips
• For best results, make sure bacon does not overlap and strips
are evenly spaced. Bacon will shrink when cooked.
• Unit is recommended for use with lean, regular-cut bacon.
NOTE: Some meat market or specialty-cut bacon may be too thick or fatty for this unit.
• Depending on the type of bacon, if bacon is too long and touching the Door
Plates, the ends of the bacon may need to be trimmed in order to fit onto the
Cooking Plate. Use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut the ends of the bacon.
• For certain types of bacon, some may find it beneficial to flip
the bacon during the last 1-3 minutes of cooking.
• Cold bacon may take slightly longer to cook than room temperature bacon,
and may be more prone to smoking during the cooking process. Allow your
bacon to sit in room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.
• Keep in mind that this appliance drains fat from the bacon, so the appearance of the
bacon may not look as brown and crispy as when pan frying bacon in its own grease.
• When setting the dial to your desired crispiness, understand that
the dial crispiness is a suggestion. Some types of regular-cut bacon
may require more time to cook to your preference.
