The Presto Kitchen Kettle - A Versatile Kitchen Multi Cooker and Steamer

The Presto Kitchen Kettle is a must have for every kitchen. It has many uses from deep frying to steaming vegetables. The Kitchen Kettle is dishwasher safe so clean up is a breeze. Before you use the Kitchen Kettle for the first time you need to "season" it. You do that by lightly rubbing the cooking surface with cooking oil. Remove excess oil with a paper towel. Its best to use wooden, or rubber utensils to stir or turn your food to prevent scratching the cooking surface. The cooking surface is non-stick.

Make sure you sit the Kitchen Kettle on a dry level heat resistant surface when using. Also make sure the heat control does not dangle off the counter or table. When plugging in your heat control make sure you use 120v AC polarized outlet. Now your are ready to cook.

The Kitchen Kettle is great to use to simmer soups, stews, or casseroles. The heat control will maintain the temperature. Below is a great recipe for simple chicken soup stock, and beef stew.

2 pounds of chicken 2 ribs celery, chopped
2 quarts of water 2 carrots, diced
1 teaspoon salt 1 onion, chopped
