FAQS

What is the dimension of inner frying basket?

It is 7″ across and 3 1/2″ deep with the fry plate in for air frying and 4″ deep for cooking without the plate. The plate keeps the food off the bottom and allows air to go around the food. It is plenty of air fries for two people but for a family you may want to go with the bigger unit. It takes 3 minutes to preheat and about 20 minutes to air fry a load.

could use this to reheat food?

To reheat, use a microwave at 50% level for enough time to almost get the food hot enough to eat, then destroy the sogginess by finishing in the air fryer at 370 for about 3 minutes! This is fast and it gives you the best of both appliances!

Is the frying bin traditional non-stick or is it Copper Chef coating? There is one in the market place that has copper colored lining.

This 2 quart air fryer by Copper Chef has regular black color non stick coating. It is not the super non stick coating in other Copper Chef products.

Will a pop tart fit in it?

Yes of course it will fit a pop tart , it does French fries also , love it

Will it it work with 220 volts?

No.

What is the non-stick coating made of? does it have teflon or pfoa’s?

Don’t know. It is a copper infused one.

Where is it made?

Made in China.

Does the food container separate from the handle basket?

Yes. Inside the basket there is a separate food holder that lifts out for easy cleaning. Just remember that this a a small unit and you will have to make more than one batcH.

Is the inside nonstick?

Yes it nonstick

What is kind of material us the pan made out of?

Non-stick steel

What is the coating on the inner basket?

The inner basket is some kind of non stick surface. So far it’s very easy to clean. The fry rack is a copper colored non stick as well. Very easy to clean. It recommends spritzing with olive oil or PAM for real low fat items (lean meat, fish or veggies) so they crisp nicely without burning or sticking to the sides.

Is the loading Basket also dishwasher safe?

Yes the items are dishwasher safe

How many pieces of chicken can you put in the air fryer.

No oil is needed for the pan.

Is it safe to use on glass top stove?

Yes you can use it on a glass top stove.

what is the maximum cook time available?

Timer range is 1 to 30 minutes. Of course, you can always reset the timer for additional time, but 30 minutes is more than enough for most anything you’d want to cook.

COPPER CHEF Wonder Cooker XL Owner’s Manual

Do not use the Copper Chef™ Wonder Cooker XL until you have read this manual thoroughly.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before You Begin
It is important that you read this entire manual, ensuring that you are completely familiar with using your Copper Chef cookware.

• NEVER leave Copper Chef cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. This could ruin the pan and cause damage to your stove top.
• NEVER put your cookware in the microwave or toaster oven. This is a hazard that can cause electric sparks or fire and could possibly damage the appliances and your cookware.
• NEVER leave your cookware unattended. This helps to avoid potential injury to children or the risk of fire.
• ALWAYS supervise children who are near cookware when in use, or injury may result.
• DO NOT handle Copper Chef cookware when hot, especially when inside the oven. Use oven mitts because the pan and handles will be very hot.
• Exercise caution when using the Glass Lid. As with any glassware for cooking, the Lid could shatter due to sudden temperature changes or due to impact if it is dropped or knocked against a hard object.
• If the Glass Lid should crack, chip, or become damaged, stop using it immediately.
• DO NOT attempt to repair cookware if it is damaged.
• This product is for home use only. It is not intended for camping or commercial use.
• DO NOT use aerosol cooking sprays. These sprays will build up on cookware and become difficult to remove while reducing the nonstick coating release.

Recommendations

Before Using

Please remove any clear or blue protective film on the components. Before using your new cookware, it is recommended that you wash it in hot water with mild soap or dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel. Copper Chef cookware is dishwasher safe, so you can put it in the dishwasher to rinse and clean before using for the first time.

While Cooking on Stove Top

• We recommend low to medium heat settings for most cooking.
  The CeramiTech coating will distribute heat more effectively and evenly.
  This causes some protein-rich foods to cook more quickly.
• The CeramiTech coating does not require the use of butter or cooking oil. If you choose to use oil or butter, we recommend oil or butter with a high smoke point: refined olive oil, peanut oil, corn oil, or (clarified) butter.
• Olive oil or oil sprays (including extra virgin olive oil) should not be used for searing or frying with high heat because olive oil has a lower smoke point than vegetable oils and can leave residue on your pan, but olive oil can be used to season your recipes.

Proper Cooking Utensils

To prevent scratching the coating, we recommend using nonmetal utensils with your Copper Chef cookware. Do not cut food on the Copper Chef Wonder Cooker XL using sharp utensils, such as forks, knives, mashers, or whisks, that can scratch the cooking surface.

Tips

Removing Stubborn Residue
When food is burned on the Copper Chef Wonder Cooker XL, a stubborn black residue may remain. If regular cleaning does not loosen it, soak in hot water and a tablespoon of non-lemon detergent for 15 mins. Allow the water to become lukewarm before you drain and rinse. Wipe with a plastic spatula or nonabrasive sponge to loosen residue. Repeat if necessary

Cooking With Gas

When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the bottom surface of the cookware. Your cookware can become discolored and it is a waste of energy if the flame comes up the sides of the pan.

NOTE: Copper Chef Cookware has exceptionally high thermoconductivity. Even a low setting on some gas burners could cause overheating and possibly burn foods such as thinly sliced onions.

Deep Frying

• Use oil with a high smoke point. The smoke point is the temperature to which an oil can be heated before it begins to smoke and burn. Canola, sunflower, and vegetable oil are all good choices.
• Never fill the Wonder Cooker XL more than two-thirds full of oil (6 qts.) because the oil may bubble up when food is added and could spill over the edges of the Wonder Cooker XL.
• Make sure you have a well-fitting lid, such as the Wonder Cooker XL’s Glass Lid, close to hand in case the oil catches fire. If the Glass Lid is not nearby, a large, flat baking sheet will work as a substitute.
• Check the temperature of your oil. If you have a food thermometer, heat the oil to 320° F/160° C for low, 350° F/175° C for moderate, and 375° F/190° C for high. Avoid heating the oil any higher than 375° F/190° C because it might catch fire. If you don’t have a food thermometer, test the oil with a cube of bread. It should brown in 30–40 secs. when the oil is at a moderate heat level.
• Never put wet or frozen food in the fryer. Excess liquid will cause the oil to splutter, which can cause injuries. Dry particularly wet food with a kitchen towel before frying.
• Never leave a pan of hot oil unattended. Oil can overheat and catch fire in only a minute or two.
• Remove food with a large slotted spoon or sturdy tongs – something that allows the oil to drain as you lift the food out of the Wonder Cooker.
• To dispose of the oil safely, leave it in the Wonder Cooker XL to cool completely, pour the oil into a jug, and then pour the oil back into its original bottle. Never pour the oil down the sink, which could lead to blocked pipes.
• If the oil starts to smoke, turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool.
• If the oil catches fire, turn off the heat and smother the flames with a lid, large baking tray, or fire blanket or use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
  CAUTION: Never spray the fire with water, which will cause the flames to spread.

Care & Cleaning

Easy Maintenance

• Allow cookware to cool completely before washing. Never immerse hot cookware in cold water as this will cause irreparable warping.
• Cleaning your Copper Chef cookware is quick and easy. After each use, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel. If any food particles remain, fill the cookware with hot water and liquid dish detergent, soak until the water becomes lukewarm, and use a sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches.

Dishwasher Safe

Although the entire Copper Chef Collection is dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning by hand. Hand-washing preserves the life of the cookware and helps to maintain its appearance. If cleaning in the dishwasher, follow the suggested guidelines:

1. Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and flatware may mark the surface of your Copper Chef cookware.
2. Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware.
   It can be abrasive to Copper Chef’s nonstick coating.
3. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
4. Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any surface.

Storage

When storing your Copper Chef cookware, avoid stacking and crowding it in cabinets or drawers. This could cause scratches. We recommend a cookware rack or pegboard to provide convenient, safe storage.
If you must stack your nonstick cookware, always nest the cookware carefully.

General Operating Instructions

The Measuring Cup

Using the proper amount of water during the cooking process is the key to perfect results. The cup is clearly marked for soft-, medium-, and hard-boiled eggs.
The reverse side has the measurement for omelettes and poached eggs. When cooking eggs in the shell (hard, medium, and soft), first pierce the bottom of the egg with a small hole. Then, place the eggs with the puncture facing up. Afterward, place the cap back on the Measuring Cup.

CAUTION: The pin is very sharp. Use caution when puncturing the egg.

General Operating Instructions

The chart is for large eggs. Time and water levels will change when cooking more than four eggs.

Tips & Tricks

• Piercing the eggs prevents them from cracking and results in uniform cooking.
• The easiest way to peel hard-boiled eggs is to blanch them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Then, crack the shell by gently tapping on a countertop or sink. Rinse the egg with cold tap water while gently peeling the shell.

Smart Cooker

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The Copper Chef Smart Cooker will provide you many years of delicious family meals and memories around the dinner table. But before you begin, it’s very important that you read this entire manual, making certain that you are totally familiar with this Unit’s operation and precautions.

CONGRATULATIONS

You are about to discover the latest innovation in perfectly prepared home cooked meals.
For decades, our culinary design division has created some of the most useful and popular kitchen appliances for worldwide home use. The Copper Chef Smart Cooker is the latest in our line.

The Copper Chef Smart Cooker Combines Smart Multicooker Induction Heating technology and Copper Chef Ceramic Square Cookware into one countertop unit. This Unit offers 18 preset modes to enhance your cooking experience.

How Does it Work?

The induction cooking process heats a cooking vessel through the use of magnetic induction instead of by thermal conduction from an open flame or an electrical heating element. Because inductive heating directly heats the vessel, rapid increases in temperature can be achieved and maintained.
When magnetic metal-based cookware is used, the magnetic field transfers to the bottom surface of the cookware, resulting in high heat sufficient for cooking.
The induction cooking method has heating performance comparable to that of a gas burner, but it is significantly more energy efficient.
In order for the process to work, a cooking vessel must be made of or contain a magnetic metal such as cast iron or some stainless steel.

Perfect Cooking Results

Maintaining specific cooking time and temperature is as important to a good recipe as the ingredients.
With the Copper Chef Smart Cooker, you can set and adjust the temperature and time to suit your recipe.
No more constant adjusting of the flame height and no more guesswork. The Copper Chef Smart Cooker delivers perfect cooking results without the use of dangerous open flames, exposed electrical elements, excessive heat, or wasted energy

Recommendations & Tips

Re-Season Your Pan: With repeated use and washing, the characteristics of ceramic coating may fade, but you may revitalize the coating by re-seasoning your cookware:

1. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to a clean paper towel. Rub the oiled paper towel all over the entire INTERIOR surface of the pan.
2. Put the pan over low heat on the stove top for 30 secs. to 1 min., removing the pan if the oil starts to smoke.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
4. Once the pan has cooled, use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe away any excess oil. Then, your pan is ready to use.

For best results, re-season your pan after a few uses or after cleaning it in a dishwasher.

Proper Cooking Utensils: To prevent scratching  the coating, we recommend using nonmetal utensils with your Copper Chef cookware. Do not cut food on the Copper Chef cookware using sharp utensils, such as forks, knives, mashers, or whisks, that can scratch the cooking surface.

Removing Stubborn Residue: When food is burned on the Copper Chef cookware, a stubborn black residue may remain. If regular cleaning does not loosen it, soak in hot water and 1 tbsp. of non-lemon detergent for 15 mins. Allow the water to become lukewarm before you drain and rinse. Wipe with a plastic spatula or nonabrasive sponge to loosen residue. Repeat if necessary

Getting Started

Cooking Charts & Tips

The times and temperatures on this chart show the basic default settings for the Unit.
As you become familiar with the Copper Chef Smart Cooker, you will be able to make minor adjustments to suit your taste.

Note: The Slow Cook, Sous Vide, Yogurt, Manual, and Sauce presets often require manual time and temperature settings.

Internal Temperature Meat Chart

This chart should be used along with a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of cooked meats. Be sure to review the USDA’s food safety standards.

Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
• Flipping or turning larger foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are evenly cooked.

Cooking Charts & Tips

Sous Vide

What is Sous Vide?
In the Sous Vide method of cooking, food is sealed inside a plastic bag immersed in water and cooked at a lower temperature.
Sous Vide allows for greater control and evenly cooked results.
The Sous Vide method holds food at the perfect level of doneness for much longer than regular cooking methods would allow.

What are the basic steps?
The food must be in a sealed plastic bag or vacuum-sealed bag.
Submerge pouches into the water bath after the liquid has reached your desired temperature.
Cook for at least the minimum amount of time called for in your recipe.
Remove each pouch carefully from the water bath. Note: Meat, poultry, or fish can be seared in a hot pan to create a crisp surface immediately before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use any type of pan to cook in my Copper Chef Smart Cooker?
   No, use only the original Copper Chef Deep Square pan with induction base!
2. Does induction cooking require special techniques?
   You will need to familiarize yourself with the settings used for different purposes. A common problem for new users is that in the beginning they may overcook food as they don’t realize how much heat is generated so quickly. If you are new to induction cooking, we recommend practicing by boiling a pot of water. Repeat this several times with different levels of water on different heat settings. You will soon get a good feel for how quickly the pot heats up. This absolutely can change the way you cook – if you are busy and you need to attend to another task, you should set the Unit to OFF until you return. When you return, the Pan heats up instantly.
3. Does the Unit get hot?
   The Smart Cooker itself barely gets warm, except directly beneath the cooking vessel. As soon as the cooking vessel is removed from the Smart Cooker the element turns off and automatically cools down. However, the surface just beneath the pot takes a bit more time to cool… avoid touching it.

DISPLAY ERROR INDICATOR

DO NOT USE OR ATTEMPT TO REPAIR A MALFUNCTIONING UNIT. Contact customer service for further information.

NOTE: E6 error may be caused by too little liquid in hot pan. The Unit will display E6. Shut off Unit, turn on Unit, add more liquid or turn down heat setting

Cleaning & Storage

Easy Maintenance

• When cleaning the Copper Chef Pan, allow the Pan to cool completely before washing. Never immerse hot cookware in water as this will cause irreparable warping.
• Cleaning your Copper Chef Pan is quick and easy. After each use, wash it in hot water with mild soap or dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel. If any food particles remain, fill the cookware with hot water and liquid dish detergent, soak until the water becomes lukewarm, and use a sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles.
• Do not use steel wool or metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches.
• Hand wash the Unit Base. DO NOT submerge the base in water. To hand wash, wipe the inside and outside of the Unit Base with a clean, moist cloth.
• Make sure that the device is properly cleaned before storing it in a dry place.

Dishwasher Safe

Although the entire Copper Chef Collection is dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning by hand. Handwashing preserves the life of the cookware and helps to maintain its appearance. If cleaning in the dishwasher, follow the suggested guidelines:

1. Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and flatware may mark the surface of your Copper Chef cookware.
2. Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware. It can be abrasive to Copper Chef’s nonstick coating.
3. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
4. Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any surface.

Note: Unplug the Magnetic Power Cord prior to cleaning the Copper Chef Smart Cooker. Do not use any caustic cleaning agents or abrasive scrubbing pads on the Unit.

• To protect yourself from electric shock, NEVER immerse the device, or the Power Cord in water or other liquids.
• DO NOT use any petroleum products, which will damage the outer Unit housing and the Control Panel.
• DO NOT use/store any flammable, acid, or alkaline materials or substances near the device, as this may reduce the service life of the device and lead to deflagration (fire) when the device is turned on.
• DO NOT stack heavy objects on top of the Unit. Excessive weight could possibly damage the Unit.

The Copper Chef Electric Skillet will steam, sauté, and fry meats, fish, seafood, vegetables, and casseroles without the need for oils or butter thanks to the exclusive Cerami-Tech non-stick cooking surface. Nothing sticks so clean ups are a breeze.
The secret to this Unit’s perfect performance is a result of the Temperature Control Thermostat that maintains a precise temperature from 120°F to 425°F. The lower setting is perfect for keeping your food warm in a buffet setting.

The Unit’s 12″ x 12″ capacity gives the Copper Chef Electric Skillet 25% more cooking surface than other units.

Before First Use: Wash and rinse Glass Serving Lid and cooking surface with warm water and a mild soapy detergent. Never use abrasive cleaners or metal scrubbers on this Unit. Never immerse the Unit, the Temperature Control Thermostat, cord or plug in water or other liquids.

Important: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

1. Insert the Temperature Control Thermostat with the Temperature Control Dial facing up, into the accessory jack located on the side of the unit below the handle. Push in all the way to be sure it is making full contact.

3. Set cooking temperature by aligning the Temperature Control Dial with the On/Off Arrow Indicator on the Temperature Control Thermostat (page 5, #5). Arrow will light when temperature is selected (page 5, #7). Light will go on and off during the cooking process when at set temperature.
4. Following your recipe, place ingredients in the Skillet. The oversize cooking surface will hold enough ingredients for a family sized “one pot” meal. Make sure the Unit is on a stable, level heat resistant surface located near a dedicated electrical outlet.
5. Add the Glass Serving Lid to seal in flavor and juices if desired. Monitor the cooking process according to the cooking time of your recipe. Do not leave the Unit unattended while cooking.
6. When cooking is complete, you can turn the Temperature Control Dial to “0”, cutting off all heat or you may keep the dial set on the warm setting between 120°F – 200°F to keep the food warm.
