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 and 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:
- Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and flatware may mark the surface of your Copper Chef cookware.
- Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware.
It can be abrasive to Copper Chef’s nonstick coating. - We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
- 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.
