How
To Cook A Crepe
(Using a small skillet)
1. Heat the skillet, For electric stoves, use a medium high heat, for gas
use a medium to low (this allows you to have your hand at 20 cm. from the
heat). Heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until a drop of water splutters.
2. Pour enough mix of crepe mix in a big dish, about 2cm.deep.
3. Pour some vegetable oil and lightly grease all the skillet (the part that
is in contact with the stove) you can use a paper towel to do it. If there
is too much oil take it with a paper towel before you add the mix.
4. Keeping the skillet level, dip in the mix covering only the bottom. Raise
the skillet and move around the mix, move the skillet so the mix covers all
the holes and is uniform, then place the skillet over the stove.
5. Fry the crepe until the borders are browned. Then remove from the skillet
and place it in a dish with the browned side facing down. To maintain the
crepe wet, cover the dish immediately with a cover.
6. Repeat these steps until you finish the mix. Lightly oil the skillet so
it doesn't stick

Guide
To Cooking Vegetables
Select the correct size pan, that which can be filled 2/3 to capacity. Add
water to cover the vegetables; cover pan, shake and drain. This restores water
lost by the vegetables in transit from the garden to the kitchen.
Cover pan with the Ultra Temp® valve open and place pan over medium to
medium-high heat. When whistle sounds and thermometer registers over 1650
F (in the center cooking range of the thermometer), close valve and reduce
heat to low to create the seal.
Begin timing vegetables. Temperature should remain in the center cooking range.
Frozen Vegetables Cooking
Do not rinse the frozen vegetables; just cook them as they are packaged.
Follow the same steps except for the first step (put your frozen vegetables
in your pan and add 4 tablespoons of water).
Note: Larger, dense vegetables such as potatoes, whole carrots or sweet potatoes
and beets usually require the addition of 3 to 4 tablespoons of water to ensure
adequate moisture.
