Cookware Tip

Do not Peek. Though tempting, especially at Christmas time, resist the urge to open the lid and peek inside. Once the cover is opened, the vapor seal is broken. This could possibly lengthen cooking time and even cause your vegetables to overcook. If you choose to flip your meat to brown both sides make sure to do this quickly and then place the lid back on the pan. If you do remove the lid for any reason and the food is not cooked completely, cover the pan, and add 1 or 2 Tbsp. of water to the rim to reestablish the vapor seal more quickly.   Happy cooking!
