I bought this a year ago, but lost the instruction pamphlet. Can anyone tell me how long I preheat on each side and the heat setting on the stove. Also, how much batter and for how long do I cook on each side. Thanks.

The instructions state to heat on "each side" for 3 minutes over medium to medium-high heat and to cook for 2-3 minutes. I lifted the lid and gently pressed the waffle the first time to be sure it was set and firm. I also found that once they waffles started to lightly brown they were done.

I can't remember if it came with instructions, but if you can't find any here's a good website for them: http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/tipsandtechniques/ht/Season_Tagine.htmYou probably need to get a diffuser (inexepensive) if you want to use on the stovetop

Ours was brand new and is still working fantastic after well over a year of service. We use it at least 4-5 times a week. The quick cook setting works perfect if your in a hurry as well, but generally we use the standard setting.

Instructions that came with it recommend not using larger than a 10" skillet. I use a 2" deep fryer 10" skillet and A brabd of dutch oven like the expensive pans because they are large and sides angle in to fit inside the largest ring in the PIC. I haven't had any issues with the size at all. I have noticed the heated surface is hotter in the center and is less hot around outside edge. When I am browning a large amount of hamburger in my 2" deep skillet, I have to move meat from outside to inside where it will brown faster unless I up the temp. It will cook, but not as quickly as inside ring. I guess that is true with most burners, but I do wish Nuwave would make a 12". Bottom line is the burner really works and is worth purchasing. I have a microwave/convection oven, a 6 qt Nesco Roaster and this Nuwave PIC. I live in a 2 yr old RV and have never used my stove or oven.

I lovemy cook top when it worked - I have been trying to Fagor to repair mine for over a year - worse customer service I have ever seen. Simmer would be a lower setting, just so the liquid is still bubbleing a little bit. I would only preheat pan for eggs about 15 - 20 seconds on a medium to med-high setting as the pan get hot quickly. The products cooks great and heats quickly (if it is working). Trial and error will get you there I really loved the conducton cooking but am frustrated with Fagor - hope your never breaks.

From the directions the stove heats up to 300 degrees. I've never tried to actually cook anything in it. However it gets pretty hot. I think my husband has cooked hot dogs in it. which is still sort of reheating.

Your experience highlights one major flaw in the marketing of the Fagor 12 quart oven. No detailed information on temperature and other cooking requirements. In all honesty my experience has been through trial and error. Fagor's main competitor in the US is Nuwave. Their oven has much more specific directions on cooking procedures. I would suggest you contact Fagor on their customer support number in the manual and query their food prepartion rep. Sorry I can't help you with more specific information but I can thorougly sympathize with your experience as it mirrors my experiences too. When I do get satisfactory results I note the rack/temperture/time in a notebook that I keep near the oven for future reference. Good luck!

Nancy - I did not see a light...but the temperature control is so very accurate that you will be sure of the cooking process. Just use a small dial temp that winds to the # of minutes you need. That's what I usually do...Walmart's has them for 5-7 dollars. It is SOOOOOO accurate...better than your electric stove...possibly gas oven as well. Good luck to you. Theresa

I have had this pan for over a year now and love it more every time I use it. Just give it a good scrubbing with hot soapy water then dry it off. Put it on the stove top and put a layer of lard in the bottom and let it heat up slowly. Keep wiping it with lard if it gets dry and in no time you will have a pan that you will never let go.

I'm sorry. That's never happened with ours. I wonder if the temperature you cook with has something to do with it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck in finding the answer.

I have only tried using that option one time, and I admittedly had some difficulty figuring out how to use it. You have to put in the pounds of the item, and I think I may have ended up having it in too long. It actually did start to cook a little. Sorry I'm not more help on this question.

I don't know if you have purchased already but my overheated so much I don't use it. I called to have it replaced which they did and still generates so muchheat I don't use this one either. I have a cover that comes down to cover my burners in the stove and that is the only place I can use it with confidence that it will not burn anything around it. Be careful. jfkflyguy-Dan

YouTube it! I usually wipe oil on all over put it in the oven and turn the stove on at 500F 30 minutes; then turn it down to 300F until oil burns off without smoke! I repeat at least twice. Remember to open you windows and fans! Enjoy! WITH PROSPERITY THERE IS NO WAR!

Did your oven come with a recipe book? This is where you can read about cooking times and temperature settings. All of the recipes in the book have the temp. setting and cooking time. The user manual that I have only has a oven temperature comparison chart in it. The quick and easy cooking guide chart, if you have that, uses the Hi temperature setting for all of the foods listed. I use Hi for everything, and look at the cooking guide chart to get an idea of how long it should take. The recipe book suggests using a temp. setting of 5 or 7 when cooking a thick roast or deep casserole to prevent them from browning to fast. You can keep food warm at 1 or 2. Everything else seems to be on Hi. The triple combo cooking technology makes the food cook faster even though the oven only gets to 350 degrees.

Cwun, sorry i made a mistake. My earlier reply was for a pressure cooker i bought. This oven always worked fine. No problems. Whenever i want to cook healthy and fast i use it. Remember this oven uses hot air generated from a special lamp to cook. For the time of ownership see the date of my review and add 1 month more. I highly recommend. Good luck.

I would just suggest from here on out, just use silicone spatulas to cook in it. I don't even use wooden stuff, just silicone. It's the gentlest on the surface. Always use just a little bit of oil, I usually cook with coconut oil or ghee. Sprays will damage the surface. And I always wait until the pan has cooled before washing. Sometimes I'll take a paper towel and just wipe it clean and leave it on the stove to cool. I also have a very gentle non-scratch dish sponge and as suggested, I use Dawn liquid soap. These were all on the packaging and it works pretty well for me. Hope that helps with the longevity of your pan! I would just suggest from here on out, just use silicone spatulas to cook in it.

A huge THANK YOU to the person who asked this question and to the person who answered it! I read the instructions in the manual several times and found nothing about the necessity of running a cycle to burn away the oils on the pan before making a loaf of bread. Luckily, I read this post when I searched for information about the machine. I had never even seen a breadmaker before I bought this West Bend Hi-Rise, and I didn't know that I should program it to go through an hour-long bake cycle prior to making my first loaf of bread. This should be listed at the beginning of the manual followed by instructions telling how to do it. A huge THANK YOU to the person who asked this question and to the person who answered it!
