Advantages of the entirely NEW
Sunbeam
CONTROLLED HEAT
Automatic FRYPAN

Handle of the Sunbeam showing Fry-Guide and Heat Control Panel

Up to now you have been able to get perfect baking and cooking temperatures in the oven of your stove because of automatic heat control, but when frying or cooking on the top of the stove you have never known whether the heat was too high or too low, which often results in cooking failures. The temperature of the open flame will vary. Unless the heating element is imbedded in the frying pan you will not get accurate transfer of the heat.

Now with the marvelous new Sunbeam Automatic FRYPAN you can fry and cook at the correct, automatically controlled heat every time. The Sunbeam’s highly accurate thermostatic control maintains the proper CONTROLLED HEAT for perfect cooking and frying results without constant watching. The shortening is always at just the right temperature, resulting in less grease absorption into the foods. Chicken, pork chops, fish, hamburgers, etc., are tastier, more flavorful, with their natural juices sealed in.

Exclusive Fry-Guide

The Sunbeam FRYPAN has the easy-to-see Fry-Guide and Heat Control Panel right in the handle, always at your fingertips. (See illustration above) This Guide gives you the recommended frying temperature for your favorite dishes and completely eliminates guesswork and failures. The indicator light flashes off automatically when the Sunbeam reaches the proper temperature and flashes on when temperature drops.

Water-Sealed Element

Another great advantage of the Sunbeam is that it has a controlled WATER-SEALED heating element—a wonderful new invention by Sunbeam. This invention makes it possible for you to immerse the entire pan in water up to the control panel of the handle for quick, easy washing.

Convenient Square Shape

The Sunbeam’s exclusive square design makes it ideal for frying bacon, eggs, pancakes, hashed brown potatoes, etc. You can cook more in the same area than you can in a round pan. Also, small quantities cook well in it. The Sunbeam Automatic FRYPAN is constructed of durable, heavy cast aluminum. Its attractive, modern construction will make it an asset to any kitchen.

How to Use Your New Sunbeam
Automatic FRYPAN

1. Plug cord into a 110-120 volt AC electrical outlet.

2. Set temperature control to temperature recommended on frying chart, page 4, or in recipe. The indicator light will go on. When it goes off, proper frying temperature has been reached. Light will continue to go on and off during frying.

3. Add recommended amount of shortening when unit is preheated. In most cases, less shortening may be used, if desired. When very small amounts of shortening are used, tilt FRYPAN slightly to coat entire surface. Fry or cook food as directed in recipes.

4. When food is fried or cooked as desired, set heat control at “off” position or low point in warm range.

Suggestions for GOOD RESULTS with Fried Foods

1. Use any type of shortening, such as vegetable shortening, salad oil, lard, bacon drippings, butter, margarine, etc. Melt before adding food. Use sufficient shortening to keep foods from sticking to bottom of pan.

2. Follow time and temperature directed on frying chart, varying to suit your taste, size and quantity of foods.

3. Avoid overcrowding foods when browning. When frying large quantities of chicken, etc., brown pieces without overcrowding. Remove to tray or plate while browning remaining food. Then return entire quantity to the Sunbeam and cover to finish. Wait for indicator light to go off before frying another batch.

4. Breading particles which adhere to the bottom of the FRYPAN may be removed with a wooden spoon.

5. Keep paper toweling handy for draining fried foods such as bacon, sausages, etc. Bring the Sunbeam right to the table to keep foods piping hot. Makes an attractive serving unit.

6. After cooking or frying for time indicated, test for doneness with skewer or single tine of fork. Foods should be brown and cooked through well.

7. Foods such as chicken, chops, croquettes, etc. may be coated with any of the following: seasoned flour, beaten egg diluted with milk or water and fine dry crumbs, cornmeal or cereals. Breading gives foods a crisp, brown crust and moist interior with less shortening absorbed into the food.

Easy to keep clean

Disconnect the electric cord from the outlet. Because the Sunbeam FRYPAN has a water-sealed element you can immerse the entire pan in hot sudsy water up to the control panel, for quick, easy washing. Then rinse in clean, hot water and dry. Steel wool scouring soap pads may be used to remove particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Do not scrape with sharp objects.

DO NOT STORE IN OVEN or ever put in OVEN because oven heat will damage parts of plastic handle.

Sunbeam FRY-GUIDE

The foods listed on this chart are those indicated on the Fry-Guide on the handle. See other recipes on pages six and seven.

Time and temperature will vary to suit taste, size and quantity of food. (Foods taken directly from refrigerator to cook or fry will take longer than foods at room temperature.) Simmering point may vary from 200° to 220° in individual Frypans. Adjust dial to keep liquid bubbling when light is on.

ADDITIONAL RECIPES

MEAT BALLS (Serves 4): Combine in large mixing bowl: 1 lb. ground round or rump beef (or ¾ lb. beef or veal and ¼ lb. pork), ¼ cup chopped parsley, 1 tsp. salt, ⅛ tsp. pepper, 1 egg, beaten, 1 clove garlic, chopped fine (optional), 1 cup soft, fine bread crumbs, 3 tbsp. water, 2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese, (optional). Mix with a fork until blended. Shape into balls of desired size. Preheat Sunbeam to 340°, add 2 tbsp. fat or salad oil. Add meat balls, brown on all sides. When all are browned, add canned tomato sauce or your favorite spaghetti sauce recipe—enough to cover meat balls. Simmer at 200°—½ hour. Serve over hot, cooked and drained spaghetti. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

Variation: Italian or other sausage may be browned with meat balls and added to sauce.

MEAT BALLS IN CREAM GRAVY: Prepare meat balls as above except use 1 tbsp. grated onion instead of garlic. When browned, add 1 10½ oz. can condensed cream of mushroom soup diluted with an equal quantity of milk. Simmer, stirring frequently. Serve over hot, cooked and drained noodles.

BREADED VEAL CHOPS, CUTLETS OR STEAK: Veal should not be over ½″ thick. Flatten cutlets to ¼″ thick, cut into serving pieces. Rub with cut clove of garlic or brush with French dressing. Dip in well seasoned flour then into 1 egg beaten with ¼ cup milk, then into fine, dry bread or cracker crumbs, coating well on all sides. To make coating adhere better, chill ½ hr. Preheat Sunbeam to 340°, add 3 tbsp. fat or oil. Fry until browned on both sides—turn dial to 260°, fry and turn until tender—about 20 minutes. Serve with tomato or mushroom sauce.

FOR LAMB CHOPS OR STEAKS: Pan-Broil in preheated Sunbeam at 340° without using fat. Brown on both sides, continue frying and turning until done as desired—about 15 minutes. Stand thick chops on edge to brown outside fat. Season and serve hot with pan gravy poured over chops.

OMELET: (Serves 2) Preheat Sunbeam to 360°, add 1½ tbsp. butter or margarine. Tilt Sunbeam to grease bottom and lower sides. Meanwhile, beat together with egg beater just to blend: 4 eggs, 4 tbsp. cold water, ½ tsp. salt, dash of pepper. Pour into Sunbeam. Turn dial to 300°. As omelet sets around edge, lift with spatula and tilt Sunbeam so uncooked mixture spreads underneath. Repeat until omelet is creamy and set. Spread filling such as, grated cheese, jelly, chopped cooked liver & sautéed mushrooms or 1 cup chopped cooked ham or tongue, over half of omelet. Then loosen edge of omelet all around with spatula and fold over filling using two turners. Loosen bottom with turner and slide out onto heated platter. Garnish with parsley and tomato wedges. Serve at once.

POTATO PANCAKES: (Makes about 10 pancakes) Sift together into mixing bowl ½ cup sifted all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. baking powder, ⅛ tsp. white pepper. Add 1 egg, unbeaten, ½ cup milk, 2 tbsp. melted butter or margarine, 1 tbsp. grated onion (optional), 1½ cups finely grated raw white potato. (Grate potato just before ready to use, as it will turn dark on standing.) Beat with electric mixer on slow speed until blended. Preheat Sunbeam to 380° using small amount of fat to grease. Drop potato mixture by tablespoons into Sunbeam, spreading out, fry until crisp and brown on one side; then turn; brown other side (3-4 min.). Drain on paper toweling. Serve at once with applesauce and bacon or ham.

APPLE PANCAKES: Use your standard pancake recipe or packaged mix. Add ½ tsp. cinnamon and 1 cup finely chopped raw apple to the batter. (Calling for 2 cups flour or mix)

POT ROAST

Wipe meat with a damp cloth. Dip meat in flour. Meanwhile, preheat Sunbeam to 360°, add the 2 tbsp. fat. Melt, add meat. Brown well on all sides, turning as necessary. Pour off excess fat. Add salt, celery salt and pepper. Spread chili sauce, if used, and onions over meat, add water (omit chili sauce, if wine is used) Cover Sunbeam, turn dial to 200°. Simmer until tender. Remove meat to heated platter and keep warm. Add enough water to drippings in Sunbeam to make 2 cups. Mix ¼ cup flour and ½ cup cold water together to a smooth paste. Set dial to 300°. When liquid is boiling, add mixture slowly while stirring. Cook until thickened and smooth. Season further, if desired. A few drops of bottled gravy sauce may be added to give browner color. Serve gravy over pot roast. Mashed or boiled potatoes, noodles or potato pancakes go well with this.

POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

About 45 minutes before time is up add: 6 medium carrots, scraped and cut in half lengthwise, 4 potatoes, peeled and cut in half. Sprinkle with salt. Set dial at 320° until boiling, then reduce to 220° again for remainder of time. Prepare gravy as above, removing meat and vegetables to heated platter. Sprinkle vegetables with paprika, garnish with parsley. Pass gravy separately.

Note: Small pork, veal or lamb roasts (3-4 lbs.) may be prepared similar to pot roast. Brown well on all sides at 360° (10 to 15 minutes) using fat in Sunbeam for lean meats. When browned, turn fat side down, season, add onion, if desired. Turn dial to 220°-240°, depending on size of roast. A slight frying action should be heard while light is on—only fat, not juices, should accumulate in Sunbeam while roasting. Turn up heat slightly if excess juices form. Turn roast, when half of roasting time is up. Continue roasting until meat is done and tender. Roast pork when done should be gray with no trace of pink.

Approximate roasting time: (unthawed meat as taken from refrigerator)

SWISS STEAK

Lay meat on a breadboard and pound flour into both sides until flour is absorbed by steak. Use a meat hammer or edge of heavy saucer for this. Preheat Sunbeam to 360°, add fat.
