Questions & Answers about Can Cooker Outdoor Cooking Device
Do I need to completely fill the CanCooker with food in order to use it?
You do NOT have to fill the CanCookers all the way with food. You can fill it a quarter, half or 3/4ths full. You will still need to add 12 ounces and no more than 36 oz. of liquid. Adding different types of liquids for steam (ex: Mountain Dew, vinegar, wine,etc.) will enhance the flavor of the food. Go experiment and enjoy.

Is the CanCooker a steamer or a pressure cooker?
The CanCooker is a steamer and uses the basic principals as a convection oven. It produces a deep penetrating convection steam that cooks food to perfection. There is a small hole in the lid so that it is passive and there is no pressure built up. You can open and close the lid at anytime.

How do I clean the CanCooker?
The CanCookers are easy to clean. You can wash them with soap and water or add an inch of water back to the can and bring to a steam. Do NOT recommend washing the CanCooker in a dishwasher.
(Source: Supplied by Manufacturer)Can I use the CanCooker on a turkey burner?
We do not suggest using the CanCookers on or in a turkey fryer or fish burner. They are not an ideal heat source as it is hard to regulate the temperature and could overcook or burn the food.
Best heat source should be able to vary the heat to a lower temperature once steam is coming out of the vent hole for best steam cooking results.
(Source: Enhanced by BackyardCity.com)What is the CanCooker made of?
The CanCookers are made of 1060 food grade aluminum. They are lined with a ceramic, anodized coating which is important as it means the actual aluminum never touches your food. Aluminum has the second best heat transfer next to copper and also makes the cans extremely lightweight and portable.

Steps in using the CanCooker Steamer.
FOUR STEPS TO A GREAT STEAMED MEAL PREPARED IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS
-
SELECT YOUR INGREDIENTS:
The beauty of the CanCooker is that you can prepare just about anything your imagination can cook up! Place the food items you want to steam cook into the CanCooker. Add 12-ounces of water or beer, and seal the lid using the dual riveted clamps on the side of the pot.
-
PLACE CANCOOKER ON HEAT SOURCE:
Once your food has been placed in the cooker and the lid has been sealed, place the CanCooker onto your heat source (campfire, burner, stove top), and let stand until steam is visibly exiting the hole located on the lid. Allow the CanCooker to continue boiling for an additional 20-35 minutes. Remove the CanCooker from its heat source and let stand for an additional 10 minutes. PRO-TIP: The pot and its contents will be HOT. Never touch any portion of the pot or its handles without oven mitts.
-
REMOVE FOOD AND SERVE:
After standing for approximately 10 minutes, carefully disengage the clamps and place food into a deep serving plate or aluminum foil-type serving container. CAUTION: Lid and contents will be HOT! - Always use oven mitts when handling. Now, simply place your freshly prepared, steam cooked meal on a plate and enjoy! Season to taste.
-
CLEAN AND STORE:
The CanCooker cleans easily with detergent soap and water and stores conveniently in its very own storage container. We recommend to lightly rub the bottom and sides of the CanCooker with bar soap prior to placing on its heat source. This will help to easily remove the black soot which may develop during the cooking process.
PRO-TIP: Lightly spray the inside of the cooking chamber with vegetable spray before placing food into pot. This will aid in the clean-up process once the meal is completed.
