The NATIONAL PRESTO Presto 06009 Kitchen Kettle XL is a 10-quart multi-cooker for preparing large meals, with a PFAS-free ceramic nonstick finish inside and out.

• Adjustable Control Master heat control maintains cooking temperatures automatically — keeps temperature management built into the cooker.
• Multi-use basket handles deep frying, steaming and blanching — lets one accessory serve several cooking methods.
• Deep fries up to ten cups — accommodates large batches of chicken, fish, fries or donuts.
• Twice the size of the classic Kitchen Kettle — offers extra capacity for crowd-size cooking.
• The cooker and cover are fully immersible with the heat control removed — makes immersion cleaning possible.

When one appliance needs to handle different cooking jobs and generous portions, a multi-cooker can make meal preparation more flexible. The Kitchen Kettle XL is designed for everyday cooking as well as larger tasks such as steaming seafood or blanching vegetables for canning and freezing. Its range of cooking methods covers both complete dishes and individual ingredients, from rice and pasta to roasts and vegetables.

What can the Kitchen Kettle XL cook?

The Kitchen Kettle XL can steam, stew, roast, boil and deep fry. Its adjustable Control Master heat control maintains cooking temperatures automatically, while the large-diameter cooking surface provides room for browning. The combination suits meals that call for different methods, whether you are making a stew, boiling ingredients or browning food as part of a meal.

The cooker can prepare soups, stews, roasts, ham, rice, vegetables, pasta and casseroles. That range makes it useful for both one-pot dishes and cooking ingredients in larger quantities. Its 10-quart (9.5 L) capacity gives you room to prepare food for a crowd, while the XL model has twice the capacity of the classic Kitchen Kettle.

• Use it for roasting, boiling, stewing, steaming and deep frying.
• Prepare crowd-size dishes such as casseroles, soups and stews.
• The broad cooking surface is designed for convenient browning.

What is the multi-use basket for?

The included multi-use basket is made for deep frying, steaming and blanching. For draining, hook the basket onto the rim of the cooker; this holds it in place above the cooking vessel. The XL capacity is also suited to steaming seafood and blanching vegetables for canning or freezing.

For deep frying, the Kitchen Kettle XL can handle up to ten cups (2.4 L) at a time. That capacity is intended for larger batches of foods such as chicken, fish, fries and donuts. For steaming or blanching, the basket keeps those cooking methods available without changing appliances.

• Basket use includes deep frying, steaming and blanching.
• Hook the basket onto the cooker rim for draining.
• Useful for seafood steaming and vegetable blanching for canning or freezing.

How do the cooking surface and cleaning work?

The cooking surface has a PFAS-free ceramic nonstick finish on the inside and outside of the cooker. The multi-cooker and tempered glass cover are fully immersible when the heat control is removed. The nonstick cooking surface is designed to make cleaning easier, and its large diameter also supports convenient browning.

Remove the heat control before immersing the cooker and cover. The transparent tempered glass cover lets you view the cooking, while the nonstick finish extends across the cooker’s interior and exterior. The product information gives an immersion-cleaning option with the control removed; it does not provide a dishwasher-care instruction.

• Tempered glass cover.
• PFAS-free ceramic nonstick finish inside and out.
• Fully immersible cooker and cover when the heat control is removed.

The Kitchen Kettle XL is suited to cooks who want one appliance for a broad mix of cooking methods, larger meals and batch preparation. Its 10-quart capacity, multi-use basket and automatically maintained cooking temperatures support those uses in a single multi-cooker.
