Practical advice
Oils and fats
• Always use oil that can withstand high
temperature.
• Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
• Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown
after cooking.
Preparing the food
• Whatever the recipe used, the food must be
perfectly dry. this will avoid overflowing and
make the oil or fat last longer.
• When preparing potato-based food (chips,
crisps, etc.), cut them up and then wash
them in cold water to remove the starch. Dry
them carefully. This will stop them sticking
together.
