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.

Cooking

• Do not overfill the basket. This will cause the
oil temperature dropping and make the food
greasy.

• Do not keep the oil at high temperature for
long periods. This will deteriorate the oil.

• Set the temperature controller to the lowest
temperature while waiting between two
batches.

• Do not leave the cooked food in the basket in
the draining position too long. The vapors
could cause the food to lose its crispness and
go soft.

• Frozen food can be cooked in the basket
without being defrosted.

After cooking

• Change the fat or oil regularly, after
approximately 10 batches.
