COOKING WITH YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT

Fries - Twice Fried

When FRIES - TWICE FRIED mode is
selected and confirmed by pressing the
SCROLL/SELECT knob,
1ST FRY/2ND FRY displays.

1. Select 1ST FRY by highlighting and

pressing SCROLL/SELECT knob to
confirm. 1ST FRY flashes to indicate it
is the selected option. Once the selection
has been confirmed, the unselected
option display turns off. After FRIES ­TWICE FRIED and 1ST FRY have been
selected, the fryer will automatically set
the time and temperature.

NOTE

For FRIES - TWICE FRIED, FRESH
is the only available option as frozen
fries have been precooked.

2. Start the heating process by pushing

the START/CANCEL button. The
display will turn orange to indicate
heating. FRIES - TWICE FRIED, FRESH,
1ST FRY, HEATING and the actual
temperature of the oil will be displayed.

The deep fryer will now preheat the oil.
Once the deep fryer has reached the
correct temperature, the deep fryer will
beep once to indicate it is ready to cook.
PRESS TIMER will display.

3. Lower the basket of fresh fries into the

oil and press the TIMER button. When
the TIMER button is pressed, the timer
will start to count down, and the cooking
process begins.

NOTE

The fryer is programmed to heat to
the correct overshoot temperature
because when the cooler fries are
lowered into the oil, the temperature
of the oil will fall. The overshoot
temperature ensures that the fries
cook at the optimal temperature,
even after they initially cause the oil
temperature to drop.

When the timer finishes counting down,
the alarm will sound to signal the end of
the cooking cycle. PRESS TIMER, FRIES ­TWICE FRIED, 1ST FRY and FRESH, the
time and temperature will be displayed.

4. Push the TIMER button to stop the

alarm and raise the basket. The deep
fryer will automatically begin to reheat.
Once the deep fryer has reached the
correct temperature, it is ready
to proceed.

NOTE

In FRIES - TWICE FRIED mode it
is possible to adjust the timer and
temperature once the timer has
started but it is not possible to switch
between 1ST FRY and 2ND FRY.

At this point, the fryer is able to proceed to
either the 2ND FRY or to another 1ST FRY
of a second batch of fries, depending on the
total quantity to be fried. FRIES - TWICE
FRIED, FRESH, 1ST FRY, PRESS TIMER, the
time and cooking temperature display.

NOTE

When cooking fries using the
Twice Fried method, it is not
recommended to cook with the
lid on due to the possible build up of
excess condensation.

14

NOTE

If a second batch of fries is to be
cooked, we recommend to 1ST FRY
both batches and then proceed to
the 2ND FRY for both batches. This
process means less heating and
cooling of oil, providing better results
and is more time efficient.

PAge heAder.....

plate lined with paper towel to cool.

2. Follow the instructions for

1ST FRY above.

Custom Mode

The CUSTOM cooking mode has a default
setting of 5:00 minutes and 320°F. This
can be changed by turning the SCROLL/
SELECT knob to CUSTOM and then
changing either the time or temperature or
both. If the default settings in custom mode
are changed, the deep fryer will remember
the last settings that have been selected,
even after being unplugged.

NOTE

If using the lid during and
immediately after cooking, steam may
rise through the filter vent openings in
the lid. This is normal, however avoid
touching this area during cooking
to prevent steam burns as the steam
generated is at a high temperature.

As the basket gets very hot, only use
the handle to hold or carry the basket
for serving. Ensure the basket handle
is locked into position.

Solid oil products, such as butter,
margarine or animal fats of any kind
should not be used in the deep fryer as
they may overheat and cause a
fire hazard.

Water and oil do not mix – never add
any water or other liquid to hot oil.
Even small amounts of water will
cause the oil to splatter.

The deep fryer will generate a lot of
heat and steam during and after the
cooking process. To prevent the risk
of burns, do not touch or block the
steam ventilation area on the lid.

Extreme caution must be used when
the deep fryer is filled with hot oil or
other liquid. Do not move the deep
fryer during cooking and allow it to
cool before removing oil.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

& TIPS

COOKING TECHNIQUES & TIPS

Foods should be crisp when deep fried.
If results are soggy, the oil isn’t hot enough.
This can be attributed to one or more of
the following:

• Not enough preheating time

• Temperature too low

• Too much food in the basket

(do not fill more than two thirds full)

• Do not use solid frying oil, only use

liquid oils

Use good quality liquid oil. For best results,
use the below recommended oils

NOTE

If cooking large quantities of food
(approx 1.25–1.75lbs), it is not
recommended to cook with the lid on
due to the possible build up of
excess condensation.

The most suitable oils for deep frying
include:

All oils have different smoke points. Smoke
points are the point at which the fat begins
to break down into visible gaseous products.

• The smoke point of different fats is

determined by the free fatty acid content
of the fat. Generally, the lower the free
fatty acid content the more stable the fat
and the higher the smoke point.

• Free fatty acid levels are generally lower

in refined vegetable oils with a smoke
point of around 445°F. Where as animal
fats are around 375°F.

• The smoke point of a deep-frying fat

is lowered every time it is used. Food
particles are always left behind after
cooking. This will also lower the smoke
point of the fat.

• Suitable oils for deep frying include:

Peanut oil, Vegetable oil, Canola oil,
Safflower oil and Rice Bran oil. Olive
oil is not recommended for deep frying
due to its low smoke-point temperature.
These oils are described below:

PEANUT OIL

Peanut oil is obtained from the kernels
of the ground nut or peanut. It has a
delicate flavor, nutty odor and has a
high smoke point. Peanut oil is high in
mono-unsaturated oil and vitamin E.

VEGETABLE OIL

A general term that refers to a blend of oils
extracted from various seeds and fruits.
Vegetable oil has a very mild flavor and
aroma. It is low in cholesterol and
saturated fats.

CANOLA OIL

Made from seeds of the canola plant. It is
relatively low in saturated fats, contains
Omega 3 fatty acids and has a bland,
neutral flavor.

SUNFLOWER OIL

The oil is extracted from the seeds of the
sunflower plant. It is pale yellow in color
with virtually no flavor. Sunflower oil is
high in polyunsaturated fats and low in
saturated fats.

SAFFLOWER OIL

Safflower oil is derived from the seeds of the
safflower. It is strong in flavor, rich in color
and has a high smoke point. Safflower oil is
high in polyunsaturated fats and vitamin E.

NOTE

Do not overfill the basket. Large
quantities of food may cause the Oil
to bubble and overflow. Small batches
of food cook much better and make
operation of the Deep Fryer safer.

17

COOKING TECHNIQUES & TIPS

Method for the perfect fries

1. Select any of the following oils: peanut

oil, safflower, sunflower oil,
vegetable oil.

2. Use a starchy unwashed potato such

as a Russet potato.

3. Wash and peel potatoes.

4. Cut into ¼ inch thick fries and place

into a large bowl. Cover with cold water
and juice of a lemon to prevent potatoes
from browning.

5. When ready to use, drain and dry

thoroughly with paper towel.

6. Fill deepfryer with 4 quarts of oil.

7. Set deepfryer to FRIES - TWICE FRIED/

FRESH setting.

8. Select 1ST FRY and press the

START/CANCEL button to PREHEAT
the oil.

9. Cook 1lb batches of fries at a time.

10. Place fries into basket and lower

into hot oil. Press TIMER button.
Cook until the alarm sound signals
end of cooking cycle.

11. Remove fries from oil and drain on a

tray lined with paper towel; refrigerate
until cooled.

12. Continue this method until all the

potatoes have been through the
1ST FRY.

13. Alternatively, to continue cooking

fries directly onto 2ND FRY, leave
blanched fries in basket and drain on
basket hook.

14. Select FRIES - TWICE FRIED/ FRESH

setting and choose 2ND FRY. Press
START/CANCEL button to PREHEAT
the oil and continue as below.

15. Place fries into basket and lower

into hot oil. Press TIMER button.
Cook until the alarm sound signals
end of cooking cycle.

16. Remove fries from basket and drain

onto a tray lined with paper towel.

17. Season with sea salt and

serve immediately.

NOTE

Twice fried fries temperatures are
based on 1lb load of fresh hand cut
potato fries.

Types of potatoes that make the most
succulent fries include the following:

Kennebec, Russet, Sweet and Purple.

When should I change the oil? What
should I look for?

It is recommended to change the oil every
week if deep fryer is used every day.

If using once or twice a week, the oil can
be changed every three weeks.

There are distinct indicators that will show
you when your oil is no longer deep frying
effectively. These include:

• The surface of the oil will begin to foam

once heated.

• Smoke will appear on the surface of the

oil before the recommended deep frying
temperatures are reached.

• Oils can develop an ‘off’ smell. This

indicates that the oil has become rancid.

• The oil’s odor is that of the foods you

have cooked eg. seafood.

• The oil will change in viscosity, that is,

it will pour slowly and become thick
with a syrupy appearance.

PAGE HEADER.COOKING TECHNIQUES & TIPS

Storage and preparation of used oil

Re-using your oil is best achieved if proper
methods are used after and during cooking.

1. Never season or salt food before or

during cooking as it will burn and
discolor the oil. This in turn shortens
the lifespan of your oil.

2. Cool oil completely before pouring

through a coffee filter or cloth to
remove food solids and debris.

3. Store in a sealed container either in the

refrigerator or in a cool dark cupboard.

4. Repeat the filtering and cleaning

process after each use.

5. Properly dispose of old used oil

according to council requirements.
