Practical advice

Oils and fats

Always use oil that can withstand high temperatures.

• Do not mix different types of oil.

• Change the oil when it becomes brown after cooking (roughly after 20 frying sessions).

• Never fill the food basket more than half full.

Preparing the food

• Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry: this will avoid overflowing; spitting and will help the oil 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 to d rop a nd make the food greasy. Only ever fill the basket half full.

• Do not keep the oil at a high temperature fo r long periods. This will make the oil lose its properties.

Page 5

• 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 vapours

could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.

After Cooking

• Oil can be left in the fryer to cool with its basket and lid on. The oil will not lose its properties.

• Change the oil regularly.

• Lift up the auto raise handle to its highest horizontal position (until a click is heard) and remove the basket from the oil by gently lifting upwards. Soak the basket in warm soapy water and rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. DO NOT wash the basket in the dishwasher.
