3.4 Cooking recommendations
•
When frying more than one type of food, fry the
food that requires a lower level of temperature
first, and then fry the food that requires a higher
temperature.
•
When frying the same type of food for more
than one time, the time difference between the
first frying process and the second one must be
3 to 5 minutes. The white indicator will go off
when the temperature has been reached again.
•
If the food you are frying is pre-cooked, you
need to use higher temperatures. Plus, pre-
cooked foods require shorter cooking durations
compared to completely raw food.
•
When frying potatoes, especially when frying
fresh or frozen potatoes (these contain more
water), lower the auto-raising basket slowly.
Otherwise oil may overflow.
•
Never fill the auto-raising basket up to 1/2 of
the food (best ratio is 1/4 to 1/2). Otherwise,
temperature of the oil will drop below the frying
temperature and the food will not be as light or
crispy as it should be.
C
Do not mix different types of oil for
frying.
•
Use only good quality oil for frying; e.g. pure
maize oil or light olive oil. We do not recommend
to use oils/fats that can spoil quickly, e.g. sun-
flower seed oil, lard oil or distilled oil.
