It is important to take into account which food you want to fry in order to determine the
appropriate temperature. Use the guideline information in the table below, the advice of the
manufacturer and your own decision to guide you.
Do not overload the basket. This will reduce the oil temperature and your food will be greasier
and less crunchy.
In addition, if you fill the basket the food will not cook evenly because all the oil cannot reach
all the food. It is therefore preferable to cook in batches. Make sure the food is cooked in the
centre. If the oil temperature is too high the surface of the food will brown quickly whilst the
centre will not be cooked.
