• Frozen foods have very low temperatures. As a result they inevitably cause a considerable
drop in the temperature of the oil or fat. To achieve a good result, we advise you not to
exceed the quantities recommended in the following table.
•
Frozen foods are often covered in ice crystals which must be removed before cooking. This
can be done by shaking the basket.
Then immerse the basket very slowly into the frying oil
to avoid the oil reboiling.
The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial temperature of the food
which is to be fried and according to the temperature recommended by the frozen food producer.
OPERATING FAULTS
WARNING: Before immersing the basket, check that the lid is firmly closed.
(*) This is the recommended quantity to achieve excellent frying. It is naturally possible to fry a larger amount
of chips, but you should bear in mind that in this case they will end up being a little greasier because
of the sudden drop in the oil temperature at the time of immersion.
