COOKING HINTS
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The oil or fat must never go below the minimum level.
From time to time it is necessary to renew it completely. The length
of time the oil or fat lasts depends on what is fried.
Breading, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying.
As for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if it is reheated
several times! Therefore, even if it is used and filtered correctly, we
recommend replacing it completely fairly often.
Since the deep fryer works with little oil, due to its rotating basket,
there is the considerable advantage that you only have to get rid of
about half the amount of oil that you would with other deep fryers
on the market.
HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY
•
It is important to follow the recommended temperature for
every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried food
absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high a crust quickly forms
on the outside while the inside remains uncooked.
•
The food which is to be fried must only be
immersed when the oil has reached the right
temperature, i.e. when the indicator light goes off.
•
Do not overfill the basket. This would cause the temperature of
the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too greasy
and not uniformly fried.
•
When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the oil
must be set lower than the temperature indicated to avoid the oil
boiling too violently.
Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as food
which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking nice,
while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal cooking point all at
the same time.
•
Dry the food completely before immersing it in the
oil or fat,
as wet food becomes soggy after cooking
(especially potatoes). It is advisable to bread or flour food which
has a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables), being careful to
remove the excess bread or flour before immersing it in the oil.
