FRYING FROZEN FOODS
1. Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen
foods inevitably lower the temperature of the oil. For
good results each time you fry, we recommend you
don’t exceed the maximum quantities set out in the
following table.
2.
Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coa-
ting of ice crystals, which should be removed
before frying.
Lower the basket very slowly into the
oil in order to ensure that the oil does not boil over.
Before lowering the basket into the oil, ensure that
the lid is securely closed.
To obtain best results, do not exceed recommended
max. quantity of food.

(*) This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quantity of frozen potatoes can be
fried, taking into consideration that they will be a little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the temperatu-
re of the oil, upon immersion.
