Practical advice
1. Oils and fats
z
Always use oil and fast which can withstand high temperature.
z
Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
z
Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown after cooking.
2. Preparing the food
z
Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry: this will avoid overflowing and
make the oil or fat last longer.
z
When preparing potato-based food (chips, crisps, etc.) cut them up and then wash them in
cold water to remove the starch. Dry them carefully. This will stop them sticking together.
3. Cooking
z
Do not overfill the basket. This will cause the oil temperature dropping and make the food
greasy.
z
Do not keep oil at high temperature for long periods. This will make it lose its properties.
z
Set the temperature controller to the lowest temperature while waiting between two batches.
z
Do not leave the cooked food in the basket in draining position too long. The vapors could
cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
z
Frozen food can be cooked in the basket without being defrosted.
4. After cooking
z
Oil or fat can be left in the deep fryer with its basket and lid on. It will not lose its properties.
z
Change the fat or oil regularly, after approximately 20 batches.
