Using Solid Fat
Warning:
Do not put solid shortening in
the oil container or the frying basket.
•
If using solid vegetable shortening, melt
it first in a separate pan and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil
container.
•
Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
Warning:
If you try to melt the solidified
fat in the oil container, there is a risk of
warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from
below through the still solid top layer of
fat. Therefore use only the following
procedure:
•
Make sure the fat is at room
temperature. If the fat is very cold,
there is a greater risk of splashing.
•
Using a fork, carefully make some holes
in the fat. Make sure the lid is securely
closed while the fat is melting. Press
