• Generally no oil is required for preparing food. You can add oil to your food to en-
hance the taste by spraying your food with a little oil from the oil atomiser.
• When preparing mass-produced frozen products, you should follow the times and
temperatures specifi ed by the manufacturer. Before the specifi ed cooking time elaps-
es, check whether the food is already cooked through because the cooking time can
be slightly shorter than in a conventional oven.
Homemade Chips
Ingredients:
4 large
Potatoes (waxy)
1 – 2 tbsp.
Cooking oil
To taste
Salt
Preparation:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks of equal size.
2. Thoroughly wash the potatoes and then dry them off .
3. Add 1 – 2 tbsp. of oil to the potatoes and mix in. It is not essential to add oil. However,
adding oil will make the chips crispier and give them a more intense fl avour.
4. Place the sliced potato chips into the rotating basket.
5. Insert the rotating basket into the cooking space.
6. Start the
“Chips” programme.
7. Press the
button to activate the rotating function.
8. The chips are cooked when they are golden brown. Reduce the temperature if
necessary if the chips start to get too dark. If they are not cooked after the end of the
programme, extend the cooking time and adjust the temperature if necessary.
• Mix your favourite herbs and spices into the oil before adding it. This will allow
you for example to prepare tasty curry or paprika-fl avoured chips. There are
no limits to your imagination.
• Depending on how thick you cut your potatoes, you can vary between potato
wedges and thick or thin chips. The thicker the potatoes are cut, the longer
the cooking time.
• Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take
longer to cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.
• Wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess
starch in the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then thoroughly dry the potatoes. The
less moisture is present, the crispier the chips will become.
• Preboiled potatoes will cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into small sticks
and preboil them for around fi ve minutes. This will prevent the chips from be-
ing crispy on the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.
• If you want to prepare frozen chips, there is no need to add any oil as most fro-
zen products are generally pre-fried! If you are going to prepare frozen chips
or other frozen convenience products, follow the manufacturer's specifi cations
on the packaging.
