Table of cooking times
• The cooking times are a guide only, they may vary depending on the
size of the food, the amount of the food, individual preferences and
the voltage.
• Cooking tips: For the best results, use the traditional French method of
frying homemade French fries :
- first frying at 320°F / 160°C
- second frying at 374°F / 190°C.
• When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to
prevent food from sticking to it and use tongs to slowly lower the food
into the hot oil.
Take great care when
handling the food and
use tongs. Gradually
place the food into the
hot oil, submerging it an
inch at a time to prevent
it from sinking too
quickly.
The timer signals the
end of the cooking time,
but does not stop the
appliance.
For crispy fried food, open
the lid as soon as you
have finished cooking
to prevent steam from
softening the food.
Never move the fryer
while the oil or fat is still
hot-
