Table of cooking times
The cooking times are a guide only; they may vary depending on the size
of the food and the amount of food and individual preferences.
Cooking tips: For 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 donuts, remove the wire basket to
prevent food sticking to it and use tongs to slowly lower the food into the
hot oil.
Never move the fryer while
the oil is still hot –
fig13
.
Never move the fryer with
the lid open.
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 immediately.
