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. Thicker food may
require turning halfway through frying to ensure even
cooking on both sides.
• Cooking tips: For best results, use the traditional French
method of frying homemade chips:
- first frying at 170 °C
- second frying at 190 °C
• When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove
the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it and use
tongs to slowly lower the food into the hot oil.
Do not place your hand
above the filter system -
fig. 13, or over the
viewing window.
The steam and the glass
will be hot. Do not touch
the fryer walls which
may also be hot.
The timer (depending
on model) 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.
The lid cannot be
closed while the basket
is hooked on the edge
of the bowl.
When cooking battered
food and doughnuts,
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.
