How can I tell if my oil shouldn’t be reused?
• If it smokes at a low temperature
• If it smells and/or tastes bad
• If it has darkened appreciably
• If it has thickened up or forms a froth
Other Hints:
• Don’t fry too much at a time: it causes the temperature to sink and the
product to become limp or dry.
• If you have fried fish in the oil, you can expect other items fried in the
same oil to acquire a fishy taste. Ideally you should use different oils for
different products.
• Never salt food or add liquid flavorings over the oil.
• Clean the fryer after every use.
• Filter the oil at the end of the day and place in the refrigerator.
Using the Deep Fryer for Steaming:
What a delicious, healthy way to enjoy a complete seafood dinner and other great
meals! Once again, our large capacity unit with temperature and time controls
puts YOU in charge. Add approximately 8 to 12 liters of water (2-3 gallons) into
the bottom of the cook pot. The heating mechanism will quickly heat the water to
a perfectly prepared steam for cooking seafood, meats and vegetables—all at the
same time. See instructions for properly affixing the cooking basket.
Using the Deep Fryer for Boiling:
This versatile unit can also be used for boiling a large quantity of items without
using the cook basket. You can choose any vegetables, soups, even hard boiled
eggs. Add sufficient water to boil desired products, being careful not to add past
the fill line imprinted on the inner cook pot. You can preset the temperature for a
rapid boil or slow boil. You can also use this product for slow simmer tasks like
beer making. After use, let the unit cool and carefully wash per instructions noted
earlier in this guide.
