TIpS FOR DEEp FRyING
• When cooking foods dipped in fresh batter, lower basket first. Using
tongs, add food directly to oil. Use basket to lift out food when
finished cooking.
• Do not exceed max fill line on frying basket. This helps maintain
temperature of oil for better cooking results.
• Sort or cut food into uniform pieces. All the food will then be cooked
in the same amount of time. To reduce splattering, remove excess
moisture or ice from food.
• Store oil in oil container for a limited time. When oil has cooled to
room temperature, pour into a suitable container with lid and
refrigerate.
• For best results, change oil in deep fryer after a maximum of ten
uses.
• It is important to follow the temperature recommendation for every
recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried food absorbs oil. If the
temperature is too high a crust quickly forms on the outside while
the inside remains uncooked.
• For best results, drop freshly sliced food into basket one at a time.
FRyING FROzEN FOODS
• Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevitably lower
the temperature of the oil. For best results, do not overload the
basket with frozen foods.
• Follow the instructions on the frozen food package for cooking time
and temperature.
• Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals,
which should be removed before frying. Lower the basket very slowly
into the oil in order to ensure that oil does not boil over.
FILTERING aND CHaNGING THE OIL
• Make sure the Cuisinart
TM
Cool Touch Deep Fryer is unplugged and
the oil has cooled before cleaning or storing.
• The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general, the
oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying food containing a lot of
protein (such as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is mainly used to fry
potatoes and it is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10
times. However, do not use the oil for longer than 6 months.
•
WaRNING:
Always remove the plug from wall socket before
cleaning. Allow the Cuisinart
TM
Cool Touch Deep Fryer and the oil to
cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning. Never
immerse the control panel, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
