• Do not overfill the basket. Too much
food in the basket lowers the tempera-
ture of the oil suddenly, with the result
that the food will be greasy and uneven-
ly-fried.
• Check that the food is sliced thinly and
evenly. Thick slices will not be fried
throughout, although they may look
cooked on the outside. If the food is
evenly sliced, each slice will be perfect-
ly fried at the same time.
• Be sure to dry the food carefully before
frying. Damp foods - especially potatoes
- remain soggy after frying. Foods with
a high water content (e.g. fish, meat
and vegetables) should be dipped in
breadcrumbs or flour. Remember to
shake off any excess flour or bread-
crumbs before frying.
Frying frozen foods
1. Due to their extremely low temperature,
frozen foods inevitably lower the tem-
perature of the oil. For good results each
time you fry, we recommend you don’t
exceed the maximum quantities speci-
fied below.
2.
Frozen foods are frequently cov-
ered with a coating of ice crys-
tals, which should be removed
before frying.
Lower the basket very
slowly into the oil in order to ensure that
the oil does not boil over.
Make certain that the lid is tightly
closed after the basket has been
placed inside the fryer.
3. For best results, do not exceed recom-
mended maximum quantities.
