• If you use the same oil for frying
repeatedly, the temperature at which
the smoke point occurs is lowered. This
happens less in rapeseed and sunflower
oils.
• Avoid using olive oil, butter or margarine
in your fryer as they are unsuitable for
cooking at such high temperatures.
• Different oils have different tastes to them.
Canola oil tastes fairly neutral, hazelnut oil
has a distinctive taste, light sesame oil has
a nutty flavour which is especially good
for frying, and rapeseed oil is a popular
choice with a light and delicate taste.
Peanut oil doesn’t absorb or transfer
flavours, making it good for cooking –
however, its smoking point is lower than
that of corn or safflower oil.
• Almond, avocado and cottonseed oil are
also great to fry with, although they are
harder to find and more expensive.
• Rapeseed oil is also a healthy choice as
it has less unhealthy saturated fat than all
other cooking oils, along with being a rich
source in vitamin E.
• Change the oil in your fryer after every
8 – 10 uses. When you do change the oil,
never pour it down the drain. Dispose of it
safely according to the guidelines of your
local council.
• The oil tank is removable. Tip and pour
it to empty. Do not attempt to empty or
change the oil when the machine or oil is
still hot. Allow to cool completely before
cleaning or moving.
