Using Solid Fat
WARNING:
Do not

in the oil container or the frying basket.
•
If using solid vegetable shortening,
melt it first in a separate pan and then
very carefully pour the melted fat into
the oil container.
•
Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
WARNING:
If you try to melt the
solidified fat in the oil container, there is a
risk of warm melted fat suddenly
sputtering from below through the still
solid top layer of fat.
Therefore use only the following
procedure:
•

temperature. If the fat is very cold,
there is a greater risk of splashing.

holes in the fat. Make sure the lid is
securely closed while fat is melting.
