boiling.
Surge boiling may occur if over-wet food or a larger than recommended load is being prepared. There
is also a possibility that appliance may catch fire should oil level fall below specified level.
All models are fitted with a safety device. This ensures that power to elements is cut-off when
removed from pan for cleaning or maintenance.
SECTION 3 - COOKING HINTS
Frying Chips
Chipped potatoes may be prepared by one of the following methods:-
Raw To Finish
Set the thermostat at 175Žo
C for fat or 190Žo
C for oil. Load each basket with up to 2.5kg of raw
chips and cook for 4 to 6 minutes according to the size of chip and type of potato.
Using this method, the hourly output of each fryer is as follows :
E1808 - 27.2kg E1838 - 54.4kg E1848 - 54.4kg
Outputs are based on the use of vegetable oil as a frying medium. When using dripping, slightly
longer frying times are required and the output will be slightly less.
Slow Blanching
This method may be used where large quantities of chips are requried at peak periods and consists of
pre-frying with a thermostat setting of 150Žo
C. Basket load should be up to 2.5kg of chips with frying
time of 3 to 5 minutes.
Fast Blanching
This is carried out at a thermostat setting of 175Žo
C for dripping or 190°C for oil. Allow 2 to 4
minutes for basket load of 2.5kg.
Finishing off either blanching method should be carried out within three hours at a thermostat setting
of 175Žo
C for dripping and 190Žo
C for oil with a cooking time of 1 to 2 minutes and a basket load
of 2.5kg. Further storage should be avoided.
Frying Fish
Remove baskets and fry fish on basket support grid. Remove cooked portion with a fish lifter.
The thermostat should be set at 175°C. Small quantities may be prepared in the baskets.
The following methods give best results :
Dry fish well and season basket by immersing in hot fat.
Place fish in basket and lower it very slowly into pan.
These precautions will avoid fish sticking to wire basket.
Other Types Of Food
Every type of food suitable for deep frying has a particular cooking temperature at which best results
are obtained.
The following thermostat settings are recommended but may be varied to suit individual requirements.
Setting shown should only be used when vegetable oil is the frying medium. Maximum setting for fat
is 175
°
C.
