finish to the food.
•
Cook one type of food at a time.
•
Pieces of food should be of the same
size and thickness.
•
Do not overload the basket as it may
cause a drop of the temperature that may
leave the food greasy.
•
Cook your food thoroughly. Remember
that your food may begin to turn golden
brown before it is cooked through.
•
Avoid leaving food to drain for too long in
the basket as the food may become soft
and lose its crunchiness.
•
Select your cooking utensils with care.
Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal
utensils become hot and therefore should
have insulated handles.
Chips
Old potatoes are ideal for making chips.
Your chips should be evenly sized so that
they cook evenly. They should be rinsed in a
colander under a cold tap and dried using a
kitchen towel or absorbent paper. For best
results fry your chips for 6-10 minutes,
shaking the basket at intervals to ensure the
chips get an overall browning.
• For best results we recommend no more
than 800g of frozen chips or 1000g of
fresh chips are fried.
Filter removal and
replacement
The lid is fitted with a replaceable
charcoal and grease filter which collects oil
from passing steam. The filter can be used
for about 15 frying sessions, it must then be
changed to maintain the effectiveness of the
odour filter system.
