USEFUL HINTS & TIPS
1. Oils and fats
Always use oil and fats which can withstand high temperature.
Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown after cooking.
2. Preparing the food
Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry: this will avoid overflowing and
make the oil or fat last longer.
When preparing food ( especially chips, crisps, etc.), cut them up and then wash them in cold
water to remove the starch. Dry food carefully with kitchen towel, ensuring there is no
surface moisture on it before cooking.
3. Cooking
Do not overfill the basket. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and make the food
greasy.
Do not keep the oil at high temperature for long periods. This will make it lose its properties.
Set the temperature controller to the lowest temperature while waiting between batches.
Do not leave the cooked food in the basket in the draining position too long. The vapours
could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
Frozen food can be cooked in the basket without being defrosted.
4. After cooking
Oil or fat can be left in the fryer with its basket and lid on. It will not lose its properties.
Change the fat or oil regularly, after approximately 20 batches.
