According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla-
mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Frying frozen food
Deep frozen foods for frying absorb a lot of oil and cook more slowly.
