Cooks tips: When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs. Gradually place the food into the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight away.
We recommend you to:
-limit the quantity and the temperature at 170°C especially for potatoes,
-use the basket for french fries,
-control the cooking : only eat golden brown fried food not burnt food,
-filter the oil after every use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it regularly,
-have a balanced and varied diet which includes 5 portions of fruit and vegetables daily,
-store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
For good quality and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of chips to 1/2 a basket per fry.
For a larger quantity of food or potatoes, the temperature is dropping very fast just after having plunged the basket . While cooking, this temperature is not above 175°C even if the thermostat is at the 190°C (= Stabilized Temperature before plunging).
