Tefal FA700416 manual Cooking times, Cooking time for fresh foods, Cooking time for frozen foods

Cooking times

The cooking times and the quantities of fat are only a guide, they may vary depending on quantities and personal taste. For thicker foods (marked with an asterisk) and when cooking with 1 litre of oil, turn the food halfway through frying to ensure even cooking on both sides.

Foods recommended for frying in 1 litre of oil can be cooked in 2 litres of oil if preferred, using the same cooking temperature and time.

Cooks tip : when cooking battered foods or 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 in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight away.
