Cooking in your Deep Fryer Compact

There are two methods of cooking in your fryer; one general method for most foodstuffs and another for home battered products.

Note: During cooking, steam will build up in the fryer, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.

General cooking method

(For pre-cooked, crumbed, floured or wrapped food.)

1.Adjust the control dial to the desired temperature. The red temperature indicator light will illuminate.

2.When the oil has reached the required temperature, the light will go out. Remove the lid, lift the basket and put it on the rest so that it is not in contact with the oil. Place the food, (should be as dry as possible) into the raised basket.

Cooking in your Deep Fryer Compact

Note: The basket should always be in the raised position when it is to be filled with food.

3.Lower the basket into the tank and replace the lid.

4.When the food is cooked (see time guide chart on page 9), place the basket on its raised position to drain for a few seconds.

5.Remove the basket and put the fried food on a plate covered with absorbent paper or kitchen towel.

6.When finished with the fryer, slide the temperature knob to the lowest setting and switch the power off. Remove the plug from mains power.

7.Clean the fryer only after the oil is completely cooled down.

Cooking home battered food

This method allows for the fact that if wet batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking the food may stick to the basket. This method of cooking requires extreme care.

1.Adjust the control to the desired temperature. The red temperature indicator light will illuminate.

2.When the oil has reached the required temperature the light will go out.

Note: Leave the basket in the down position.

3.Remove the lid of the fryer.

4.Coat the food in batter and allow it to drain slightly to get rid of the excess coating.

5.Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food into the hot oil, using a suitable implement or tongs. This allows the batter to become solid and prevents it sealing to the mesh of the basket.

Note: Remember to take care as the oil may spit as the food is added.

You can now follow the instructions as given in the general cooking method, steps 4 - 7.
