Frying Frozen Food, Troubleshooting | DeLonghi D677UX guide

FRYING FROZEN FOOD

1.Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevitably lower the temperature of the oil. For good results each time you fry, we recommend you don’t exceed the maximum quantities set out in the following table.

2.Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals, which should be removed before frying. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil in order to ensure that the oil does not boil over.

Before lowering the basket into the oil, ensure that the lid is securely closed.

3.To obtain best results, do not exceed recommended max. quantity of food.

The cooking time shown in this table are approximate, and may vary according to the initial temperature of the food and to the cooking temperature recommended on the packet.

	Type of food	Max. quantity	Temperature		Time
			(°C)	(°F)	(minutes)



Pre-cooked frozen potatoes		0.7 lb / 300 gr (*)	190	370	phase 1	5	- 6
					phase 2	2	- 3
Potato zucchini		1.1 lb / 500 gr	190	370	7 - 8

Fish	Fish-fingers	0.7 lb / 300 gr	190	370	6 - 7
	Prawns	0.7 lb / 300 gr	190	370	6 - 7

Meat	Chicken cutlets (2)	0.4 lb / 200 gr	190	370	7 - 8

(*)This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quantity of frozen potatoes can be fried, taking into consideration that they will be a little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the tem- perature of the oil, upon immersion.
