COOKING HINTS

HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS

The oil or fat must never go below the minimum level. From time to time it is necessary to renew it completely. The length of time the oil or fat lasts depends on what is fried.

Breading, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying.

As for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if it is reheated several times! Therefore, even if used correctly, it should be completely changed after 5-8 times.

Since the deep fryer works with little oil, due to its rotat- ing basket, there is the considerable advantage that you only have to get rid of about half the amount of oil that you would with the other deep fryers on the market.

HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY

•It is important to follow the recommended tempera- ture for every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried food absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high a crust quickly forms on the outside while the inside remains uncooked.

•The food which is to be fried must only be immersed when the oil has reached the right tem- perature, i.e. when the signal lamp goes off.

•Do not overfill the basket. This would cause the tem- perature of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too greasy and not uniformly fried.

•When frying small quantities of food, the tempera- ture of the oil must be set lower than the tempera- ture indicated to avoid the oil boiling too violently.

•Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking nice, while food of an

even thickness reaches the ideal cooking point all at the same time.

•Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil or fat, as wet food becomes soggy after cook- ing (especially potatoes). It is advisable to bread or flour food which has a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables), being careful to remove the excess bread or flour before immersing it in the oil.
