Cooking home-battered foods

3Lower the baskets into the oil.

4Lower the lid.

•You can observe the cooking process by raising the lid or looking through the

viewing window to observe progress.

5When the food is cooked, raise the lid, lift the basket out of the oil, give it a shake, and place it in its raised rest position for a few seconds to drain.

6Lift the basket out and shake the fried food into a dish with oil absorbing kitchen paper.

7After use, disconnect from the mains supply and allow to cool. Wipe any spilt oil from the fryer body.

•You can store the basket in the oil.

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

•It is advised that the large basket is used.

1 Leave the baskets in the down position.

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

3 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.

WARNING: Take care as the oil may spit as the food is added.

Getting the best from your fryer

Oil

•Always ensure that you use good quality oil for deep frying. We recommend liquid vegetable oils, alternatively use corn, groundnut or rapeseed oil. Avoid mixing oils of different types and quality.

•Solid fat (lard) and solid oil can be used, this should be first melted in a pan until softened, then carefully transfered into the fryer bowl.

•Change the oil when it becomes brown or cloudy in colour.

IMPORTANT: Do not switch the fryer on until the fryer bowl is filled with oil or solid oil or lard.

Cooking

•Your food must always be completely dry in order to avoid overflowing, to prolong the use of the oil and to give a crisper finish to the food.

•Pieces of food should be of the same size and thickness.

•As a general guide pre-cooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods.

•Do not overload the basket(s) as it may cause a drop of temperature that may leave the food greasy.

•Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that your food may begin to turn golden brown before it is cooked through.

•Avoid leaving food to drain for too long in the basket as the food may become soft and lose its crunchiness.

•Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal utensils become hot and therefore should have insulated handles. When using metal utensils, take care not to damage the non-stick coating of the bowl.

•All foodstuffs contain moisture. When lowered into the hot oil the water turns to steam. Most of the steam escapes harmlessly through the lid vent, but trapped steam may escape when opening the lid - so care is needed.
