Using the fryer
Frying tips
–The oil must be hot enough to seal and cook the food quickly. If the temperature is too low, the food will absorb oil. Wait until the temperature indicator light goes out (which means the set temperature has been reached), before placing food into the fryer.
–Do not fry too much food at once. This will lower the temperature of the oil long enough to cause the food to absorb oil.
–Food should be as dry as possible since moisture can cause frothing. Dab wet or moist food with paper towels until dry and remove any traces of ice from frozen food.
–Lower the frying basket into the reservoir slowly to prevent oil from splashing or frothing.
Do not add salt, powders or sauces to food while the basket is over hot oil. This can cause the oil to "spit" or froth which could cause burns.
