6.6.1 Some good frying tips
The level of oil in the basin must always be between 3 litres (minimum amount indicated inside the basin) and 3.5 litres (maximum amount indicated inside the basin). The resistance cannot operate in the open air: it must always be immersed in the oil or fat.
Do not put solid vegetable or animal fat into the basin. It must already be melted before putting it into the basin.
WARNING: before lifting the resistance up, make sure it is cool. Danger of burns!
WARNING: when the resistance is raised, take care not to activate the control device. Danger of burns!
The ideal frying temperature is between 160°C and 185°C. The oil will degrade very quickly at levels higher or lower than these.
If the temperature is too low, the food is not broiled on the surface and becomes impregnated with fat.
The larger the pieces the longer they have to fry. It is, therefore, a good idea to pick a cooking temperature that allows you to cook the food right through without burning it on the outside.
