PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

ΘΕΡΜΟΚΡΑΣΙΑ ΛΑΔΙΟΥ

Διατηρείτε τη θερμοκρασία λαδιού στη φριτέζα μέχρι 190 βαθμούς Κελσίου. Υψηλότερες θερμοκρασίες θα αλλάξουν τη σύνθεση του λαδιού πολύ σύντομα και δεν ψήνετε γρηγορότερα. Η δυναμικότητα του λαδιού στους 205-210βαθμούς Κελσίου είναι μόνο το ένα τρίτο της δυναμικότητάς του στους 190 βαθμούς Κελσίου. Επιπλέον η αυξημένη αποσύνθεση του λαδιού, σε θερμοκρασίες πάνω από 190 βαθμούς Κελσίου, κάνει το λάδι να καπνίζει άσχημα κι αν ακόμη κατεβάσετε τη θερμοκρασία κατόπιν πάλι στους 190 βαθμούς Κελσίου. Οι υψηλές θερμοκρασίες δε σας παρέχουν κανένα πλεονέκτημα, σας κοστίζει περισσότερα χρήματα και αυξάνουν τον κίνδυνο πυρκαγιάς.
