Practical advice
Oils and fats
•Always use oil that can withstand high temperature.
•Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
•Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown after cooking.
Preparing the food
•Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry: this will avoid overflowing and make the oil or fat last longer.
•When preparing
ENGLISH
Cooking
•Do not overfill the basket. This will cause the oil temperature dropping and make the food greasy.
•Do not keep the oil at high temperature for long periods. This will make it lose its properties.
•Set the temperature controller to the lowest temperature while waiting between two batches.
•Do not leave the cooked food in the basket in the draining position too long. The vapors could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
•Frozen food can be cooked in the basket without being defrosted.
After cooking
•Change the fat or oil regularly, after approximately 20 batches.
