OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE deep Fryer
NOTE: For best results, when cooking the first batch of food, allow the deep fryer to preheat for approximately 20 minutes. The 'HEATING' light will cycle on and off during this time.
8.When the 'HEATING' light goes out, slide the tongue of the basket handle into the recess in the housing. Lower the basket until it stops in the ‘Load or Drain’ position. In this position the basket is above the oil level.
NOTE:
Do not overfill the basket with food. Overfilling lowers the overall oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and not cook properly.
NOTE:
When frying food that is not coated in batter, make sure it is patted dry with paper towels as excess moisture causes the oil temperature to drop. The smallest amount of water will also cause hot oil to splatter.
9.Place food to be fried into the frying basket. Always ensure that the basket is not filled past the top.
The 'Load or Drain' feature allows you to safely add food to the frying basket before frying and also drain excess oil from the food once the frying has been completed.
NOTE:
When cooking foods coated with batter, lower the frying basket into the hot oil then carefully add coated food directly into the oil using metal tongs – cook a few pieces at a time
–and follow Steps
10.Place the lid on top of the deep fryer and by tilting the frying basket back towards you, release the basket from the ‘Load or Drain’ position and gently lower it into the hot oil.
NOTE:
Care should be taken when lowering food in the frying basket into the hot oil. Some splattering may occur.
11.Raise the basket to see if the food has reached the desired golden color and texture. We recommend this is done by using the viewing window on the lid to avoid oil splattering.
12.Once the food has reached the desired golden color and texture, carefully lift the basket and lock it in the ‘Load or Drain’ position. Allow oil to drain 10 to 20 seconds.
13.With hot pads or insulated oven mitts, remove the lid and frying basket. Place cooked food onto a wire rack or absorbent paper towels.
