Frying frozen foods

•Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevi- tably lower the temperature of the oil. For good results each time you fry, we recommend you do not exceed the maximum quantities set out in the following table.

•Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals which must be removed before cooking. This can be done by shaking the basket. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil, to ensure that the oil does not boil over.

Close the fryer lid after the basket has been placed inside the fryer.

The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial temperature of the food being fried and according to the temperature recommended by the frozen food producer.

(*)This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quantity of frozen potatoes can be fried, taking into consideration that they will be a little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the temperature of the oil upon immersion.
