DeLonghi F28313 manual Frying non-frozen food, Quantity Minutes

•The food which is to be fried must only be immersed when the oil has reached the right temperature, i.e. when the indicator light goes off.

•Do not overfill the basket.This would cause the temperature of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too greasy and not uniformly fried.

•When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the oil must be set lower than the temperature indicated to avoid the oil boiling too violently.

•Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking nice, while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal cooking point all at the same time.

•Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil or fat, as wet food becomes soggy after cooking (especially potatoes). It is advisable to bread or flour food which has a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables), being careful to remove the excess bread or flour before immersing it in the oil.
