Cooking hints
Changing the oil or fat
The oil or fat must never fall below the minimum level, when this occurs top up with new oil. It is advisable to change the oil regu- larly to maintain the quality and taste of the food.The length of time the oil or fat will last depends on what is fried.
For example, the oil must be changed more often if food coated in breadcrumbs is fried frequently.
Oil deteriorates if constantly reheated, we advise that the oil be com- pletely changed every 5/8 times or in the following circumstances:
•unpleasant odours
•smoke when frying
•the oil becomes dark in colour
How to fry correctly
•It is important to follow the recommended temperature for every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried food absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high, a crust quickly forms on the outside while the inside remains uncooked.
•The food being fried must only be immersed when the oil has reached the right temperature, i.e. when the indicator light switches off.
•Too much food in the basket lowers the temperature of the oil quickly, resulting in unevenly fried and greasy food.
•Check that the food is sliced thinly and of even thickness, food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking cooked, 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 damp food becomes soggy after cooking (especially potatoes). Food with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be coated in crumbs or flour, ensuring that any excess bread- crumbs or flour is removed before immersing it in the oil.
