7.3 Tips and tricks

–If you have large quantities of food to deep fry, you are advised to remove the basket from the tub after 1-2 minutes to allow the oil or fat to assume the selected temperature faster. The deep fried food will also become crisper.

–After every use of the deep fryer, remove any resulting remainders of food from the oil or fat.

–Replace the deep frying oil or fat completely if the food you are deep frying no longer becomes crispy despite having set the correct temperature or if the oil or fat goes brown.

–Only ever use fat for deep frying that is devoid of water and protein. Such fats have a high smoking point. This means that such a fat is a heat-resistant fat.

–The following foodstuffs are suitable for deep frying: small pieces of meat and fish, vegetables, potatoes, pastries, fruit and breaded foodstuffs.

–Do not deep fry very large quantities at once as the fat would cool down too much.

–After cooling down, close the lid. This is necessary for safety reasons and prevents dirt from falling into the fat.

Would you have known?

–With your deep fryer you have a possibility of preparing tasty meals.

–Valuable ingredients are retained and serve to protect your health.

–During deep frying (from 170°C), oil and fat takes on neither an odour nor taste. So, you can deep fry fish and fruits straight after one another. Residues (bread crumb coating etc.) must be removed.

–Remove ice from deep frozen foodstuffs. Fill the basket outside of the deep fryer.

–Allow deep frozen fish to thaw slightly. This will shorten the deep frying time and the fish will take on a lovely golden yellow colouring.

–Peel zucchini and aubergines before coating them with bread crumbs. The bread crumb coating will then adhere better.

–Cut into cutlets several times on the bone before deep frying them. This facilitates uniform deep frying.

–Moist or frozen food leads to particularly hefty foaming of the fat when it is inserted. Slowly lower the filled basket several times. This prevents overflowing of the fat.

–Dab freshly deep fried food with a kitchen cloth.

–Set the recommended temperature.

The surface will crust too fast if the frying fat is too hot. Its interior will remain raw, though.

The food will take on too much fat if the fat is too cold.

–If the fat is at the right temperature, its pores will close swiftly when it is dipped in and proteins will form a protective crust. So, only a small amount of fat is able to penetrate into it. Also dry freshly deep fried food with a kitchen cloth. This reduces the amount of fat even more.

–As the result of the short heating up time, valuable and vital nutrients such as vitamins and minerals are retained.

VF 230 specifications

The Gaggenau VF 230 is a premium wine cabinet that represents the pinnacle of wine storage technology, designed for connoisseurs and collectors alike. This meticulously engineered appliance not only showcases a refined aesthetic but also incorporates advanced features that ensure optimal conditions for wine preservation.

One of the standout characteristics of the Gaggenau VF 230 is its temperature control capabilities. It operates with a dual-zone system, allowing users to maintain two separate environments within the same cabinet, essential for storing different types of wine. The upper zone can be set between 5°C and 20°C, ideal for whites and sparkling wines, while the lower zone accommodates reds, maintaining a consistent temperature range of 10°C to 20°C. This flexibility is vital for ensuring that each wine is served at its ideal drinking temperature.

In addition to temperature regulation, the VF 230 incorporates a state-of-the-art humidity control system. This feature is critical for preserving cork integrity, as excessive dryness can cause corks to shrink, leading to oxidation and spoilage. The humidity level within the cabinet is carefully monitored and maintained between 50% and 80%, creating a stable environment that protects the wine from undesirable fluctuations.

The design of the VF 230 emphasizes both functionality and elegance. Its exterior is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, while the interior features natural beech wood shelves that gently cradle each bottle, minimizing vibrations that can disturb sediment. The shelves are adjustable, providing versatility for varying bottle sizes, and the soft-close mechanism ensures a smooth, silent operation, enhancing user experience.

Lighting is another key feature of the Gaggenau VF 230. It utilizes an LED lighting system that illuminates the interior without emitting heat, which can negatively affect the wines. The lighting can be adjusted to showcase the collection beautifully while preserving the integrity of the wine.

Furthermore, the VF 230 is equipped with advanced filtering systems to keep the air inside the cabinet free of impurities and odors. This is critical for ensuring that the wine does not absorb unwanted scents, which could compromise its flavor.

In summary, the Gaggenau VF 230 wine cabinet combines cutting-edge technology with luxurious design, offering wine lovers an exceptional solution for preserving their prized collections. With its dual-zone temperature control, humidity management, elegant shelving, adjustable LED lighting, and air filtration, the VF 230 is the ultimate choice for those who appreciate wine at its finest.
