hints
●We would recommend the use of a good quality oil for deep frying, such as corn oil or groundnut oil. A good quality solid fat may also be used. Other oils may be used if they are specifically recommended by the manufacturer for deep frying. Never mix different oils or fat and do not use olive oil, butter or margarine as they will smoke or bubble over.
●
●Cook food thoroughly. The outside may look ready before the inside is cooked.
●Keep your fryer with oil (cooled and strained) inside it, ready for use. The lid keeps the dust out.
●Before frying battered food, drain off excess batter.
●To make chips, cut the potatoes up evenly, so they
cook evenly. Rinse and dry before cooking. For best results use dry floury textured potatoes i.e. King Edwards or Maris Piper.
●To prolong the life of your fryer, filter the oil after each use and change it after 8 - 10 uses.
●Shake off any excess ice before frying frozen foods. maximum food capacities
