Cooking Guide

These frying times and temperatures are intended as a guide only and should be adjusted to suit quantity or thickness of food and your own taste.

There are 2 sizes of Morphy Richards fryer, 2 and 3 litres. Check the capacity of your fryer before using, if you overfill the Basket the fryer could overflow or not cook the food properly.
