WARNING: Take care as the oil may spit as the food is added.
GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR FRYER
Oil
•Always ensure that you use good quality oil for deep frying. We recommend liquid vegetable oils, alternatively use corn, groundnut or rapeseed oil. Avoid mixing oils of different types and quality.
•Solid fat (lard) and solid oil can be used, this should be first melted in a pan until softened, then carefully transferred into the fryer bowl.
•Change the oil when it becomes brown or cloudy in colour, usually after frying 15 times. This will be the appropriate time to change the filter.
•IMPORTANT: Do not switch the fryer on until the fryer bowl is filled with oil or solid oil or lard.
Cooking
•Your food must always be completely dry in order to avoid overflowing, to prolong the use of the oil and to give a crisper finish to the food.
•Pieces of food should be of the same size and thickness.
•As a general guide,
•Do not overload the basket as it may cause a drop of temperature that may leave the food greasy.
•Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that your food may begin to turn golden brown before it is cooked through.
•Avoid leaving food to drain for too long in the basket as the food may become soft and lose it’s crunchiness.
•Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal utensils become hot and therefore should have insulated handles. When using metal utensils, take care not to damage the non- stick coating of the bowl.
•All foodstuffs contain moisture. When lowered into the hot oil, the water turns to steam. Most of the steam escapes harmlessly through the lid vent, but trapped steam may escape when opening the lid - so care is needed.
Chips
•Old potatoes are ideal for making chips. Your chips should be evenly sized so that they cook evenly. They should be rinsed in a colander under a cold tap and dried using a kitchen towel or absorbent paper. For best results, fry your chips for
•For best results, we recommend no more than 800g of frozen chips or 1000g of fresh chips are fried.
Emptying and cleaning
WARNING: Cleaning should only be carried out with the plug removed from the socket. The fryer should have completely cooled. Allow 3 hours for cooling.
