Cooking in your fryer

Preheating

After approximately 20 minutes, the oil is at the right temperature. The light indicator may come on and go out once or twice with thermostat changes.

During frying

The indicator light may come on and go out several times as the correct preset temperature is being maintained.

There are two methods of cooking in your fryer; one general method for most food stuffs and another for home battered products.

General cooking method

1When the correct temperature for cooking has been reached, open the lid of the fryer raise the basket, rest it into its raised position. Place the food to be cooked, which should be as dry as possible, into the raised basket of your fryer. THE BASKET SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE RAISED POSITION WHEN IT IS TO BE FILLED WITH FOOD.

2Lower the basket into the oil or fat and close the lid.

3Check the progress of your food during cooking by opening the lid.

4Open the lid and wait a few seconds before raising the basket as this allows the steam to escape. Care should be taken when opening the lid, as steam may

still be released at pressure.

Cooking home battered foods

This method allows for the fact that if wet batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking, the food may stick to the basket. This method of cooking requires extreme care.

1Ensure that the correct temperature has been reached (approximately 20 minutes pre-heating) open the lid of the fryer, leaving the basket in the down position.

2Coat the raw food in the batter and allow to drain slightly to get rid of excess coating. Very carefully and slowly, lower the coated food into the hot oil, using suitable implement or tongs. This allows the batter to become solid and prevents it sealing to the mesh of the basket.

Remember to take care as the oil may spit as the food is added.

3Close the lid and allow the food to cook. You may now follow the instructions as given in ‘general cooking method’ from point 3.

AFTER USE, DISCONNECT YOUR FRYER FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BY REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE WALL SOCKET.
