Filling the Frying Basket

•Do not fill the frying basket when it is immersed in oil.

•Place the food in the frying basket. Do not overfill it and never exceed the maximum quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time, basket should be only 1/2 full.

•The basket has approximately 1.5 lb. food capacity. It will hold 4-5 average size pieces of chicken.

•Do not fill the basket higher than the MAX line on the basket with frozen food. (Fig. 5)

Frying Food

WARNING: When frying foods, remove the frying basket from the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer before filling with frozen food because oil will spatter and can cause burns.

WARNING: When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed 1.25 lb. (350 grams) or less. Clean off any ice from frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so may cause fryer to overflow when food is placed in oil. CAUTION: Never plug in the control panel when it is not assembled to the fryer body. Do not immerse the control panel, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

CAUTION: This unit should not be used to boil water.

•Always use the frying basket to fry food.

•Always close the cover during frying.

•When the oil is pre-heated, ready indicator light will come on indicating the desired oil temperature has been reached.

•Slowly lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too quickly can result in the oil overflowing and splashing.

•Replace the cover carefully.

•It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the cover while frying.

•Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is cooking.

WARNING: When opening the cover after frying, lift up the cover slightly, then wait to allow steam to escape before opening the cover completely. Keep face away from unit to avoid burns caused by escaping steam.

Frying Tips

•To avoid condensation buildup on the cover window - rub a little cooking oil on window.

•Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.

•Replace oil regularly. In general, oil used to fry food with protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish) should not be reused. When oil is used mainly to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the same oil for more than 6 months.

•Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color becomes dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.

•Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.

•Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying.

•To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.

•Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.

CELERY ROOT FRIES

PRO/FATS AND VEGGIES - LEVEL ONE

Makes 4 servings

Here’s a way to have fries without the potatoes! My Celery Root Fries are wonderful. The thinner you cut the celery root, the crunchier they will be.

Prep time: 12 minutes

Cooking time: 12- 24 minutes

Peanut or vegetable oil for frying

2 large celery roots

2 large egg whites, beaten until slightly foamy

2 teaspoons Somersize Citrus Champignon Mushroom Rub Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat oil in the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer to 320° F.

Peel away outer skin of celery root. Slice celery root into ⅛-inch thick slices. Cut these slices into ¼-inch wide strips to form fries. Place egg whites into a shallow bowl. Dip celery root into egg whites then sprinkle with mushroom rub.

Place ⅓ of the celery root into Frying Basket and lower basket into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all celery root is cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
