6Note: The timer signals the end of cooking but does not switch off the appliance.
*Freshly harvested potatoes may require a longer cooking time to obtain a crisper more golden brown result.
**For best results we recommend using frozen chips without any wheat flour batter coating as they tend to give less crisp results and the batter may fall off during cooking (check the ingredient list on the packet for details).
Meat- poultry
To add a little flavour to your meat, don’t hesitate to mix spices in with the oil (paprika, curry, mixed herbs, thyme, bay leaf, etc).
