ENG Preparation for use
Preparing food for frying
• Remove excess moisture (water and ice) from the food.• No matter what the recipe, food must be perfectly dry : this will prevent overflowing and extend the life of the oil. When dishes include raw potatoes (chips, crisps and potato straws), wash them in cold water to get rid of the starch. This will stop them from sticking together. Dry them carefully and thoroughly with paper kitchen towel. Before cooking, remove any ice crystals on the food by shaking the basket of food to be fried over the sink.
•Fill the basket.•Reduce food quantity for frozen food.Cut food to the same size so that it cooks evenly. Avoid using pieces that are too thick.
