TIPS
Oil
• Use a special cooking oil which can withstand high temperatures without
deteriorating.
• Never mix different types of oil. We recommend you use a vegetable oil.
• To make the oil or fat last longer, do not season or flavour the food during
the cooking process, or while the basket is above the bowl.
• Always filter the oil after using your deep fryer to remove any carbonised
particles.
• After you have used your deep fryer 8 or 10 times, change the oil.
• If you do not use you deep fryer often, transfer the oil to a sealed container.
When transferring the oil, make sure you never mix fresh and used fats.
Cooking Hints
• For a really crispy result, dry all foods thoroughly prior to frying.
• In the case of frozen products, remove any excess ice and wait
for the oil to reach the right temperature before frying them.
Fry them in smaller batches than you would fresh french fries.
As they cook, they will release water, causing the oil to boil more
fiercely and will increase the risk of splashing.
• To fry meat, fish, poultry, doughnuts, etc… we recommend that you lower the empty
basket into the deep fryer before adding the food. This way, you will avoid them sticking to
the basket.
• Before serving, fasten the basket to the hook and wait for it to drain a little above the oil. Drain
the food after frying on kitchen paper.
French fries
• For the best results, choose Maris Piper potatoes for your french fries. To prevent them from
sticking to each other, immerse them in hot water and wait until the water becomes clear, to
remove as much starch as possible. Dry them thoroughly using a tea towel. The french fries
must be dry before being fried.
• French fries and other foods will colour more evenly if you shake the basket carefully from time
to time while they are cooking.
