•
Never over-fill the fry basket with food.
NOTE: Maximum food frying capacity is 1 to
1.5 cups at one time. The fry basket should never be more than 2/3 full of food to
be fried.
•
Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the
hot oil can freely circulate all around the food.
•
In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
•
Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces together so they will be
cooked in the same amount of time.
•
Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying.
Water on the surface of the food can cause the oil to spatter and foam.
•
When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine, uniform crumbs stick
better than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off all extra breading to help keep oil clean.
•
To prevent contamination of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food
during frying or when the food is draining above the oil.
•
Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
•
For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, place the
foods into the basket first and then lower the fry basket into the hot oil.
•
Always use the fry basket to lift food out of the oil; hook the basket to the rim and
allow oil to drain. Then remove fried food from the fry basket.
•
Place fried foods on brown grocery bags to drain oil and keep fried foods crispy.
FrYINg OIL
WARNING! NEvER, UNDER ANy CIRCUmSTANCES, ADD WATER OR ANy OTHER
LIqUID TO THE OIL.
•
Never over-fill or under-fill the fryer with oil. The MAX oil capacity is (3.75 cups/.9 L).
The MIN oil capacity is (2 cups/450ml). Both the MIN and MAX oil levels are marked
on the inside of the tank.
WARNING: Under or over-filling the oil tank may damage the Deep Fryer and could
result in serious personal injury.
•
Always use sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, vegetable oil or corn oil. Never use hard fats,
olive oil or oil with a high water content.
•
Never mix different oils together to fry foods.
•
Never use butter or margarine to fry foods.
•
When frying fish or seafood, the oil may absorb a “fishy” taste or odor. To eliminate
transferring this “fishy” taste or odor to other foods, we suggest changing the oil
before frying other foods.
•
Cooled, used oil should be removed from the tank and filtered after every frying
session. Cleaned oil can be used several times.
•
Replace used oil with fresh if the oil smokes when heated.
•
Replace used oil with fresh if the oil foams or bubbles when heated.
