thick.
Shake frozen foods to detach
pieces of ice away from the
deep fryer.
Not all frozen foods are ready to
use. Check the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Add salt and pepper away from
the deep fryer to avoid getting in
the oil. For crispy fried food, open
the lid as soon as you have fini-
shed cooking.

tor light to go out before lowering
food into oil.

comes completely out of the bowl (fig. 8).
• Close the fryer lid cover and then serve the prepa-
