When you fry fatty ingredients,
a large amount of oil or
rendered fat leaks into pan. The
oil or fat may cause white smoke
and the pan may heat up more
than usual. This does not affect
the appliance or the end result.
Midway through the cooking
process you can carefully pour
off any excess oil or rendered fat
from the pan and then continue
cooking. You can also place the
splatter-proof lid on the basket
and continue cooking.
White smoke is caused by greasy
residue heating up in the pan.
Make sure you clean the pan
properly after each use.
Place the splatter-proof lid on
the basket.
White smoke can be caused by
tiny pieces of airborne breading.
Press breading or coating to food
to ensure it sticks.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl
for at least 30 minutes, take them
out and dry them with paper
towel.
Use fresh potatoes and be sure
they stay firm during frying.
