and make the oil last longer.
When preparing potato-based food (chips, crisps, etc.) cut them up and then wash
them in cold water to remove the starch. Dry them carefully. This will stop them
sticking together.
COOKING
Do not overfill the basket. This will cause the oil temperature dropping and make the
food not very brittle.
Do not keep oil at high temperature for long periods. This will make it lose its
properties.
Set the temperature controller to the lowest temperature while waiting between two
batches.
Do not leave the cooked food in the basket in draining position too long. The vapors
could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
Frozen food can be cooked in the basket without being defrosted.
After cooking
Oil can be left in the fryer with its basket and lid on. It will not lose its properties.
Change the oil regularly.
