Food from the freezer (-16 to -18cC) will cause the oil or fat to cool down considerably when the
food is immersed in it. Because the food does not sear right away, it may also absorb too much oil
or fat.
Take the following measures to prevent this:
-
Preferably allow frozen food to defrost at room temperature before frying.
-
Carefully shake off as much ice and water as possible and dab the food to be fried until it is
properly dry.
-
Do not fry very large quantities at one time (consult the table with preparation times and frying
temperatures).
-
Select the frying temperature indicated in the table in these instructions for use or on the
package of the food to be fried. If there are no instructions, select a temperature of 190cC.
-
Lower the food into the oil or fat very gently, since frozen food may cause the hot oil or fat to
start bubbling violently.
Getting rid of unwanted flavours
Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant flavour.To neutralise the
taste of the oil or fat:
1
Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160cC.
2
Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil.
3
Wait until no more bubbles appear and then scoop the bread or the parsley out of the fryer
with a spatula.
4
The oil or fat will now have a neutral taste again.
Storage
1
Put all parts back onto/into the fryer and close the lid.
2
Roll up the cord, push it back into the storage compartment and put the plug in the plug
fixing facility.
3
Lift the fryer by its handles.
