Getting rid of unwanted flavours
Certain types of food, particularly fish, may lose
some juice when they are being fried. The
juices thus ending up in the oil or fat may affect
the smell and taste of food that is subsequently
fried in the same oil or fat. To neutralise the
taste of the oil or fat, do the following:
- Heat the fryer to 160°C and put two thin
slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the
oil or fat. Wait until no more bubbles appear
and then scoop the bread or the parsley out
of the fryer with a spatula. The taste of the oil
or fat will now be neutral again.
A healthy diet
Specialists in the field of healthy food and drink
advise the use of vegetable oils and fats that
contain unsaturated fatty acids (such as linoleic
acid). However, these oils and fats lose their
favourable properties more quickly than other
oils and fats, so you will have to change them
more often.
- Change the oil or fat regularly. If you mainly
use the fryer to prepare French fries and if
you sieve the oil or fat after every use, you
can re-use the oil or fat 10 to 12 times.
However, do not use it longer than six
months and always follow the instructions on
the package.
• As a rule, oil or fat keeps less long if you fry
food that is rich in proteins, such as meat and
fish.
- Do not add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
- Change the oil if it starts foaming when it is
heated, when it has a strong taste or smell or
when it turns dark and/or syrupy.
Environment
It is best to dispose of used oil or liquid fat by
pouring it back into its original plastic bottle
with locking cap. You can dispose of solid fat by
letting it solidify and then scooping it out of the
fryer by means of a spatula and wrapping it in a
newspaper.
Put the bottles of oil or the newspaper in the
container for non-compostable waste or
dispose of them in accordance with the
regulations in your country.
Tables
The tables indicate how much of a particular
type of food you can fry at one time and which
temperature and preparation time you should
select.
• If the instructions on the package of the food
to be prepared differ from those in the table,
always follow the instructions on the package.
• Be careful to consult the table that applies to
your type of fryer: table A for type HD 6130
and table B for type HD 6132.
