·
You can add a table spoon of oil for a crunchier result, for instance olive oil, sunflower oil or groundnut
oil. Mix this oil well with the raw fries before placing the fries in the basket. Other ingredients can be
sprayed with oil or coated with oil with a brush. Always make sure that there is no excessive oil added
in the basket or frying pan. Do not use too much oil. Then the fries will become less crisp and greasy.
·
Put fresh, raw fries in water for 30 minutes before frying them, so that the starch of the potatoes is
washed away. Dry them thoroughly afterwards.
·
Do not cook very greasy foods in this fryer.
·
When you are preparing greasy ingredients, white smoke might come out of the appliance. However,
this does not affect the operation of the appliance or the end result. Also when the fryer is not properly
cleaned, or if any oil is left behind in the frying pan, white smoke might develop.
·
Snacks that can be cooked inside an oven can also be cooked inside this fryer.
·
Smaller quantities are fried more evenly than larger quantities.
·
Thinner fries will be crispier than thicker fries.
·
Place a baking tin or oven tray inside the basket if you want to make a cake or quiche, or fragile or
stuffed ingredients.
·
You can also use this fryer to reheat ingredients. Set the fryer to 150°C, for 10 minutes.
·
Ingredients that need to be cooked at the same temperature can be placed inside the basket together
and cooked together.
·
Frozen products do not need to be thawed beforehand.
·
You can use baking paper or aluminum foil or trays in the basket of the fryer, but do be very careful
when you do this. Do not cover the whole bottom of the basket. The air should be able to circulate well
through the appliance, the basket and the ingredients. Also, there should be enough food on the paper
or foil, so that it stays in place. Otherwise, the strong air flow will cause the paper or foil to be sucked
into the heating elements, which could cause fire. Make sure that the baking paper or aluminum foil is
larger than the food itself. However, the paper or foil should not come out of the basket.
·
Oven snacks always give the best, crispiest result. But also frozen snacks suitable for a regular fryer
can be fried in this appliance.
