Preparing the food
Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry: this will
avoid overflowing and make the oil or fat 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 greasy.
Do not keep the 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 the 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 or fat can be left in the fryer with its basket and lid on. It will not
lose its properties.
Change the fat or oil regularly, after approximately 20 batches.
