Cold Oil Zone; Draining The Frying Oil Or Fat - Gaggenau VF 230 Instrucciones De Uso

Cold oil zone

Any water contained in the food sinks to the bottom of
the deep fryer into so-called cold oil zone below the
heating element. This prevents the oil frothing over.
Also, any particles of food which break away during
frying fall through the basket and sink to this cold zone.
The lower temperature in this zone prevents the oil
breaking down and considerably prolongs the time for
which the oil or fat can be used. The foaming edge
contains the foam that occurs during deep frying.
m
Risk of burns!
Water in hot oil generates a fat explosion. Before
heating up the appliance, drain a small amount
(approx. one cup) of water from the cold oil zone.
