How To Prevent Unwanted Aftertaste; Healthy Nutrition - Silvercrest SFM 850 A4 Operating Instructions Manual

How to prevent unwanted aftertaste

Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being deep-fried . These
fluids collect in the oil or fat and can impair the smell and taste of foods that are
deep-fried in the same oil or fat afterwards .
Proceed as follows to obtain neutral-tasting oil or fat:
■ Heat the fat or oil to 150°C and place two thin slices of bread or a couple
of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket q .
■ Lower the frying basket q into the fat and close the lid .
■ Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley
with a skimmer . The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again .

Healthy nutrition

Nutrition experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing
unsaturated fatty acids (e .g . linoleic acid) . However, these oils and fats lose their
beneficial properties faster than other oils and must therefore be replaced more
frequently . Orient yourself on the following guidelines:
■ Replace the oil or fat regularly . If you use the deep fat fryer mainly to
prepare chips and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used
10 to 12 times .
■ However, do not use the oil or fat for longer than six months . Always follow
the instructions provided on the packaging .
■ As a general rule, oils and fats cannot be used so often if you mainly
deep-fry protein-rich foods such as meat or fish .
■ Do not mix fresh oil with used oil .
■ Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated, if it develops a strong taste
or odour, if it becomes dark and/or if it develops a syrupy consistency .
