How to hinder unwanted aftertastes

Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being fried . These fluids
collect in the oil or fat and can influence the smell and taste of fried foods that
are later cooked in the same oil or fat .
Proceed as follows to obtain a neutral-tasting oil or fat:
■ Heat the fat or oil to 150°C and and place two thin slices of bread or a
couple of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket 3 .
WARNING! RISK OF BURNS!
Always close the appliance lid r before lowering the frying basket 3 with
the parsley or the bread into the hot oil or fat .
Splashing fat can cause burns .
■ Close the appliance lid r and then lower the frying basket 3 into the fat .
■ 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

Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing
unsaturated fatty acids (e .g . linoleic acid) . However, these oils and fats lose their
positive characteristics faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged
more frequently .
Orient yourself on the following guidelines:
■ Exchange 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 given on the packaging .
■ As a general rule, oils and fats cannot be used so often if you mainly fry
foods with lots of proteins, such as meat or fish .
■ Do not mix fresh oil with old 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 .
