Practical advice
Oils and fats
•
Always use oil that can withstand high
temperature.
•
Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
•
Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown
after cooking.
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
•
Change the fat or oil regularly, after
approximately 20 batches.
