Safety Requirements for
Deep Fat Frying
Warming Zone
Using the Warming
Zone
USING THE HOB
IMPORTANT:
As there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil,
particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be
left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) or in close proximity to
hotplates.
In the unfortunate event of a fire it will assist in smothering the flames if the
pan lid is replaced, and the electricity supply is switched OFF.
1.
Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate
heating area.
2.
Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
3.
Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4.
Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only
lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5.
Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot
oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if
added too quickly.
6.
Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7.
Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
Adjacent to the hotplates, on the left hand side, is a warming zone.
This provides a constant heated area with a maximum surface temperature
of 110° C.
IMPORTANT
Care should be taken that utensils placed on the warming zone do not
have sharp or rough bases as these could damage the enamel.
The warming zone is operated by depressing the appropriate
on/off switch on the control panel.
(Refer to Know Your Control Panel – page 13).
The warming zone is suitable for the following:
Plate and dish warming
Keeping food hot
Melting ingredients
Warming rolls and croissants
Keeping coffee and sauces hot.
