Making Home-Made Fries - Philips HD972 Series User Manual

Tip
• If you set the timer to half the cooking time, when you hear the timer bell it is
time to shake or turn the ingredients. Be sure to reset the timer to the remaining
cooking time.
9 When you hear the timer bell, the set cooking time has elapsed. You can also
switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the power-on knob to 0
(counterclockwise); this requires some more force than turning clockwise
(Fig. 18).
Note
• Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan below the
fat reducer.
• If you prepare several batches of fatty ingredients (e.g. drumsticks, sausages
or hamburgers), carefully pour off any excess oil or rendered fat from pan after
each batch or before shaking or replacing the basket in the pan.
10 Remove the pan from the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface
(Fig. 19).
11 Check if the ingredients are ready.
Note
• If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the
appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
• After hot Airfrying, the pan, the basket, the fat reducer, the accessories, the
housing and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in
the basket, steam may escape from the pan.
12 Press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan (Fig. 20).
13 Empty the basket contents into a bowl or onto a plate. Always remove the
basket with ingredients from the pan to serve as hot oil or rendered fat may be
in bottom of the pan (Fig. 21).
Note
• To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift out ingredients.

Making home-made fries

To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer:
-
Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh, russet potatoes.
- It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 500 grams / 17.5 oz for an even
result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries.
- Shake the basket 2-3 times during the airfrying process.
1 Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks.
2 Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
3 Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper towel.
