6. The best way to fry

As a rule, you don't need any oil to prepare food in the hot air
■
fryer. However, adding a few drops of oil can enhance the flavour.
Generally speaking, the hot air fryer can be used to prepare any
dishes that can be cooked in a convection oven.
To deep-fry in the hot air fryer, all food must be as dry as possible.
■
Dry the food well before adding it into the frying basket 2.
Waxy potatoes are best-suited for making potato dishes in the hot
■
air fryer. Rinse the sliced potato pieces in fresh water to prevent
them sticking to each other during cooking. Dry the potato pieces
off carefully before putting them in the hot air fryer.
Remove any ice crystals or frozen water thoroughly from frozen food.
■
Make sure that breadcrumbs do not come off the breaded food but
■
adhere as firmly as possible to the fried food.
Follow the preparation instructions on the packaging of the food.
■
Set the temperature and cooking time as recommended.
If there are no recommendations on the food packaging for prepara-
■
tion in a hot air fryer, follow the instructions for convection ovens.
Avoid frying large quantities at once. For ideal browning results,
■
we recommend cooking a maximum of 400–500 g of deep-frozen
chips at once.
Do not overfill the frying basket 2! Fill the frying basket to no higher
■
than the MAX marking. Make sure that the food you are frying can-
not reach the heating element on the upper side of the interior.
Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed when frying
■
foodstuffs with a high starch content. Foods containing starch, such
as chips, should therefore only be deep-fried until golden yellow
instead of dark or brown. This is the only way to achieve low-acryla-
mide cooking.
To ensure even browning and a crispy consistency, e.g. for chips
■
or chicken nuggets, the fried food must be shaken or turned over
1–2 times during cooking.
–
To do this, pull the pan 7 with the frying basket 2 out of the
appliance and shake the food or turn it over using a suitable
implement. Then put the pan 7 including the frying basket 2
back in place.
