Tips

Home-made chips

■ The potatoes you plan to fry should be in good condition and not germinating.
■ Use potato varieties that are suitable for frying, such as those that are
"floury" or "waxy".
■ After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips
or wedges).
■ Soak the potatoes for about one hour prior to use. This will help remove part
of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the formation
of acrylamide.
■ Carefully dry the potatoes.
■ Always fry home-made chips twice:
–
first for 8 - 12 minutes at 150°C then for 3 - 4 minutes at 170°C,
depending on the desired degree of browning.
■ Deep-frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once.
Follow the instructions on the packaging.

Deep-frozen foods

Deep-frozen foodstuffs (-16°C to -18°C) cool the oil or fat to a considerable
extent, because of this they do not sear fast enough and may therefore soak up
too much oil or fat. To avoid this, proceed as follows:
■ Do not attempt to deep-fry large amounts all at once. Do not fill the frying
basket
basket.
■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.
■ Adjust the temperature control
ating instructions or on the food's packaging.
■ Preferably, allow the deep-frozen food to thaw at room temperature prior to
deep-frying. Remove as much ice and water as possible before adding the
food into the deep fat fryer.
■ Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat
fryer, as deep-frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble violently and
abruptly.
