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 q to more than the maximum fill level marked on the inside of the
basket. This equates to around 450 g of frozen chips.
■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.
Adjust the temperature control 5 to the temperature specified in these
■
operating 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.

How to prevent unwanted aftertaste

Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being deep-fried. These
fluids collect in the oil or fat and can impair the smell and taste of foods that are
deep-fried in the same oil or fat afterwards.
Proceed as follows to obtain neutral-tasting oil or fat:
■ Heat the fat or oil to 150°C and place two thin slices of bread or a couple
of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket q.
Lower the frying basket q into the fat and close the lid.
■
■ Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley
with a skimmer. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.

Healthy nutrition

Nutrition experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing
unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic acid). However, these oils and fats lose their
beneficial properties faster than other oils and must therefore be replaced more
frequently. Orient yourself on the following guidelines:
■ Replace the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep fat fryer mainly to
prepare chips and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used
10 to 12 times.
■ However, do not use the oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow
the instructions provided on the packaging.
