COOKING TIMES

The cooking times are given as an approximate guide and may vary depending on the
seasonality of the food, its size, the quantities used and individual tastes, as well as the voltage
of the mains system. The amount of oil indicated may be increased depending on your taste
and needs. If you want crisper chips, you can add a few extra minutes to the cooking.

sized chips
10 mm x 10

Traditional
chips
* Freshly harvested potatoes may require a longer cooking time to obtain a crisper more
golden brown result.
** For best results we recommend using frozen chips without any wheat flour batter coating
as they tend to give less crisp results and the batter may fall off during cooking (check the
ingredient list on the packet for details).
Meat- poultry
To add a little flavour to your meat, don't hesitate to mix spices in with the oil (paprika,
- fig.12. The
curry, mixed herbs, thyme, bay leaf, etc).
