HINTS
• When cooking foods dipped in
fresh batter, first lower basket.
Using tongs, add food directly
to oil. Use basket to lift out food
when finished cooking.
• Sort or cut food into pieces of
uniform size. All the food will
then be cooked in the same
amount of time. To reduce splat-
tering, remove excess moisture or ice from food.
• Store oil in oil container for a limited time. When oil has cooled
to room temperature, pour into a suitable container with lid and
refrigerate.
• The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general,
the oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying food containing
a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is mainly
used to fry potatoes and it is filtered after each use, it can be
used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the oil for longer than
6 months.
• It is important to follow the temperature recommendation for
every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried food absorbs
oil. If the temperature is too high, a crust quickly forms on the
outside while the inside remains uncooked.
• For best results, drop freshly sliced food into basket one piece
at a time.
