Using your VersaCook in the Deep Fryer mode - continued
General cooking method
(For pre-cooked, crumbed, floured or wrapped
food.)
1. Ensure the oil has reached the required
temperature. Remove the lid, lift the
basket and put it on the rest (3) so that
it is not in contact with the oil.
2. Basket rest for raised position
Place the food, (should be as dry as possible)
into the raised basket.
Note: The basket should always be in the
raised position when it is to be filled with
food.
3. Lower the basket into the pan.
4. Do not cook food with the lid on.
5. Once the food is cooked (see Deep Fryer
Frying Times and Temperatures guide
chart on page 8), place the basket on
its raised position to drain for a few
seconds.
6. Remove the basket and put the fried food
on a plate covered with absorbent paper
or kitchen towel.
7. When finished with the deep fryer,
remove the plug from mains power.
8. Clean the fryer only after the oil is
completely cooled down.
Cooking home battered food
This method allows for the fact that if
wet batter is placed in the basket prior to
cooking, the food may stick to the basket.
This method of cooking requires extreme
care.
1. Ensure the oil has reached the required
temperature.
Note: Leave the basket in the down position.
2. Remove the lid of the fryer.
3. Coat the food in batter and allow it to
drain slightly to get rid of the excess
coating.
4. Very carefully, slowly lower the coated
food into the hot oil, using a suitable
implement or tongs. This allows the
batter to become solid and prevents it
sealing to the mesh of the basket.
Note: Remember to take care as the oil may
spit as the food is added.
You can now follow the instructions as given
in the general cooking method, steps 4 - 8.
