Tips

Home-made chips

• Potatoes intended for frying should be faultless
and not germinating.
• Use potato varieties suitable for frying, such as
"King Edward", "Morris Piper", "Cara" etc.
• After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the
intended preparation (chips or slices).
• Soak the potatoes for ca. one hour before frying.
This will help remove a portion of the sugar con-
tent, which is one of the constituent products for
the formation of acrylamides.
• Carefully dry the potatoes.
• Always fry home-made chips twice:
• first for 10-12 minutes at 160°C then for 3-4 mi-
nutes at 170°C, depending on the desired degree
of browning.
• Deep frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only
need to be fried once. Comply with the instruc-
tions on the packaging.

Frozen Foods

Deep frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18 °C) cool the oil
or fat considerably, because of this do not cook fast
enough and possibly soak up too much oil of fat.
To avoid these things, proceed as follows:
• Do not fry large amounts at once (see Table).
• Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting
the frozen foodstuffs.
• Adjust the temperature controller 7 to the tem-
perature specified in these operating instructions
or on the packaging of the foodstuff.
• Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw
at room temperature. Remove as much ice and
water as possible before inserting the food into
the deep fryer.
Attention!
Always close the appliance lid w before lowering
the frying basket 2 into the hot oil or fat. There is a
risk of fire caused by splashing fat!
• Always insert the foodstuffs as slowly and carefully
as possible into the deep fryer, as deep frozen
foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble heftily
and abruptly.
