Now the oil/fat in the fryer has the opportunity to
regain the set temperature
(approx. 3 to 5 minutes).
- Fig. 11. Empty the fried food into a colander or
strainer with fat absorbing paper (e.g. kitchen
paper).
- Remove loose particles with a skimmer from
the oil/fat: it would have an adverse effect on
the quality of the fat/oil if they would become
charred by cooking many times.
- Remove the plug from the socket after use.
- Fig. 12. Filter the oil/fat (if so desired) after
cooling down sufficiently. (Please refer to
“Tips”.)
- Store the pan with the lid in position. This keeps
dust etc. from the pan.
Table
In the table below is indicated what types of food
can be prepared with the fryer and what
temperature and preparation times should be
chosen. The table also indicates the maximum
quantity per preparation. You may deviate a little
from these instructions, depending on the
quantities to be prepared and on your personal
taste.
French fries
To obtain the nicest and most crispy French fries:
• Use not too new potatoes.
• Cut the potatoes first to thick slices and then to
sticks. Rinse the sticks in a colander under the
cold water tap: this will prevent the sticks to
adhere to one another while frying. Dry the
sticks using e.g. kitchen paper.
• French fries should be prepared in two steps:
- firstly at 160 °C (320 °F), during 8-10
minutes.
- secondly at 190 °C (374 °F), during 2-4
minutes.
During the second step shake the frying basket
at small intervals; then the French fries will get
a fine overall brown.
Deep frozen food
Food from your deep freezer or from the freezer
compartment of your fridge (-16 to -18 °C or -1 to
3 °F) will cool down the oil/fat vastly when lowered
into it, so that too much oil/fat may be absorbed.
• For that reason, do not put too big portions into
*) For frozen food the preparation times may be longer than indicated.
**) For new French fries please refer to section “French fries”.
