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 approx one hour before
frying. This will help remove a portion of the
sugar content, which is one of the constituent
products for the formation of acrylamides.
• Carefully dry the potatoes.
• Always fry home-made potatoes 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 to a considerabe extent, because of this they
do not cook fast enough and possibly also soak up
too much oil of fat. To avoid these occurences, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once.
The food to be fried must be completely covered
with cooking oil/fat after lowering the frying
basket 3.
• Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting
the frozen foodstuffs.
• Adjust the temperature controller 8 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 before lowering the
frying basket 3 into the hot oil or fat. There is a risk
of fire caused by splashing fat!
• Always insert the foodstuffs as slowly and care-
fully as possible into the deep fryer, as deep
frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble
heftily and abruptly.

How to remove undesirable after-tastes

Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when
being fried. These fluids collect in the oil or fat and
can influence the smell and taste of fried foods that
are later cooked in the same oil or fat.
Proceed as follows to again obtain a neutral tasting
oil or fat:
• Heat the fat or oil to 160°C and and place two
thin slices of bread or a couple of small sprigs of
parsley into the frying basket 3.
Attention!
Absolutely close the appliance lid before lowering
the frying basket 3 with the parsley or the bread
into hot oil or fat. Splattering fats can cause serious
burns.
• Close the appliance lid and then lower the
frying basket 3 into the fat.
• Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and
remove the bread or parsley with a skimmer. The
oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.
