Achieving The Best Results - Silvercrest SHLF 1000 A2 Operating Instructions Manual

6. Achieving the best results

As a rule, you do not need any oil to prepare food in the hot air
■
fryer. However, adding a few drops of oil can enhance the flavour.
Generally speaking, the hot air fryer can be used to prepare any
dishes that can be cooked in a convection oven.
To deep-fry in the hot air fryer, the food must be as dry as possible.
■
Dry the food well before adding it into the frying pot 7.
Waxy potatoes are best-suited for making potato dishes in the hot
■
air fryer. Rinse the sliced potato pieces in fresh water to prevent
them sticking to each other during cooking. Dry the potato pieces off
carefully before putting them in the hot air fryer.
Remove any ice crystals or frozen water thoroughly from frozen food.
■
Make sure that breadcrumbs do not come off breaded food but
■
adhere as firmly as possible to the food.
Follow the preparation instructions on the packaging of the food. Set
■
the temperature and cooking time as recommended.
If there are no recommendations on the food packaging for prepara-
■
tion in a hot air fryer, follow the instructions for convection ovens.
Avoid frying large quantities at once. For ideal browning results, we
■
recommend cooking a maximum of 200 g of deep-frozen chips at
once.
Do not overfill the frying pot 7! Do not fill it up to more than the
■
MAX marking 6. Make sure that the food you are frying cannot
come into contact with the heating element on the upper side of the
interior.
Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed when frying
■
foodstuffs with a high starch content.
Foods containing starch, such as chips, should therefore only be
deep-fried until golden yellow instead of dark or brown. This is the
only way to achieve low-acrylamide cooking.
To ensure even browning and a crispy consistency, e.g. for chips
■
or chicken nuggets, the fried food must be shaken or turned over
1–2 times during cooking.
To do this, pull the frying pot 7 out of the appliance and shake
–
the food or turn it over using a suitable implement. Then replace
the frying pot 7 in the appliance.
