^ The oil or fat must be hot enough to
seal the food quickly. If the tempera-
ture is too low the food will absorb
too much fat which will make it diffi-
cult to digest.
For this reason, wait until the temper-
ature indicator goes out (which
means the set temperature has been
reached), before you place more
food in the fryer.
^ Do not fry too much food all at once
as this cools the oil too quickly.
^ Heat the oil only for as long as neces-
sary. This will keep it in good condi-
tion for longer.
^ Food should be as dry as possible as
moisture can cause frothing. Dab
food which is damp dry with kitchen
paper towel. Remove traces of ice
from deep frozen food.

^ Lower the frying basket slowly so that
the oil does not froth over.
^ Rinsing freshly cut potatoes under
running water and then drying them
thoroughly with kitchen paper towel
will prevent them sticking together.
^ Place baking made with yeast dough
in the basket with the risen side fac-
ing downwards and then turn
half-way through the cooking time.
^ Never season food before frying.
Salt, seasoning or icing sugar can be
added to the fried food once any ex-
cess oil / fat has been removed.
Never add salt to fried food in the
frying basket while the basket is
over the hot oil. This can cause the
oil to froth over.
