time. Carefully dry the food before immersing it in the oil or fat, to avoid oil being sprayed; furthermore, wet

food will be less crisp after cooking (especially potatoes).

Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be crumbed before frying, making sure the

excess flour or breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil.

When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. Then, when the set temperature has

been reached, immerse the food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.

When referring to the following table, please keep in mind that the cooking times and temperatures are

approximate, and must be adjusted according to the quantity of food and personal tastes.

FRYING FROZEN FOODS

Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures. Consequently, they significantly lower the temperature of

the liquid used for cooking. For optimum results, do not overfill the basket. Frozen foods are often covered

with a layer of ice; this ice should be removed before cooking. Immerse the basket in the oil very slowly to

prevent the oil from boiling over. The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted according to the

initial temperature of the food being fried and the temperatures indicated on the packaging of the food.
