Deep Fry
CAUTION:
l Do not let cord hang or drape over edge of counter or table within reach of children.
l Remove cover for all deep frying. Never use any cover while oil is heating or while
deep frying in this unit.
l CAUTION: OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX. The combination can be dangerous.
When the oil is heated, any water droplets in the oil super-heat, becoming a volatile
steam that can cause hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the multi-cooker.
Hot oil can cause severe burns!
Accordingly, before pouring oil into the multi-cooker be sure that it is
COMPLETELY dry. Before placing food in multi-cooker, always remove ice
crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry with toweling.
l Use caution when deep frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpup-
pies, and fritters. These foods may develop air bubbles during heating, which may
burst and cause burns. Use a slotted spoon or tongs, rather than a fork, when turning
food during frying and when removing food from oil.
l Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. Dur-
ing deep frying, oil can become trapped within these bubbles. If not properly drained,
the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, carefully
raise them out of the cooking oil, but not out of the Kitchen Kettle, and allow oil to
drain from the tortilla for approximately 30 seconds.
l Always allow multi-cooker to cool completely before moving, removing oil, or clean-
ing.
How To Use:
Place multi-cooker on a dry, level, stable, heat resistant surface away from countertop
edge. Fill unit with cooking oil or shortening up to oil level line, which is located on inside
of unit. Never use more than seven, 8-ounce cups of cooking oil. Set the heat control at
400˚ and preheat for 20 minutes. Leave heat control at 400˚ for frying.
During preheat time, prepare food for deep frying, making sure to remove excess mois-
ture by patting food dry. While steam/fry basket is sitting on countertop, fill basket up
to ¾ full with food. Once oil has preheated, slowly lower basket into oil. Fry food until
golden brown.
Lift basket and using drain hook, hook basket onto multi-cooker rim to drain. Empty
basket on absorbent paper.
Allow oil to cool completely before handling the unit. If you plan to reuse the oil, strain
it to remove any food particles. Store strained oil in a tightly sealed container in a cool,
dark place.
