any of the appliance's hot surfaces and do not place your

Avoiding acrylamide
According to the latest research, excessive browning, especially
in foods containing starch, may cause a health hazard due to the
acrylamide formation in the crust.
• Do not brown food to an excessive degree.
• Remove burnt residues. Do not brown food to an excessive
extent. Fry fresh potatoes and other carbohydrate-rich foods,
such as cereal-based products, at a temperature no higher
than 180°C to avoid the development of harmful acrylamide.
• Try to use the lowest possible temperatures and short cook-
ing times. Potato products should be cooked to a golden yel-
low colour at most. The darker the chips or crisps, the higher
the probability that they contain acrylamide.
• If you prepare chips yourself from raw potatoes, you should
not store your potatoes under 10°C.
• Potatoes which have sprouted and potatoes with green ting-
es should not be eaten.
