Notes on Cooking Time and Cooking Temperature
Be aware that the preset cooking temperatures and cooking times are averages. As
ingredients diff er due to their origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the op-
timum setting for the ingredients. The actual cooking times may therefore vary depending
on the portion size. Make sure prior to serving that the food is fully cooked through!
Homemade Chips
Ingredients:
potatoes (waxy)
a little oil (if necessary)
To taste salt

Preparation:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks of equal size.
2. Thoroughly wash the potatoes and then dry them off .
3. Add 1 – 2 tbsp. of oil to the potatoes and mix in.
It is not essential to add oil. However, adding oil will make the chips crispier
and give them a more intense fl avour.
4. Set the cooking temperature to approx. 180 °C.
5. Set the timer to 10 minutes.
6. Mix around the chips.
7. Set the timer to 15 minutes again.
The chips are cooked when they are golden brown.
Tips:
• Mix your favourite herbs and spices into the oil before adding it. This will allow you
for example to prepare tasty curry or paprika-fl avoured chips. There are no limits to
your imagination.
• Depending on how thick you cut your potatoes, you can vary between potato wedges
and thick or thin chips. The thicker the potatoes are cut, the longer the cooking time.
• Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take longer to
cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.
• Wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch
in the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then thoroughly dry the potatoes. The less moisture is
present, the crispier the chips will become.
• Preboiled potatoes will cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into small sticks and
preboil them for around fi ve minutes. This will prevent the chips from being crispy on
the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.
