Cooking Guide - Brandt FRI2102E Manuel D'instruction

B. COOKING GUIDE
The table below provides cooking guidelines for foods which are commonly deep fried. All the foods
have been fried using the oil at the MAX level.
The maximum basket capacity is 1000g but for excellent results, we recommend you do
not exceed the weights given in the table.
Food Type
Frozen fry chips
Fresh plaice
coated in home

Frozen cod or

fingers
Frozen chicken
breast fillets in
breadcrumbs
Always make sure that the food you are frying is as dry as possible (battered foods are the exception)
to avoid spitting and overflowing. Take care.
It is important to take into account the food to be cooked and the temperature it requires. Use the
guidelines in table 1, manufacturer's cooking instructions and your own expertise to guide you.
Don't overload the fryer basket. Doing so will cause the oil temperature to drop, causing your food to
become greasy rather than crispy.
Also, food in an over full basket will not cook evenly as the oil may not reach all of the items. Cook in
batches.
Make sure that you check that food has cooked through to the centre. If your oil temperature is too
hot, the outside may brown quickly while the food inside is still uncooked.
