Tips For Use - Brandt FRI2102E Manuel D'instruction

Always make sure that the food you are frying is as dry as possible 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.
c) Tips for use
1. Frying
•
Smaller pieces of food will fry faster than larger ones. It may be necessary to cook chicken or frozen items for
longer on a lower heat to avoid the outside cooking before the middle is cooked.
•
Delicate foods such as prawns or thinly sliced vegetables require less cooking at a higher
temperature than more robust food types.
•
Never exceed the MAX level when filling the frying bowl with oil.
•
Always fill above the MIN level with oil before using the fryer.
•
Avoid overfilling the frying basket.
•
DO NOT place face or hands in contact with hot oil or steam.
•
For even cooking of foods, stir or turn the food with suitable utensils, or move the basket gently during
cooking.
Note: To prepare chips crispier you can use the fryer without its lid.
2. To check food has heated through
Take a knife or metal skewer and push it into the centre of the food. Hold it there for a few seconds then
remove it. If the skewer or knife is hot to the touch, the food is hot in the middle.
Alternatively use a food thermometer. Chicken is cooked when the juices run clear and the meat is no longer
pink in the centre.
3. Utensils
Select your cooking utensils carefully. Do not use utensils which may melt (e.g. plastic). Take care when using
metal utensils as not to damage the heating element. Also metal handles might get hot. Use oven gloves, or
buy utensils with insulated handles.
Suitable utensils include metal or heat resistant plastic, slotted spoons, slotted fish slices, or tongs. Not
suitable: wooden or plastic non-heat resistant utensils, knives or other sharp implements.
