Recommendations For Use - Brandt FRI4200 Manuel D'instruction

In addition, if you fill the basket the food will not cook evenly because all the oil cannot reach all
the food. It is therefore preferable to cook in batches. Make sure the food is cooked in the centre.
If the oil temperature is too high the surface of the food will brown quickly whilst the centre will
not be cooked.

Recommendations for Use

1. Frying
Small food items will cook faster than big items. It may be necessary to cook chicken
•
and frozen food for longer and at a lower temperature to avoid the surfaces cooking
before the inside.
Delicate food like prawns, or indeed diced vegetables, requires cooking at a higher
•
temperature for less time.
Before using the fryer it should always be filled with oil to a level between the
•
minimum and maximum marked in the tank.
Do not expose face or hands to steam or contact with boiling oil.
•
For even cooking stir or turn the food with suitable utensils, or shake the basket
•
gently during cooking.
2. Checking that the food is hot.
Take a knife and insert it into the food. Hold it there for several seconds before taking it out. If
the knife is hot when you touch it your food is hot in the middle.
You can also use a food thermometer. The chicken is cooked when its juice runs clear and the
meat is no longer pink in the middle.
3. Utensils
Choose your kitchen utensils with care. Do not use utensils that might melt (e.g.
•
plastic).
Be careful not to damage your machine when you use metal utensils.
•
Use suitable gloves or utensils with insulated handles.
•
Suitable utensils are those in metal or heat-resistant plastic, skimmers and tongs.
•
Unsuitable utensils are those in wood, plastic that is not resistant to heat, knives or
•
other sharp tools.
