IMPORTANT FRYING TIPS
• It is recommended to shake the fries every 5 minutes, so that they are baked evenly. This also
applies to other, smaller snacks that cover eachother when they are inserted in the grille.
• You can add a table spoon of oil for a crunchier result, for instance olive oil, sunflower oil or
groundnut oil. Mix this oil well with the raw fries before placing the fries in the grille. Other
ingredients can be sprayed with oil or coated with oil with a brush. Always make sure that there
is no excessive oil added in the grille or frying pan. Do not use too much oil. Then the fries will
become less crisp and greasy.
• Put fresh, raw fries in water for 30 minutes before frying them, so that the starch of the
potatoes is washed away. Dry them thoroughly afterwards.
• Do not cook very greasy foods in this fryer.
• When you are preparing greasy ingredients, white smoke might come out of the appliance.
However, this does not affect the operation of the appliance or the end result. Also when the
fryer is not properly cleaned, or if any oil is left behind in the frying pan, white smoke might
develop.
• Snacks that can be cooked inside an oven can also be cooked inside this fryer.
• Smaller quantities are fried more evenly than larger quantities.
• Thinner fries will be crispier than thicker fries.
• Place a baking tin or oven tray on the grille if you want to make a cake or quiche, or fragile or
stuffed ingredients.
• You can also use this fryer to reheat ingredients. Set the fryer to 150°C, for 10 minutes.
• Ingredients that need to be cooked at the same temperature can be placed inside the basket
together and cooked together.
• Frozen products do not need to be thawed beforehand.
• You can use baking paper or aluminum foil or trays in the grille of the fryer, but do be very
careful when you do this. Do not cover the whole bottom of the grille. The air should be able
to circulate well through the appliance, the grille and the ingredients. Also, there should be
enough food on the paper or foil, so that it stays in place. Otherwise, the strong air flow will
cause the paper or foil to be sucked into the heating elements, which could cause fire. Make
sure that the baking paper or aluminum foil is larger than the food itself. However, the paper or
foil should not come out of the grille.
• Oven snacks always give the best, crispiest result. But also frozen snacks suitable for a regular
fryer can be fried in this appliance.
