Frying tips

For an overview of preparation times and frying temperatures, see the table at the end of these
instructions for use.
Home-made French fries
You will make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way:
1 Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water.
This will prevent them from sticking to each other during frying.
Dry the sticks thoroughly.
B
2 Fry the French fries twice: the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160cC, the
second time for 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 175cC.
3 Put the home-made French fries in a bowl and shake them. Let the fries cool down before
frying them for the second time.
Frozen food
Frozen fries have already been precooked, so you will only have to fry them once in accordance
with the instructions on the package.
Food from the freezer (-16 to -18cC) will cause the oil or fat to cool down considerably when the
food is immersed in it. Because the food does not sear right away, it may also absorb too much oil
or fat.
Take the following measures to prevent this:
- Preferably allow frozen food to defrost at room temperature before frying.
- Carefully shake off as much ice and water as possible and dab the food to be fried until it is
properly dry.
- Do not fry very large quantities at one time (consult the table with preparation times and frying
temperatures).
- Select the frying temperature indicated in the table in these instructions for use or on the
package of the food to be fried. If there are no instructions, select a temperature of 190cC.
- Lower the food into the oil or fat very gently, since frozen food may cause the hot oil or fat to
start bubbling violently.

Getting rid of unwanted flavours

Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant flavour.To neutralise the
taste of the oil or fat:
1 Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160cC.
2 Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil.
3 Wait until no more bubbles appear and then scoop the bread or the parsley out of the fryer
with a spatula.
The oil or fat will now have a neutral taste again.
