Tips and tricks
■
When the heating up light goes off, place the food on the
appliance. This also applies when raising the temperature to
fry a second item which requires a higher setting.
■
Press the pieces of meat, poultry or fish flat onto the frying
surface using the spatula. Only turn the meat, when it comes
away from the surface easily, in order to protect the structure
of the meat. Damaging the structure can cause juices to
escape and results in the meat drying out.
■
Keep the pieces of meat, poultry or fish apart so that they do
not draw any liquid.
■
Avoid pricking or cutting meat before or during frying, in
order to retain meat juices.
■
Do not salt the food before frying, to prevent liquid and
soluble nutrients from escaping.
■
Turn fish fillets in flour before frying. The fish will be easier to
turn.
■
Turn fish fillets only once if possible. Place fish onto the
appliance with the skin facing downward.
■
Use oil and fat that is suitable for frying, for example plant oil
or concentrated butter.
