solid fat
You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from
spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
1 If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
2 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3 Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
4 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when it melts. Punch some holes into the
resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this (Fig. 5).
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.
