Tips
Home-made chips
■
Potatoes intended for frying should be faultless and not germinating.
■
Use potato varieties suitable for frying, such as “King Edward”, “Morris
Piper”, “Cara” etc.
■
After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips
or slices).
■
Soak the potatoes for ca. one hour before frying. This will help remove a
portion of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the
formation of acrylamides.
■
Carefully dry the potatoes.
■
Always fry home-made potatoes twice:
–
fi rst for 10-12 minutes at 160°C then for 3-4 minutes at 170°C, de-
pending on the desired degree of browning.
■
Deep frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once.
Comply with the instructions on the packaging.
Frozen Foods
Deep frozen foodstuff s (-16 to -18 °C) cool the oil or fat to a considerabe extent,
because of this they do not cook fast enough and possibly also soak up too
much oil of fat. To avoid these occurences, proceed as follows:
■
Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once. The food to be fried must be
completely covered with cooking oil/fat after lowering the frying basket 3.
■
Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting the frozen foodstuff s.
■
Adjust the temperature controller 8 to the temperature specifi ed in these
operating instructions or on the packaging of the foodstuff .
■
Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. Remove
as much ice and water as possible before inserting the food into the deep
fryer.
