thermometer. Verify that the computer readout is reasonably close to your measured reading.

Sensitivity adjusts computer-cooking time to compensate for the drop in cooking oil/shortening
temperature when a basket of product is placed into the fryer. Sensitivity decreases or
increases cooking time to counterbalance variances in product density, basket-load size, and
initial temperature. A proper sensitivity setting will ensure a high quality product. For example:
4 ounces of fries can be programmed to cook to the same quality as 2 pounds. A good initial
setting is 4 or 5. Some experimenting with the range of 1 to 9 may be required to achieve
optimum quality.
