control can be used to select one of six temperature settings from a
minimum at position 1 to a maximum at position 6, the redspot hotplates

This table is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the
type of pan used and the quality of food.

requirements for appropriate heating area.
deep fat frying 2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking
period.

This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much,
resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly
into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause
frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

fat.
