These frying times and temperatures are intended as a guide only and should be adjusted to suit
quantity or thickness of food and your own taste.
There are 2 sizes of Morphy Richards fryer, 2 and 3 litres. Check the capacity of your fryer before using, if
you overfill the Basket the fryer could overflow or not cook the food properly.
*Chicken and beef burgers can taint the oil leaving a taste you may not want when frying other foods, if so
change the oil.
