6.6.1 Some good frying tips
The level of oil in the basin must always be between 3 litres (minimum
amount indicated inside the basin) and 3.5 litres (maximum amount
indicated inside the basin). The resistance cannot operate in the open air:
it must always be immersed in the oil or fat.
Do not put solid vegetable or animal fat into the basin. It must already be
melted before putting it into the basin.
WARNING: before lifting the resistance up, make sure it is cool. Danger of
burns!
WARNING: when the resistance is raised, take care not to activate the
control device. Danger of burns!
The ideal frying temperature is between 160°C and 185°C. The oil will
degrade very quickly at levels higher or lower than these.
If the temperature is too low, the food is not broiled on the surface and
becomes impregnated with fat.
The larger the pieces the longer they have to fry. It is, therefore, a good
idea to pick a cooking temperature that allows you to cook the food right
through without burning it on the outside.
