Cooking in your Stainless Deep Fryer
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most foodstuffs
and another for home battered products.
Note: During cooking, steam will build up in
the fryer, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen
glove or mitt to protect your hand.
General cooking method
(For pre-cooked, crumbed, floured or wrapped
food.)
1. Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator
light will illuminate.
2. When the oil has reached the required
temperature, the green ready light will
illuminate. Remove the lid, lift the basket
and put it on the rest
➃
so that it is not
in contact with the oil. Place the food,
(should be as dry as possible) into the
raised basket.
Note: The basket should always be in the
raised position when it is to be filled with
food.
3. Lower the basket into the tank.
4. Do not cook food with the lid on.
5. When the food is cooked (see time guide
chart on page 9), place the basket on its
raised position to drain for a few seconds.
6. Remove the basket and put the fried food
on a plate covered with absorbent paper or
kitchen towel.
7. When finished with the fryer, turn the
temperature knob to the lowest setting
and switch the power off. Remove the plug
from mains power.
8. Clean the fryer only after the oil is
completely cooled down.
Cooking home battered food
This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking
the food may stick to the basket. This
method of cooking requires extreme care.
1. Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator
light will illuminate.
2. When the oil has reached the required
temperature the light will go out.
Note: Leave the basket in the down position.
3. Remove the lid of the fryer.
4. Coat the food in batter and allow it to drain
slightly to get rid of the excess coating.
5. Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food
into the hot oil, using a suitable implement
or tongs. This allows the batter to become
solid and prevents it sealing to the mesh of
the basket.
Note: Remember to take care as the oil may
spit as the food is added.
You can now follow the instructions as given
in the general cooking method, steps 4 - 8.
