Electric Fryer

Frying frozen food

• Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevitably lower the

temperature of the oil. For good results each time you fry, we recommend you
do not exceed the maximum quantities set out in the following table.

Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals
which must be removed before cooking.This can be done by shaking
the basket.

Lower the basket very slowly into the oil, to ensure that the oil

does not boil over. Close the fryer lid after the basket has been placed inside
the fryer.

The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial
temperature of the food which is to be fried and according to the temperature
recommended by the frozen food producer.

WARNING: Before immersing the basket, check that the lid is firmly closed.

(*) This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quan-

tity of frozen potatoes can be fried, taking into consideration that they will be a
little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the temperature of the oil upon
immersion.
