Temperature (°C)
Time (min)
The cooking times shown in this table are approximate, and may vary according to the initial temperature
of the food and to the cooking temperature recommended on the packet.
Frying frozen foods
1. 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
don’t exceed the maximum quantities set
out in the following table.
2.
Frozen foods are frequently
covered with a coating of ice
crystals, which must be removed
before frying.
Lower the basket very
slowly into the oil in order to ensure that
the oil does not boil over.
Make certain that the lid is tightly
closed after the basket has been
placed inside the fryer.
WARNING: Before lowering the basket into the oil, ensure that the lid is securely closed.
*
This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quantity 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.
