SOME HINTS
The ideal frying temperature is between 150°C and 180°C. Above those
temperatures, oil quickly deteriorates.
If you use too low a temperature, food is not sealed on the surface and
becomes impregnated with grease.
It goes without saying that the thicker the pieces to be cooked are, the longer
they must stay in the frying bath. It is therefore advisable to choose a cooking
temperature which allows food to be cooked in depth without burning it on the
outside.
The temperature you have chosen is reached when the heater control light
goes out.
