Deep-frozen foods
Deep-frozen foodstuffs (-16 °C to -18 °C) cool the oil or fat to a considerable
extent, because of this they do not cook fast enough and may also soak up too
much oil or fat . To avoid this, proceed as follows:
■
Do not attempt to deep-fry large amounts all at once . Do not fill the frying
basket 3 (or the small frying baskets w) to more than the Max . fill level
marked on the inside of the frying basket .
■
Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods .
■
Adjust the temperature control 7 to the temperature specified in these
operating instructions or on the packaging of the food to be deep-fried .
■
Preferably, allow the deep-frozen food to thaw at room temperature prior to
deep-frying . Remove as much ice and water as possible before adding the
food into the deep fat fryer .
■
Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat
fryer, as deep-frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble violently and
abruptly .
how to prevent unwanted after-taste
Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being deep-fried . These fluids
collect in the oil or fat and can impair the smell and taste of foods that are later
deep-fried in the same oil or fat .
Proceed as follows to obtain neutral-tasting oil or fat:
■
Heat the fat or oil to 150 °C and place two thin slices of bread or a couple
of small sprigs of parsley in the frying basket 3 (or the small frying baskets w) .
■
Lower the frying basket 3 (or the small frying baskets w) into the fat and
close the lid .
■
Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley
with a skimmer . The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again .
