After purchasing the device, the question arises: “How to use a deep fryer?” The operating rules are quite simple, you just need to familiarize yourself with the basic aspects of cooking.

Exploitation

The cooking sequence is as follows:

1. Fill the container with the deep-frying mixture.
   

   Note! The “minimum” and “maximum” marks cannot be ignored!

2. We plug the device into the outlet.
3. We wait until the fryer heats up to the set temperature.
4. We place a grid with products.
5. We take out the finished products together with the mesh and place them in a dish.

The key feature of the device is that it heats deep fat to 190 degrees and maintains this temperature throughout the entire frying process. Therefore, the products turn out evenly fried. There is a myth that food prepared in this way is very high in calories, as it is cooked in a large amount of oil. In fact, this is not so, because the oil only envelops the product from the outside, without penetrating inside.

Important nuances and safety rules

1. When filling the bowl with food, it is best to leave the center least filled, that is, place the food along the edges of the dish.
2. Under no circumstances should you overload the bowl; overloading will greatly affect the temperature of the oil, and the entire dish may spoil.
3. Immerse the bowl loaded with food into the oil only when you are sure that the temperature indicator has gone out. Lower very carefully so that the oil does not splatter.
4. Frozen foods must be shaken vigorously before being deep-fried.
5. Close the lid of the device tightly.
6. After completing the procedure, immediately remove the food, remember that you are dealing with hot elements.
7. The outside of deep fryers is made of plastic, providing high-quality thermal insulation. And even when there is quite hot oil inside (180-190 degrees), you can safely touch the outer casing with your hands, without the risk of getting burns.

Some useful tips:

• never combine different types of oil in one bowl at the same time;
• blot the food with a napkin before bringing the food to the table to remove excess fat;
• cut the food into approximately equal-sized pieces so that the dish cooks evenly;
• in order to maintain the purity of the oil, salt and add spices as soon as you take the food out of the basket; - use oil with a special label “For deep fryers”;
• If there is a strong aroma left in the appliance from the previous dish, and you want to get rid of it, we recommend heating the deep fryer to 160 degrees and putting a few pieces of rye bread in it. It will help eliminate the odor;
• To ensure your oil lasts a long time, avoid prolonged overheating of the deep fat fryer;
• do not rush to pour the hot oil down the drain, let it cool. It is advisable to pour it into some container and throw it in the trash.
