When the food is ready, serve everything at the same time. We advise you to prepare fresh chips last. Caution: Never put your hand into the dish housing (K2), specially when moving the fryer, you might get burnt. Oil or fat Never operate your fryer without oil. Always use a good quality vegetable oil which can withstand high temperatures. Change the oil when it becomes brown (every 8 to 12 uses, depending on the cooking done). If using sunflower oil ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses. Important: if using solid fat, before each use, make holes in the solid fat with a non-metallic spatula in the bottom of the bowl, in order to allow any water trapped under the fat to escape in the form of steam. Preparing foods for frying No matter what the recipe, food must be perfectly dry: this will prevent overflowing and extend the life of the oil. When dishes include raw potatoes (chips, crisps and potato straws), wash them in cold water to get rid of the starch. This will stop them from sticking together.
