CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKING OIL
| As a general rule, choose cooking oils with a high smoke point and avoid flavored oils. |
| Suitable: Pure corn oil, blended vegetable oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, grape seed oil , peanut oil |
| Not suitable: Olive oil, walnut oil, lard |
COOKING WITH OIL
Cooking oil can enhance the food’s flavor – or spoil its taste. As with any other food component, freshness and correct handling of the oil is the key to successful deep frying results. The quality of the oil decreases with use at high temperatures. Food particles, water and other liquids will further lower its quality, therefore:
- Do not mix different cooking oils.
- Only use fresh and clean cooking oils:
- Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying. Always use utensils that are safe to immerse into hot oils without damaging the utensil or the appliance, and always wear oven mitts when removing any burnt food particles.
- After use and before storage, filter oil with the integrated filtration system ( Oil Filtration)
- Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly flavored food.
OIL FILTRATION
- Ensure the Oil Container is assembled, empty and in place inside the appliance.
- Once the oil has cooled down to room temperature, turn the Oil Filtration Control Knob to the FILTER OIL ( ) position (ill. r ). The oil will start dripping inside the Oil Container. The Oil Filter Cover will keep food residues from being transferred to the Oil Container.
- When all oil has been filtered:
- Turn the Oil Filtration Control Knob to the LOCK ( ) position if the container will remain inside the appliance.
- Turn the Oil Filtration Control Knob to UNLOCK ( ) position if the container is to be removed from the appliance.
Emptying the Oil Container
Filtered oil can be stored in a suitable container ( Storing oil) or re-used for frying a new batch of food ( Cooking with oil).
- Unscrew the Cap on top of the Oil Container (ill. s ).
- Slowly pour the Oil Container content into a suitable container or the Oil Reservoir, if required.
- Screw the Cap back on top of the Oil Container.
- Insert the Oil Container back into the appliance and turn the Oil Filtration Control Knob to the LOCK ( ) position to secure the Oil Container in place (ill. t ).
