COOKING GUIDE

The table below helps you to select the basic settings for the food you want to prepare. Note: The cooking times below are only a guide and may vary according to the variety and batch of potatoes used. For other foods, the size, shape and brand may affect results. Therefore, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

TIPS

• Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger-sized foods.
• A larger amount of food requires only a slightly longer cooking time, while a smaller amount of food requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Shaking smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking time can improve the result and help prevent uneven cooking.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. After adding a spoonful of oil, fry the potatoes for a few minutes.
• Do not cook extremely greasy foods in the appliance.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 800 grams.
• Use ready-made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
• Place an oven dish in the appliance bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or fillings. You can use an oven dish in silicone, stainless steel, aluminium, or terracotta.
• You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes. For health purposes, the settings must ensure that the core of the food reaches 75°C for at least 2 minutes.

MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS

For the best results, we advise using frozen chips. If you want to make homemade chips, follow the steps below.

1. Choose a variety of potatoes recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal-thickness chips.
2. Soak the potato chips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.
3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) into a dry bowl, put the chips on top and mix until they are coated with oil.
4. Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.
   Note: Do not tip the container of oil-coated chips directly into the bowl in one go, excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.
5. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.
