According to criteria, fry with the lid

- When the food has been fried suffi-

ciently, lift the basket and position

it in the support in order to allow

the excess oil to drain from the food

- Change the oil approximately every

15 or 20 frying operations, or every 5

– 6 months if not used frequently.

- In order to minimize the genera-

tion of acrilamida during the frying

process, avoid to reach dark brown

colours on the fried food, remove any

burnt leftovers from the oil container,

food rich in scratch (such as potatoes

or corns) should not be fried at tem-

peratures higher to 170ºC.

- In order to minimize the generation

of acrilamida during the cooking

process, avoid to reach dark brown

colours on the foodstuffs.

Practical recommendations:

the smell of used oil.

- For food with a high water content,

it is better and quicker to fry in two

lots with less food than in just one.

This will reduce the risk of splashes

- To ensure that frying is homoge-

neous and crunchy, frying can be

carried out using a two time process.

This system consists of first frying the

food until it is reasonably well done

and then frying again using very hot

oil to brown the food.

- Olive oil with a minimum acidity

level is recommendable for frying.

- Do not mix different oils.

- Wash potatoes before frying to stop
