Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimises the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients. Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the fryer. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the fryer. The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams. Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough. You can also use the fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
