Tips

• Smaller ingredients require shorter preparation time than the larger ones.
• A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, and a smaller quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Stirring small ingredients during the frying process optimises the result and can help prevent unevenly cooked ingredients. To do so, remove the basket and shake it.
• Add some oil to raw chips for a crispier result.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 400 grams.
• Do not use the device to fry greasy food (such as sausages).
