Note
This information is indicative, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using.

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 the 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).
• Food that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked with the device.
• Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
• You can also use the device to reheat ingredients. To do so, set the temperature at 150ºC for 5-10 minutes.
