TIPS

• Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a smaller amount of food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Shaking smaller size foods halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. After adding a spoon of oil, fry the potatoes within a few minutes.
• Do not cook extremely greasy foods in the Easy Fry.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Easy Fry.
• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 700 grams.
• Use ready-made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.

• You can also use the Easy Fry to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes.

MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS

For the best results, we advise using frozen chips. If you want to make home- made 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 a paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.

3. Pour ½ tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in 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, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.

5. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.

The bowl and the grid have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the nonstick coating.
