When you use mixtures that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the oven dish should not be filled more than halfway.

TIPS

• Smaller food usually requires a slightly shorter cooking time than larger-size foods.
• Shaking food halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
• If you are not sure, you can open the frying basket at any time to check the progress.
• To make your fresh potatoes extra crispy, try adding a small amount of oil before cooking and shake to evenly cover. We recommend 14ml of oil. Do not add oil to frozen potatoes.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 700 grams.
• Use ready-made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
• Place an oven dish in the appliance’s frying basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry delicate ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon, stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.
• You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes.
• Cooking time could be adjusted depending on food quantity in order to fully reheat the food.

RECIPE SUGGESTION: HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES

If you want to make home-made French fries, follow the steps below.

1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equalthickness chips (1cm).

3. Soak the potato chips in cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel.
   Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.

4. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry frying basket, put the potato chips on top and mix until they are coated with oil.

5. Remove the French fries from the frying basket a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil stays behind in the frying basket. Place the French fries in a serving bowl.
   NOTE
   Do not tip the container of oil-coated French fries directly into the frying basket in one go, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the serving bowl.

6. Fry the French fries according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.
