fried. The preparation time may be reduced slightly. You should check whether your
food is already cooked before the stated cooking time has expired.
• For preparing homemade chips made from fresh potatoes, you should pay heed to
a few tips:
– Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take longer
to cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.
– Wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch
in the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then thoroughly dry the potatoes. The less moisture
is present, the crispier the chips will become.
– The thinner the potatoes are chopped up, the crispier they will become.
– If necessary, spray the uncooked potatoes with a little oil from the oil atomiser as
this will make them go crispier.
– Preboiled potatoes will cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into small sticks and
preboil them for around 5 minutes. This will prevent your chips from being crispy on
the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.
• With some food (e.g. chips, potato wedges etc.) it is advisable to mix the food around
from time to time to obtain an even cooking result. To do this, remove the drawer
from the device, the basket from the drawer and shake the food about slightly to mix
it all up. Then reinsert the drawer and continue the cooking process.
