Home-made French fries
You will make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following
way:
Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold
water.
Fry the French fries twice:
- the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160cC
- the second time for 2-4 minutes at a temperature of 190cC
Frozen food
Food from the freezer (-16 to -18cC) will cool the oil or fat
considerably when it is immersed in it. Because it does not sear right
away, the food may also absorb too much oil or fat.Take the following
measures to prevent this:
Preferably allow frozen food to partly defrost at room temperature
and shake off as much ice and water as possible.
Do not fry very large quantities at one time (see the table with
preparation times and temperature settings).
Getting rid of unwanted flavours
Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an
unpleasant flavour.To neutralise the taste of the oil or fat:
- Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160cC.
- Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil.
- Wait until no more bubbles appear and then scoop the bread or the
parsley out of the fryer with a spatula.
The oil or fat will now have a neutral taste again.
Problems that may occur during frying
If your fryer does not function properly or if the frying quality is
insufficient, consult the table below. If you are unable to solve the
problem by means of this troubleshooting guide, contact your Philips
dealer or call the Philips Helpline. See the worldwide guarantee leaflet
