DIY fryer repair

V. Kolyada
The French word friture means the deep layer of vegetable or animal fat in which culinary products are fried. Despite the ongoing controversy about the effect of such food on blood cholesterol, electrical appliances for cooking in boiling oil - deep fryers - are becoming more and more commonplace. Today the electric fryer market numbers dozens of models from the most famous manufacturers (PHILIPS, MOULINEX, TEFAL, DeLonghi, BOSCH, etc.). Fryers of these firms usually have a power of 1800-2000 W and allow, for example, to cook 0.6. 1.2 kg potatoes, cut into strips, 1.5. 2.5 liters of oil. The cooking speed of french fries is about 5.8 minutes (when using frozen potatoes, this time can increase to 10.13 minutes), cutlets or chops - 6.10 minutes, potato chips - 12.15 minutes, chicken legs - about 15 minutes ...

A safety requirement when working with a deep fat fryer is that products intended for deep-frying must contain a minimum percentage of internal moisture, especially not have water droplets on the surface, since when such products come into contact with boiling oil, it may splash. The electrical circuit of the fryer (Fig. 1) is quite simple, it includes a power cord 1, a power switch 2, an anti-interference filter 3, a thermoelectric heater (TEN) 4, a thermostatted temperature controller 5 and a timer 6. The heating element of a deep fryer can have a ring shape, as on rice. 1, and be located slightly above the bottom of the container with oil, as if covering it. Due to this, in a number of models (for example, Philips HD 4219, Ufesa FR-1512, FR-1517, etc.), the so-called “Cool Zone” is implemented: the lowest layer of oil in the bowl has a lower temperature and food particles in the bottom layer do not burn. This extends the life of the oil and improves the taste and quality of the food. As we will see below, other configurations of the heating element are possible (in the form of a flat coil), but the heating element is located under the bottom of the container with oil.

Unlike the "cold zone", which is an attribute of only some models, an almost indispensable characteristic of consumer safety of all modern fryers is "cold walls" - high-quality thermal insulation (in a number of models - with forced air circulation in the gap between the oil bowl and the outer wall) excludes the possibility of burns when touching the outer wall of the device, although the oil temperature is 150-190 ° C.

The inner surface of the oil bowl in many models of deep fryers is made of enamel or coated with a non-stick composition.

The temperature controller can have a smooth (for example, the already mentioned model "Philips HD 4219") or step ("Siemens TG 15001") movement. Typically, a “food table” is printed on the body of a deep fryer, according to which the user can select the desired cooking temperature. Fryer timers are usually equipped with an audible signal. In the most "sophisticated" models, timers with a liquid crystal digital display (indication up to 99 minutes) are used. An additional "lotion" of some models ("Moulinex Olea CP8") is a window through which you can observe the cooking process, and if the window fogs up from the inside, it can be cleaned by turning the handle of a kind of miniature "wiper" (Turn & Clean system).

An indispensable attribute of a deep fryer are filters, which are of two types - disposable paper filters for oil, which ensure its purification and, as a result, longer use, as well as filters made of activated carbon, which serve to trap oil vapors and odors generated during cooking.

Even in such a relatively simple device as a deep fryer, the creative imagination of the developers of household appliances is fully manifested. The Italian firm DeLonghi is traditionally strong in this respect, its deep fryers are distinguished by original technical solutions.Inclined rotating oil container (fig. 2)

allows you to achieve double its savings: for example, to prepare 1 kg of chips in an inclined bowl, 1.1.2 liters of oil are required, as opposed to 2. 2.5 liters in a bowl with a vertical axis of rotation. DeLonghi's patented Easy Clean System oil collection system (Fig. 3) allows you to easily drain the used oil without lifting or tilting the fryer, passing it through a special filter.

Let's get acquainted in more detail with the device of the deep fryer using the example of models of the Moulinex Supremia family (AS1-AS7). The design of these fryers has a number of interesting features. For example, the models of the Supremia Condensor subfamily (AS3, AS6 and AS7) are equipped with the original Condensor steam condensation system (Fig. 4), which serves as an additional means of combating unpleasant odors. In a compartment made in the bottom of the device, two cassettes with eutectic liquid (cold accumulators) are placed. The eutectic liquid has a blue color, which is specially imparted to make its leaks visible. The cassettes are pre-frozen in the freezer for at least 24 hours. By taking heat from the steam entering the steam duct into the compartment where the plates are located (there is no other outlet for the steam, since the cavity of the fryer is hermetically sealed when the lid is closed), the cassettes serve as the center of condensation formation. After the end of the operation of the device, condensate is drained from the tray with cassettes.

Fryers have a power of 2000 W, at which an oil temperature of 180 ° C is reached in 9 minutes and 30 seconds. Fryers are designed to cook 1 kg of French fries in 2 liters of oil, equipped with a stepless temperature regulator (operating range of the thermostat 160-190 ° C), a timer for 99 minutes with a sound signal and a liquid crystal indicator. The AS4 and AS5 models have an additional 180 ° C safety thermostat. Models AS4 and AS5 are equipped with a fuse for 184 ° C, and models AS1-AS3 for a temperature of 152 ° C. The removable rectangular butter bowl has a non-stick coating. The potato basket has a built-in lifting handle that can be used to lower the basket in the oil or raise it without opening the lid. The lid itself has an automatic locking system, which excludes its arbitrary opening; to unlock the cover, you must press a special key.

To provide additional safety when using the fryer, there are limit switches in its electrical circuit that close when the bowl of oil is inserted into the body, and the cassettes (cold accumulators) are in the tray.

The external view of the Moulinex Supremia Condensor AS7 deep fryer is shown in fig. 5, where 1 - body, 2 - lid, 3 - viewing window, 4 - handle, 5 - handle unlock button, 6 - lid unlock button, 7 - timer with LCD indicator, 8 - dish table, 9 - temperature scale, 10 - slider for stepless temperature regulator, 11 - cassette tray.

Possible malfunctions of fryers of this series, their causes and remedies are listed in the table.

In all models:
Cover: remove the hinges from the sockets by pulling them sharply up one by one (fig. 9).To disassemble the hinge, 7 screws are unscrewed on the inside of the cover, and then 2 screws each fixing each hinge. To remove the cover seal, pry it off and pull it up and forward (or up and back), separating it from the 18 attachment points.

Base: after turning the device over, unscrew the two screws securing the cover to the base (fig. 10, item 1). Disconnect the power cord (models AS1, AS4 AS5). Unscrew the 6 screws securing the base (Fig. 10, item 2). On AS3, AS6, AS7 models, you can disconnect the power cord at this point.

Front panel: loosen the two screws securing the front panel (fig. 11, item 3). Insert a thin screwdriver between the panel and the casing and squeeze the panel fastening tabs (fig. 11, pos. 4).
Opens access to the lid locking mechanism and the electrical components of the device.
Cover Lock Mechanism: Remove the spring lock button (figure 12, item 1) and tapered springs from each bolt. Using a thin screwdriver, squeeze the tabs of the locking mechanism (fig. 12, pos. 2).

On models with removable oil bowl (AS4, AS5, AS6, AS7):
Adjustable thermostat: Unscrew the two fixing screws (fig. 13, item 1) and remove the base. Be careful with the thermostat spring! An adjustable thermostat and two switches are available.
Fixed thermostat and fuse: remove the steam line and cassette limit switch (fig. 14). Remove the two screws holding the mounting support to the rear panel (Fig. 15, item 1) and slide the support (Fig. 15, item 2). Pressing the locking tabs, remove the fixed thermostat (fig. 15, pos. 3). Be careful with the thermostat spring! Remove the fuse.
Heating element: disconnect the power cord (models AS6 and AS7, fig. 16, pos. 1). Disconnect the heating element terminals, being careful not to damage the ground terminal. Unscrew 4 screws securing the heating element to the double wall (Fig. 17, item 2). The heating element is removed from the cavity.

The assembly is carried out in the reverse order, paying attention to the following.
Be sure to connect the ground wire.
Fixed thermostat and fuse (models AS4-AS7): secure the fuse well by bending the tabs (fig. 18) and placing it in the recess on the side of the thermostat. When attaching the thermostat to the mounting support, remember to insert the spring (fig. 19, item 1).
Adjustable thermostat (models AS4-AS7):
When installing the adjustable thermostat, remember to install the two spacers (Fig. 20, item 1), the thermostat spring (Fig. 20, item 2) and the spring of the oil bowl limit switch mechanism (Fig. 20, item 3). Lid locking mechanism (all models):
Remember to install the springs (figure 21, items 1 and 2).

Steam path: install two seals (Fig. 22, item 1), springs (Fig. 22, item 2), position the switch terminals correctly (Fig. 22, item 3).

Reason: on models AS4 and AS5 remember to fit the 4 spacers (fig. 23). For models AS3, AS6 and AS7, fit the gaskets of the cassette tray correctly (Fig. 24, item 1), for model AS3, remember to put also two silicone inserts (Fig. 24, item 2). Cover seal: it is best to install it while the cover is removed. The lip of the seal is guided into the groove (Fig. 25, item 1) and gradually sunk into it along its entire length (Fig. 25, item 2) until the entire seal is fixed in the groove (Fig. 25, item 3).

One of McDonald's chips is potatoes. Such potatoes are cooked in special containers filled with sunflower oil, where the potatoes are cooked soaked in oil.

It's easy to organize deep-frying in the village - put a pot of oil in the oven, crumbling potatoes there and that's it. It remains to wait. But the manufacturer of the right potatoes recommends maintaining a certain temperature. To keep the temperature, you need a container for oil, an electric heater and a temperature sensor. This is basically how a deep fryer works.

Additionally, the manufacturer equips the deep fryer with two light bulbs - red and green. Green indicates the presence of voltage in the network, and red - glows when the heating element is turned on. The main temperature controller is located in the center of the panel.

The knob of the temperature regulator is graduated in degrees Celsius. At min, the heater does not turn on, at max, the heater does not turn off. Intermediate values ​​for different potato variants.

There is a data sticker on the back of the fryer. Mains voltage 230 V - designed for the European market. The product is manufactured in the Netherlands. There is a hole under the sticker labeled “reset”. The purpose of this hole is unclear on a whim, but after disassembly everything becomes, firstly, transparent, and secondly, it makes you think about the logic of the designers.

The oil container is made of teflon-coated stainless steel. A net with a handle for placing potatoes is inserted inside. The movable handle in the transport version is retracted inside the net.

An open heating element and a temperature sensor are located under the mesh. The heater heats up quickly and cools down for a long time, which is very good in terms of energy saving. The temperature sensor is fairly standard - sealed capsules, tube and contacts. The heating element is rigidly fixed to the control unit. This block is removable from the container, allowing the container to be washed separately.

To prevent the mesh from contacting the heating element directly, there are two embossed protrusions on the temperature sensor mount. It is on them that the basket rests.

The cover is fixed with screws. Here the first surprise awaits - the heads of the two screws have a triangular head. It is quite unclear why to make different heads, because screwdriver sets with different bits are sold everywhere. After removing the cover, a second surprise becomes visible - the second temperature sensor which needs to be pressed through the “Reset” hole. This sensor is needed to protect the basket from overheating if the main temperature sensor does not work. The question is, to turn the fryer back on, you need to disconnect the device from the mains, insert screwdrivers into the hole and press the sensor reset button - red.

There is also a hidden blockage here - the contact with the blue wire has just melted on it. The blocking is needed so that the heater is turned on only when the unit is installed on the container. The blocking is consistent with the entire device, so the contacts on the blocking are on and the device does not work.

A box with wires - a device for turning on and off the heater from the temperature sensor control.

The wires are heat-resistant and the insulation does not melt on them - well, only the lead wires, but also thermocambric on them. There are clearly good wires and bad interlocks here.

Melted blocking of the block and container docking. The case has melted due to temperature, and the temperature has melted from poor contact or thin contact plates. In any case, this lock is not needed, so you can throw it out.

Also visible is the temperature sensor with a red reset button. This sensor is also not needed at all and can also be thrown away.

In the role of light indication - small bulbs.

There are grooves on the tank body for installing the control unit. In the middle there is a groove for blocking actuation.

This type of technique is widely used both in bars, cafes and restaurants, and in everyday life, since it can be used to significantly simplify and speed up the process of cooking French fries, whites, donuts, pasties, chips and many other dishes that require frying in a large amount of sunflower seeds. oils. However, even especially high-quality branded deep fryers can suddenly start to work worse or fail altogether, and therefore it is important to know the main types of equipment breakdowns and recommendations for caring for the device to extend its service life.

It should be noted right away that without special tools and knowledge of the design features of a deep fryer, it is almost impossible to accurately determine the cause of its breakdown. It is better to immediately contact the service center for help and call a wizard to conduct an accurate diagnosis. But it is important to know the main causes of fryer breakdowns, which will prevent their occurrence:

1. Voltage drops in the mains. It is the constant power surges that can cause the fryer to stop turning on altogether, or the smell of burnt wiring appears during operation of the device.
2. Mechanical damage - falls, blows to the device. This can lead to the fact that the internal components or the body of the equipment itself, and this will negatively affect its operation.
3. Disregard for timely cleaning of equipment. Vegetable oil builds up inside and outside the fryer over time, and if not cleaned in time, the internal components can overheat. And this leads to a weak heating of the fryer and the fact that it stops turning on altogether.
4. Natural wear and tear of individual parts. Each equipment is designed for a certain number of work cycles, after which individual elements may fail. As a rule, most of them can be simply replaced and thereby restore the functionality of the equipment.

Before looking for an answer to this question, it is important to have a basic understanding of the key elements of today's electric fryers. As a rule, this equipment is equipped with a heating element, a removable basket for products and a bowl for oil, a thermostat and an operating mode indicator. Additional options include a thermostat sensor and a timer designed to select the required temperature and operating time of the equipment.

Also, the design of models often includes special filters to prevent splashing of vegetable oil and the spread of persistent odors in the room.

As for the most common types of fryer breakdowns, they include:

• the device does not turn on at all;
• the equipment does not respond to pressing buttons;
• the equipment turns on, but does not heat up or does not heat up strongly enough.

There may be several reasons for the fact that the equipment does not turn on:

• there is no power supply due to damage to the electrical wire;
• the heating element is out of order (most often it needs to be replaced);
• the thermostat has broken down (it is also easier to replace it than to try to repair it);
• malfunctions of the control unit are observed as a result of constant voltage drops in the mains.

There are also more banal reasons that can be eliminated without the participation of a master.So, the device may not turn on due to an incorrectly installed oil bowl: try removing it from the case and reinstalling it, and then turning on the device.

The thermal fuse may also malfunction. To fix this problem, you must wait until the oil in the fryer has completely cooled down and then press the reset button (usually located on the front of the appliance, above the display).

In order for the equipment to serve as long as possible, it is important to properly care for it, guided by certain recommendations:

1. Regularly clean the fryer from contamination, as the congealed oil on the internal elements of the appliance significantly impairs their operation, and over time can damage them.
2. Always follow the instructions for use and remember the manufacturer's advice (this is especially important when using a new model, which is still covered by an official warranty).
3. Change filters in time to prolong the life of the equipment.
4. Periodically contact the service center for maintenance: diagnostics of the current state of the device, replacement of defective parts, and so on. For example, in Odessa, you can call a fryer service and repair technician at SC 24master. You can apply and consult with specialists around the clock.

And in conclusion, it should be reminded: do not try to repair the equipment on your own, since you can completely disable it without the possibility of restoring its operability in the future. Always entrust the repair work to professionals in this area.

For many housewives, a deep fryer is associated with food that is not particularly healthy for health: french fries, nuggets, chips and other "delights" of fast food. Nevertheless, using this device you can cook both gourmet cuisine masterpieces and quite traditional dishes - from your favorite donuts, croquettes and pies according to grandmother's recipes to delicious tempura made from vegetables or seafood. Let's take a closer look at the characteristics of this wonderful device. Perhaps there will be a place for it in your kitchen?

The main purpose of the appliance is to heat and maintain the optimum temperature of oil for fast frying of food. Fat not lower than the minimum mark is poured into the capacity of the machine, the desired temperature is set, after which the deep fat will give a signal or turn off the heating lamp. It remains to lay out the food on the grid, dip them in hot oil and remove after cooking.

Golden crust - a visiting card of deep-fat dishes

On a note! The same oil can be used several times, but you cannot add fresh to the already boiled one.

Of course, there is also a "home" alternative - to heat the fat in a saucepan or other suitable container. But with such a replacement, smoke, unpleasant odors, oil vapors and splashes cannot be avoided, and the boiling point is almost impossible to control without special thermometers. A deep fryer is a device that will help you avoid such troubles. Frying in it is much more convenient and faster than in homemade deep fat, and the oil consumption is noticeably lower.

Homemade deep frying requires skill and constant monitoring.

The disadvantages of the device are also obvious: food cooked with a large amount of fat is not included in the regular diet of most families (especially where there are small children), so the daily need for such an assistant is unlikely to arise. But sometimes you really want to pamper yourself with crispy pastries or surprise guests with hot appetizers with an appetizing crust!

Just 10 minutes in the deep fat fryer - and the fries are ready!

On a note! Scientists have found that harmful carcinogens are formed when the oil is heated above 200 degrees, so the health risk can be reduced by setting the temperature on deep fat to 150-180 C.

Universal deep fryers are designed for loading from 0.5 to 5 liters of oil, professional devices can hold more than 10 liters. The choice of the size of the model depends on the number of people in the family and the frequency of use. For example, for 1-2 people, deep fat is suitable with a minimum volume of 0.5-0.7 liters. This is quite enough for preparing a couple of servings of snacks or the same French fries. If the family has more than 4 people, choose a model with a capacity of 2 liters or more. But the "golden mean" is a home fryer with a 1.5-2 liter bowl made of stainless steel or aluminum with a non-stick coating.

Important! Choose a model with a removable bowl - it is easier to clean after use than the entire appliance.

The more removable parts, the easier it is to care for the deep fat

Another must-have item is the grocery basket. Moreover, if the capacity of the bowl is measured in liters, then the nets are in kilograms of potatoes, cut into slices for "fries". For example, a deep fryer basket with a 1L bowl will hold about 0.5 kg of food. It is worth clarifying these two parameters when buying, correlating them with the needs of your family, and choosing a device that is suitable in size will not be difficult.

The handle on the net should be comfortable and safe

On a note! To reduce oil consumption, some manufacturers offer models with a tilting rotating bowl and mesh. But, judging by the reviews of consumers, such a device does not always evenly fry food, and the famous "deep-frying" crust leaves much to be desired due to the constant dipping and rising from boiling oil.

How the tilting fryer works

The heating element is the most important part of the deep fryer, on which the speed of heating and cooking products depends. By design features, two types of heating elements are distinguished:

1. Open - made in the form of a spiral, which is located at the bottom of the device. Heats the oil quickly, but unevenly - the temperature of the liquid near the walls can be lower than in the center of the bowl. In addition, food particles often adhere to the curls of the spiral, and it will be difficult to clean the container well.
2. .Closed (disc) - mounted under the bottom of the bowl, therefore, ensures uniform heating of the oil. Although, in comparison with spiral devices, disk devices are more expensive, but the ease of maintenance and reliability of the heating element is worth this difference.

Fryer with spiral heating element

To prevent the smell of boiling oil from spreading in the kitchen, deep fryers are equipped with a filtration system. Such cleaners can be removable or built-in (it is easier to care for dismountable parts and replace them with new ones in time).

The presence of a filter makes the work of the deep fat fryer much more comfortable.

Combined multilayer systems filter the air more thoroughly - they provide reliable protection from oil fumes and cooking odors. But single-layer (usually coal) often require replacement and let the smell through.

On a note! Some models are equipped with filters that remove burnt food particles from the oil. This allows you to use deep fat several times, but do not forget that the presence of harmful carcinogens does not depend on the degree of transparency of the oil.

The body of the fryer can be made of metal or plastic. Although we are used to considering metal products to be more durable, reliable and of high quality, in fact, in modern appliances it is more about the beauty of design.

Stainless steel deep fryer is more suitable for cafes and restaurants

Moreover, a metal device will have a greater weight and price, and you will have to take care of it no less than a plastic one. Fat, dust and other contaminants must be removed from the surface of both materials in a timely manner, otherwise there can be no talk of a spectacular appearance. True, plastic has another drawback - over time or from the sun, the white color can change the shade to dirty gray or yellow. Therefore, it is better to look at a model with a colored case - gold, red, blue, black.

Fryer with plastic body

We recommend paying attention to the following details:

• The design of the lid is good if it has a viewing window made of heat-resistant plastic, which will allow you to evaluate the color of the crust and judge the degree of readiness of the products without opening the device.
• Legs - The boiling oil appliance must be firmly supported. Therefore, it is important that its legs are rubberized or equipped with suction cups.
• The mesh handles and the device itself must be made of heat-resistant plastic.

Important! When choosing a device, make sure that it is provided with thermal insulation so that the case does not heat up during operation.

Modern deep fryers can be equipped with an electromechanical or electrical control system. The first ones are easy to use, cheaper to repair, but require more control than devices with a self-contained unit. Electric fryers allow you to set more accurate temperatures and minimize human intervention in the cooking process. True, such models are an order of magnitude higher than electromechanical ones.

Model with program selection and temperature control

Since the device is essentially simple, each manufacturer tries to give a "flavor" to his product, equipping it with additional functions. How convenient and necessary they are is up to you, but do not forget that how much a deep fryer costs directly depends on the number of options.

Many housewives will probably find the following additions useful:

• Temperature control is perhaps the most important function, without which you should not buy a deep fryer at all, because you can simply boil the oil, as mentioned above, in a saucepan on a regular stove. And the preparation of many dishes requires precision, otherwise the food may remain raw on the inside and burn on the outside. Most models are equipped with an adjustment that allows you to set the heating temperature from 100 to 200 degrees.
• "Cold zone" - if between the heating element and the bottom of the appliance the temperature is maintained below the boiling point of the oil, the food will not burn on the bowl, and the oil itself will retain its taste for a longer time.
• Auto shut-off with thermostat - stops heating when the specified temperature is reached and prevents spontaneous combustion.
• Timer - it is worth programming the frying time, and you can safely do other things, because after the expiration of the frying period, it will beep. State-of-the-art models can be equipped with a removable timer, which can be detached and put in a pocket after the fryer is started up.
• Automatic oil drain is a function that will help to remove fat after cooking, and if there is a special filter, at the same time to clean the oil for further use.

On a note! Many deep fryers can also be used as fondue - to dip slices of bread, cookies, fruits in melted cheese or chocolate. But for this it is necessary that the device be able to set and maintain the temperature much lower than the boiling point of the oil (for example, cheese melts at 60 degrees, and chocolate - at 45-50). The complete set of the deep fat fryer should include special long skewers for stringing delicacies.

Deep fat fryer with fondue function

The main disadvantage of deep-fried dishes is the huge amount of oil in which the food is cooked. Some manufacturers have taken this point into account, and the oil-free deep fryer has appeared on the market.

But even such a wonderful assistant cannot completely get rid of fat. She still needs a minimum amount of oil, for example, to process a kilogram of potatoes, it will take about 2 tablespoons. The device operates on the principle of an airfryer: a fan heater heats up and circulates hot air, which also contains oil particles. Food is heated and cooked with steam. True, cooking time will take 3 times more than when using regular deep fat, but the food turns out to be softer, with a golden crust.

In air frying, oil is added directly to the food

On a note! This device has an important nuance: although the consumption of oil for frying is indeed several times less, there may be more of it in the product itself than when cooking in standard deep fat. The fact is that during the operation of air frying, the crust does not form immediately, and the oil penetrates deeply into the food being prepared. Therefore, it makes sense to talk about saving, but hardly about healthy food.

To make the perfect French fries, childhood favorite cookies, crispy chicken wings or other dishes that are so great in a deep fryer, follow these simple rules:

1. 1. Choose the "right" oil - only purified, refined, ideally deodorized oil is suitable for deep frying. Food made with olive or corn oil will have a specific aroma and pleasant aftertaste. You can fry meat or fish in high-quality vegetable oil 2-3 times, dough and products in batter - 3-4 times, and fries - up to 6 times.
2. 2.Up to 10% of rendered animal fat can be added to vegetable oil, but only with a high degree of purification.
3. 3. Put food dried from excess moisture into the fryer - this will help the oil to foam and splash less, and the filters will last longer.
4. 4. To make the "right" French fries, you can, of course, buy a semi-finished product that has already been cut into perfect cubes. But to give shape to the workpiece, manufacturers fry the processed potatoes in vegetable oil, and these are extra calories. Prepare the cubes yourself: you can cut the potatoes with a knife, in a food processor or on a grater with a special attachment, and soaking the slices in water for 10-15 minutes will help get rid of excess starch.

Making your own fries is not that difficult

• Do not deep-fat salt foods, otherwise the crust will not form and the food will literally be saturated with fat. An exception is marinated pieces of meat or fish, but they must be wrapped in a layer of unsalted batter or breading. To finish the dish, sprinkle with fine salt and spices immediately after frying.
• Do not forget to drain the oil after cooking (even if you plan to reuse it), and thoroughly wash the container and mesh from the fat. Only use soft sponges and non-aggressive detergents to avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the bowl.
