Deep Fryers: Useful Information

For one, if deep fryers smoke at normal temperatures, it’s definitely time to replace the oil. You should also be wary of strongly discolored oil or oil that emits even a somewhat rancid smell. Both of these can indicate oil that has turned. Many deep fryers allow you to remove the oil after each use, which many chefs recommend. The method of choice is placing that oil in a cool, dark place. In this way, the oil should be good for upwards of three months.

FAQs:

Q: The unit is set up and plugged in, the heating element is set into the well and has the proper amount of oil, but the oil is still not heating up. What’s wrong?

A: Look under the unit to check that the two rubber feet on the bottom of the unit are securely in place. Ensure the safety switch, just below the control panel (located at the top of the heating element), is pushed in. It must be pushed in for the unit to function. Be sure that the deep fryer unit is set up properly. If the deep fryer is setup correctly yet is not functioning, press the red reset button.  Aroma Co.

Q: Is it safe to place the heating element directly into the oil?

A: Yes. These deep fryers were specifically designed for the heating element to sit directly in the oil. The heating element must be placed into the well before the oil is added. Aroma Co.
