The electrical fryer maintains a temperature of 180/190°C, which is the maximum temperature before the oil deteriorates.
To conserve not only the taste quality of food, but also its golden lightness, we advise you to filter the oil after each fry (with paper filter available in the shops), and to change it every 8 times when frying battered food, and every 12 times when just frying potatoes.
