Question 1

What is the best oil for frying?

Accepted Answer

Picking the correct oil is one of the best ways to ensure deep frying success, as the oil ensures great taste and flavor, and helps your food become crispy and delicious. But there are so many options in market, which one should you pick? We have listed the most popular types of oils that people opt for in the kitchen for your conderation.
Vegetable oil
It is one of the most popular and affordable options, the smoke point is 400 to 450??C, so it can be used to fry most of the foods. Another benefit of vegetable oil is that it doesn't have a super strong taste so won't detract from the flavours of your food.
Peanut oil
peanut oil is another good choice to use for frying, the smoke point is 450??C. Peanut oil is great for letting the natural taste of your food shine through.
Canola oil
Canola oil is a great choice for a basic, inexpensive oil that will get the job done and leave you with crisp food. The smoke point is 400°C.
Olive oil
Olive oil is more suitable for drizzling on salads and pasta, as well as eating with breads, we do not recommend you use it for frying as it has a very low smoke point.
Lard (melted)
Lard is medium-heat oil, the smoke point is 190°C, if you like, you can use melted lard for frying. It is neutral flavored and will not infuse the food you're cooking. Another benefit is lard reduces the amount of bad cholesterol in your food, so it's healthy to use when cooking with a deep fat fryer.

Question 2

What does "Min. Pause Period: 30mins" mean to the deep fryer?

Accepted Answer

When the temperature is getting too high, like exceeding 230 degrees, the RESET button pin will pop out. You need to wait at least 30 minutes for the temperature to drop below 150 degrees before pressing the RESET button to reset. You cannot press the RESET button to reset it when the temperature is high.

Question 3

How many amps does WeChef Deep Fryer use? Can I use dual-tank fryer at home?

Accepted Answer

A single tank fryer use amp about 15A and dual-tank fryer can reach about 30A.
Normally it is not recommneded to use a dual-tank fryer at home. A typical 120V home outlet is on a 15-amp or 20-amp breaker. If you use a dual-tank fryer at home, it may trip your breaker. If you have a big family and really want to use a dual-tank at home, please kindly find a professional electrician to help you install a 30-amp outlet at home to fully power the dual-tank fryer.

Question 4

Do I need to close the lid when fying something?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you keep the lid open when trying to frying something. Moisture in the food is going to boil off during frying, so it's important to leave the lid off the tank during frying to let the moisture vent away to atmosphere. If you close the lid, the moisture will gather under the lid and it will drip back into the hot oil when you open the lid, causing the oil to splutter and make hurt to you.

Question 5

Can I add more oil to Wechef Fryer while in use?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is YES. If you don't start with enough oil, you may feel like that you need to add more oil to cover your food fully. Adding more oil won't cause dangerous effects, because oil has no water content, it will not spatter. However, it will lower the oil temperature and interfere with the cooking process. It may take some time for the colder oil to heat up to the desired temperature, during this process the food might absorb too much oil and become soggy or greasy.
A kind note: Refrigerated oil can cause excessive splattering, please only add room temperature oil to hot oil.

There is no necessary to install an exhaust fan system. Typically, a deep fryer is not going to create a lot of smoke if you have used it properly. It will smoke when:

(2) The food is wet. At this point, we recommend you alway pat dry the food before frying. It is not safe to fry wet or frozen food.
(3) Too much oil in the tank. It can cause splattering and smoking which will make your kitchen smell terrible. Don't fill the deep fryer with too much oil and too much food.
