The crispiness of your fresh fries in the Cookworks Fryer depends on the oil and water content. Be sure to dry the potato sticks well after cutting and before coating them with oil. For best results, cut the potatoes into thinner sticks and add slightly more oil.
What to do if fried snacks aren't crispy in my Cookworks KDF-596D Fryer?
If your fried snacks aren't crispy when using the Cookworks Fryer, it might be because you're using snacks intended for traditional deep frying. Try using oven snacks instead, or lightly brush some oil onto your snacks before frying to achieve a crispier result.
What to do if my Cookworks KDF-596D doesn't work?
If your Cookworks Fryer isn't working, first ensure it's properly plugged into an earthed wall socket. Also, check that you have set the timer according to the 'Using the Appliance' section. Avoid overloading the cooking tray; smaller batches cook more evenly. Finally, verify that the temperature setting is appropriate for the food you are cooking, adjusting as needed per the 'Using the Appliance' section.
Why is white smoke coming out of my Cookworks KDF-596D?
If you notice white smoke coming from your Cookworks Fryer, it's likely due to preparing greasy ingredients. Try setting the temperature below 180°C when cooking such foods. Another cause could be greasy residues in the tray from previous use. Ensure you thoroughly clean the tray after each use to prevent grease from heating up and causing smoke.
Why are my fresh potato fries fried unevenly in the Cookworks KDF-596D Fryer?
Unevenly fried fresh potato fries in your Cookworks Fryer may be due to not soaking the potato sticks properly. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes, then dry them with kitchen paper before frying. Also, ensure you are using a type of fresh potato that stays firm during frying.
