Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe-

cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla-

mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures

and not browning foods too much.

Frying frozen food

Deep frozen foods for frying absorb a lot of oil and cook more slowly.

3 Defrost frozen food to room temperature before drying.

3 Observe the amount and temperature given in the following table or on the

packet.
