FAQs

What is the capacity of the pan?

The pan has a diameter of 20cm, suitable for family meals or smaller batches of fried food.

Can this pan be used on an induction hob?

Yes, this Prima chip pan set is compatible with induction hobs, as well as gas, electric, and solid hotplates.

How do I safely use the fry basket?

Lower the basket slowly and carefully into the hot oil with the food. Lift it out gently once cooked to allow excess oil to drain.

What type of oil should I use for deep frying?

Use a high smoke point oil suitable for deep frying, such as vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil. Always follow oil manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines.

Is the lid essential for frying?

The lid is useful for retaining heat and reducing oil splatter. It can also be used to cover the pan when not in use or between batches.

How much oil should I put in the pan?

Do not fill the pan more than one-third full with oil to prevent overflow and ensure safe frying.

Is the set easy to maintain?

Yes, the set is designed for everyday convenience. It is easy to clean by hand and is also dishwasher safe.

Troubleshooting

Food is not crisping evenly.

Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (typically 175-190°C or 350-375°F for most items). Do not overcrowd the basket, as this lowers the oil temperature. Ensure food is patted dry before frying.

Excessive oil splatter.

Ensure the pan is not overfilled with oil. Use the lid when appropriate to contain splatter. Carefully lower food into the oil using the basket.

Pan is difficult to clean.

Allow the pan to cool completely. For stubborn residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a short period before washing. Dishwasher safe for easier cleaning.

Food is sticking to the basket.

Ensure the basket and oil are sufficiently hot before adding food. Lightly coating the basket with oil before use may help, though this is less common for deep frying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before first use, wash the pan, lid, and basket with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Ensure the fry basket handle is securely attached. When ready to use, place the pan on your chosen hob type, add cooking oil (following safe oil handling guidelines), and heat to the desired temperature. Do not overfill the pan with oil – a maximum of one-third full is recommended.

Compatibility: This chip pan is suitable for use on gas, electric, solid hotplates, and importantly, it is also compatible with induction hobs.

Care: After use and once cooled, empty the oil safely. The pan, lid, and basket can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel surface. Dry thoroughly after washing to maintain its appearance and prevent water spots.
