Sunbeam Stainless DF6300 Questions & Answers

Until it is no longer usable.
If the oil starts bubbling up towards the top it should be changed. This indicates it is both dirty and has too much moisture trapped in it. Oil like this will not cook properly and can be dangerous as it will overflow when used.

This will happen if you do not change the oil regularly.
Water from deep-fried foods builds up in the oil and eventually it froths up over the top.
It also badly affects the actual cooking of the foods.
Once you see this frothing starting, change the oil.

Hi Keith, I have had mine for years as well and I really dont like it much, gets gluggy and hard to clean, however the grandkids tell me they love the chips. So I guess being clean does not beat good chips. It serves a purpose.

I have used solid oil in the fryer however you need to make sure it melts quick so the elements are not exposed for too long, I sat the solids on the elements and never had a problem with it, see how you go. I know what you mean about the lard/dripping, dad was the same.

Hi Liz, to be honest I'm not entirely sure but I don't see why not :)

Thank You so much for your help, I have purchased the Sunbeam VersaCook, Have cooked Chips for Dad and myself twice now using Dripping, Yummm so much more tasty!! Looking forward to using other Functions, Slow Cooker next time, I found the VersaCook Very easy to use and also Very Easy to clean!! Love It!! Many Thanks..
