then dip into the dry bread crumb mixture and follow the directions for frying.
TIPS FOR FRYING FOOD WITH BATTER COATING
• Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food to be fried evenly.
• Shake off any excess fl our or bread crumb coating to prevent any clumps from forming when frying.
• If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is recommended to lower the
basket when frying the basket into the hot oil fi rst and then gently and carefully place battered foods
into the oil directly. This will prevent the batter from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.
• Never fi ll the basket more than 2/3 full. In order to cook evenly, the food needs space for oil to fry each
side.
