Hints For Deep Frying
FRYING
• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results
are obtained when the hot oil can freely circulate all around
the food.
• In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and
less cooking time.
• Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces
together so they will be cooked in the same amount of time.
• Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture
before frying. Water on the surface of the food can cause the
oil to spatter and foam.
• When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine,
uniform crumbs stick better than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off
all extra breading to help keep oil clean.
• Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid
batter, make sure the Basket has been lowered into the hot oil
before placing foods into the oil. This will prevent any foods from
sinking to the bottom where they would be difficult to retrieve.
OIL
• Never over-fill or under-fill the Deep Fryer with oil. The MINimum
(6 cups) and MAXimum (8 cups) oil fill lines are shown on the
inside of the Glass Bowl.
• Store clean or strained oil in Deep Fryer Glass Bowl for only short
amounts of time. Transfer oil to a covered container once
cooled. Store oil in the refrigerator.
• When frying fish or seafood, the oil may absorb a “fishy” taste.
To eliminate transferring this “fishy” taste to other foods, we
suggest changing the oil before frying other foods.
