6. Frying Tips
• Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a lot of
protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry potatoes and is
filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the same oil for
more than 6 months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color becomes
dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
Important: When frying frozen food such as French Fries,
you should not exceed 1.25 lbs. (625 gr.). For healthy,
crisp results, limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.) or less.
The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one basket 1/2
full. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity, personal cooking
preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc...
