Hints and Tips
z Always use oil and fats that can withstand high temperatures.
z Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
z When frying, oil may take on the flavor of other foods that are being fried.
Therefore, fry strong flavor foods such as fish after such foods as french fries to
avoid crossing flavors.
z Fry foods of similar size at once to avoid under or over cooking foods.
z Food for frying should be completely dry to avoid over flowing and to help make
the oil last longer.
z When preparing potato based food (chips, fries, etc.) cut them up and wash
them in cold water to remove the starch. This will prevent them from sticking.
Dry carefully.
z Do not over fill basket, oil temperature will drop making the food greasy and not
crispy.
z Do not keep oil at high temperatures for long periods of time, it will lose its
properties.
z Set the temperature dial to the lowest setting between batches.
z Do not leave cooked food in the basket to drain for too long. The vapors could
cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
z Frozen food can be cooked in the basket without being defrosted.
z Only metal utensils can be used, do not use plastic as they will melt.
