9 DF-1250T Deep Fryer
Deep Frying Chart for Fresh or Frozen Uncooked Packaged Foods
For packaged, frozen foods look for this statement on box “not pre-cooked.” Fresh foods may
be purchased in packages labeled “not pre-cooked.”
Initially fill Deep Fryer with one-gallon vegetable oil. Use this chart as a guide to deep frying times. Frying times may
vary because of food temperature, quantity and size of pieces. Best results are obtained when food is cooked in small
batches and size of pieces is uniform. Check deep fried foods at the shortest times given; deep fry until heated through.
Fresh indicates foods prepared from a recipe or purchased fresh, not frozen. Read package label to indicate prepared,
packaged foods that are NOT precooked. If frozen, do not thaw; place foods directly from package into preheated oil. If
there are frozen ice granules around prepared foods, set pieces on a paper towel and pat dry. It is very important to dry
fresh sliced potatoes on a paper towel before adding to preheated oil. Moist vegetables will cause the oil to splatter.
