HELPFUL HINTS FOR FRYING
Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when th e

hot oil can freely circulate all around the food thus allowing the fryer to main-

t a i n h o t t e r cooking temperatures.

• In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
• Cut or sort the food into uniform sizes. Cook same size pieces together so that they

will be done in the same amount of time.

• Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying. Water

on the surface can cause the oil to splatter and foam.

• When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Uniform and fine c ru m b s

s t i ck better than coarse and uneven ones. S h a ke off all ex t ra breading to help
keep oil clean.

• Foods with a coating should be spaced in fryer basket so as not to touch while

cooking.

• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, either r e m ove

the fryer basket or lower it into the hot oil before using a heat resistant metal spoon

to carefully place the food into the oil. If the fryer basket is immersed in oil, use the
b a s ket to remove the cooked fo o d .

HELPFUL HINTS ON OIL
• Never over fill or under fill the fryer with oil.Minimum and maximum oil amounts are

marked on the inside of the cooking reservoir.

• Clean or strained oil may be stored in fryer tempora ri l y, but should be transferred

to a covered container for storing once cooled. Store the container in the refrigerator.

• If you fry fish or seafood, the oil will absorb a fishy taste. We suggest you change

your oil before frying other foods .
