CDN IRXL400C - ProAccurate® Insta-Read® Candy & Deep Fry Thermometer - Celsius EN - Manual (Page 2)

Note: Clean the thermometer stem before each use.
Tip: Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes after
it is removed from oven. This allows time for the meat’s internal
temperature to stabilize and the juices to redistribute. This will
result in a roast that is both juicier and easier to carve.

OIL TEMPERATURE GUIDE
325–375°F/163-190°C is the normal desired
temperature for deep fry cooking.
Note: When food is added to hot oil, the temperature of the oil
immediately drops at least 50°F/28°C. You will need to bring
the oil temperature back to the desired cooking temperature.
Frying at lower temperatures results in lighter color, less
flavor development and increased oil absorption.
