Handy Hints

Food should be crisp when deep fried. If results are soggy, it’s because the oil isn’t hot enough. This can be attributed to one or more of the following:

Not enough preheating time.

Temperature setting is too low.

Too much food in the basket (do not fill more than two thirds full).

Do not use solid frying oil, only use liquid oils.

Use a good quality liquid oil. For best results we recommend the oils listed (refer to next section).

We do not recommend fats that deteriorate quickly such as lard or dripping. Deep frying in butter or margarine is also not recommended because of the low smoke-point temperatures.

Oil can be re-used several times before it starts to break down (smoke point decreases, ie; the oil will burn at a lower temperature, fried food will be less crisp). Filter the cooled oil through a fine sieve then store in an airtight container in a dark place. As oil will absorb food flavours, it’s a good idea to label the container with the type of food the oil was used for. For example, you wouldn’t deep fry a dessert in oil previously used for cooking fish. A fine sieve can be a new chux cloth, paper coffee filter or clean cotton material.

Olive oil is not recommended for deep frying due to its low smoke point.
