b.For consistent product quality, convenience and long-term savings, use a high-quality liquid frying compound.

c.The frying compound should be filtered at least daily or even more frequently if cooking is heavy. This ensures the longest life possible for the frying compound, gives better taste to the food being prepared, and minimizes flavors being transferred from batch to batch.
