TIPS FOR DEEP FRYING
•Fill the unit between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only.
•Do not over fill the basket . To achieve quality results deep frying food needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in “soggy” food.
•Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
•Before deep frying, remove ice crystals from food and blot dry with a towel. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow. For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes to create a crispier final product .
•Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and give you even colored, crispy food.
•Prepackaged frozen cooked chicken may cook faster than uncooked food.
•For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.
