■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
