Deep Fat Frying Safely

1.Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.

2.Never fill the pan more than one third full of oil.

3.Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

4.Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This lowers the fat temperature too much resulting in greasy food.

5.Always dry food thoroughly before frying, then lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause the fat to froth and spit if added too quickly.

6.Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.

7.Keep the outside of the pan clean and free of streaks of oil or fat.
