FRYING TIPS

For best cooking results, take note of these helpful tips:

•DO NOT mix different oils or new and old oil together.

•Deep frying at a high temperature ensures the best results. Speedy frying and searing of the exterior of foods to retain the foods moisture.

•Make sure that the food to be fried is dry and free of excess moisture.

•When frying frozen foods, be sure to clean off any ice or moisture from the food before placing in the fryer basket. Fill the fryer basket with food, insert basket lid, place deep fryer lid over the basket and lower into the oil to minimize oil spattering.

•To cook evenly, pieces of food should be the same size and thickness. Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.

•Always use the fryer basket lid when frying to keep the food submerged in the oil for better fried results.

•Do not fry small foods that will fall through the fryer basket.

•Do not overload the fryer basket with food.

•Follow recommended recipes and cooking portions.

•Always make sure the fryer basket and lid are clean, dry and in good working order prior to use.
