FRYING FOODS
•Heat shortening to set temperature.
•Pieces of product to be fried should be about the same size to ensure the same doneness.
•Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize spatter when lowering into the hot oil.
•Do not overfill baskets.
•Carefully lower baskets into oil.
•When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.
•When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake basket several times in a way that does not spatter the shortening.
•
When frying is completed, remove baskets or product. Hang baskets on rear basket hangers. Remove food and season it. Do not salt food over the shortening because salt could cause a chemical change in the oil.
