DEEP FRYING GUIDE – Fresh or Uncooked Foods

Fresh indicates food prepared from a recipe or purchased fresh, not frozen. Read package label to determine if prepared, pack- aged foods are NOT precooked. If frozen, do not thaw; place foods directly from package into preheated oil. If there are ice granules around prepared foods, set pieces on a paper towel and pat dry. Moist vegetables will cause the oil to splatter.

Frying times may vary because of food temperature, quantity and size of pieces. Best results are obtained when food is cooked in small batches and size of pieces is uniform. Check deep-fried foods at the shortest times given; deep fry until heated through.
