FRYING FROZEN FOOD
Frozen foods are very cold. They therefore lower the temperature of the liquid used for cooking. For best
results, never exceed the maximum recommended quantity of food when frying. Frozen foods are often cove-
red with a layer of ice. This should be removed before cooking. Lower the basket into the oil very slowly to
prevent the oil from boiling over.
The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted according to the initial temperature of the food
being fried and the temperatures indicated on the packaging of the food.
