• 2 gallons of oil in a 10 1/2 quart (9.9L) pot.
STEP 1 - Place steaks on steak rack.
STEP 2 - Bring oil temperature to 350°F (177°C). It is important to maintain a 350°F (177°C) temperature
while cooking. Place rack in basket and slowly lower basket into oil (Wear Protective Gloves).
Cook steaks for total amount of cooking time using the chart below:
Cooking Time for 1 to 4 Steaks
HOW TO DEEP FRY STEAKS
Thickness Medium Rare Medium Well Done
1/2” 1 Minute 2 Minute 3 Minute
3/4” 2 Minute 3 Minute 4 Minute
1” 3 Minute 4 Minute 5 Minute
1 1/4” 4 Minute 5 Minute 6 Minute
1 1/2” 5 Minute 6 Minute 7 Minute
Do not allow oil to get hotter than 400°F (204°C). One gallon of oil can reach 350°F (177°C) in 7 to
10 minutes. Use thermometer to check temperature, or if oil begins to smoke,
IMMEDIATELY turn burner OFF.
When in use, do not leave cooker unattended. Oil will heat up quickly and ignite at 550°F (287°C) to
700°F (371°C).
Failure to completely thaw and dry foods may cause oil or grease to overflow. When frying with
oil or grease, all food products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried to remove excess
water. If ice is present on food, it means the thawing process is not complete and may cause a
boil over when placed into HOT oil causing a fire.
Do not leave oil/grease unattended while in use.
