deep frying tips
The basket should not be more than two-thirds full. Do not overfill.
Rub dry, humid foods with a cloth before frying.
Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures. Use high-quality
liquid frying oil or frying grease. Do not use butter, margarine or olive oil;
they are not suitable for frying because they already begin to smoke at
low temperatures. Never add water to the oil.
Food residue gives the oil a bad taste. If you intend to reuse the oil, filter
out the residue and store the oil in a cool, dark place. We suggest using
new oil after 2-3 uses.
If you use fat, break it up into small pieces. Turn the temperature control
to a low temperature and add the pieces slowly. Once the pieces have
melted and the correct oil level is reached, you can increase the
temperature. Never place the fat directly into the frying basket.
When frying starchy foods such as potatoes, do not exceed 340-350°F,
and keep the frying time as short as possible.
Choose the correct frying temperature and check the condition of the
food to be fried. A good rule of thumb is that pre-fried food requires a
higher temperature than raw food.
To avoid injury, do not move the deep fryer while the oil is still hot.
When frying dough-like foods, scrape off the excess dough and place
the pieces carefully into the oil.
