COOKING GUIDE
RECOMMENDED COOKING TIPS
•
When cooking food that has not already been marinated or prepared in batter,
it is important to dry out excess moisture with paper towels, as excess moisture causes
the oil temperature to drop.
•
It is important to use clean oil each time when cooking. It is recommended that oil
be changed every time you deep fry. Foods that have a distinct smell, such as fish,
will taint the oil, so that food that you fry afterwards may take on that smell and taste.
•
Recommended oils for deep frying include: all vegetable oils, canola oil, peanut oil
or grapeseed oil. Frying with speciality nut oils other than peanut oil is not recommended.
Extra virgin olive oil is also not recommended.
•
It is important not to overcrowd the basket or cook too much food at once.
This is to make sure food is crispy and evenly cooked.
