FRYING TIPS
SELECTING AND CHANGING THE FRYING OIL
• Use a good quality vegetable or peanut oil.
• Frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, and animal fat is NOT
recommended because of low temperature smoke point.
• DO NOT mix two types of oil.
• Change oil regularly to maintain optimum frying and flavor quality.
• Oil used for French fries can be used 10-12 times before changes if oil is
filtered after each use. Oil used for food that is high in protein (such as
meat or fish) should be changed more often.
• To filter oil, allow oil to completely cool. Cheesecloth or paper towel may be
used as a filter to strain oil.
• Always follow food packaging directions.
• DO NOT add fresh oil to used oil.
• Always change the oil if it starts to foam when heated, when it has a strong
smell or taste, or when it turns dark and/or syrupy.
BEFORE FRYING
• Excess water or ice particles can cause hot oil to splatter or foam. Remove
any excess water from fresh food by blotting with a paper towel. Remove
any ice chunks or buildup from frozen food.
GENERAL TIPS
• DO NOT use plastic utensils in hot oil.
• Season food after frying.
• If food is not as crisp as desired, reduce batch size.
DISPOSING OF OIL
• Pour cool oil into its original (resealable) empty plastic bottle and label with
the contents.
BASKET USAGE WITH FRESHLY BATTERED FOODS
• Freshly battered foods should be carefully placed directly into oil. First,
lower basket completely and then carefully place each piece of battered
food into the hot oil. Use basket to remove fried battered foods.
STORAGE
• Basket handle can be removed and placed in basket along with the power
cord. Place oil pot in base and then add basket.
• It is best to store all oils in refrigerator or a cool, dark, dry place for up to 6
months.
