Deep Fat Frying Safely
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one third full of oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This lowers the fat
temperature too much resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, then lower it slowly into the hot oil or
fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause the fat to froth and spit if added to quickly.
6. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free of streaks of oil or fat.
NEVER allow aluminium foil to be in contact with the hob surface when in use.
DO NOT allow young children near to the cooker when the it is in use as the surfaces get
extremely hot!
