Useful frying hints
• Do not fill the basket more than three-quarters full with frozen foods.
• Always dry food well, especially chipped potatoes. If left damp they will not
turn out crisp.
• All foods, except those with high starch content like chips, should be coated
before frying. Typical coatings are seasoned flour, breadcrumbs or batter.
When frying, carefully time foods to avoid over- cooking. The cooking time
may vary according to the quantity and thickness of the food being fried.
Remember a difference of one or two minutes can result in over-cooked
food.
• Use a maximum of 200 grams of chips per litre of oil.
• When using frozen products, use a maximum of 100 grams because the oil
cools off rapidly. Shake frozen products above the sink to remove excess ice.
• When fresh chips are used, dry the chips after washing them to ensure no
water gets into the oil. Fry the chips in two turns. First time (blanch) 5 to 10
minutes at 170 degrees. Second time (finishing) 2 to 4 minutes at 175
degrees. Allow the oil to drip off.
