Safety requirements for deep fat frying
Hotplates General Information Notes
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

Always
Never
Use utensils with skirts or rims e.g. buckets
and some kettles.
Use badly dented or distorted pans.
Leave an element switched on when not
cooking.
Use good quality flat-based cookware on all
electric heat sources.
Ensure pans match size of heating area.
Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and
away from heat sources.
Always lift pans, do not drag.
Always use pan lids except when frying.

cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.
drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause scratches in the surface of
the hob.

Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before
use.
Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so
generally only a low or medium heat is necessary.
Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats
and stands e.g. Wok stands- they can use
overheating.
Cook food directly on the ceramic glass or
hotplates.
Drag or slide utensils, along the hob surface.
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always ensure that are placed centrally
over the heated areas and have the same diameter as the heating area used.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob surround.
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it is not in use.
Do not place aluminum or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched ON unless they are being used. We
recommend not to place larde preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating areas.
1. Use a deep pan ,large enough to completely cover the appropriate 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 only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods,
in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.
