FROZEN FOOD
•
Frozen food cools oil quickly, so fry a single layer at a time.
•
Shake off excess ice or water before adding the food to the oil.
•
Keep the pieces apart, or they’ll stick together.
•
Use the highest temperature setting, and lower the basket slowly into the oil to reduce
foaming.
•
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
