Frying Tips

 

R

•  Food will cook well once the proper oil temperature is achieved (within apx. 10 

minutes). Be sure to check the oil temperature before placing the fry basket into 
the unit. The adjustable temperature control is clearly marked and easy to follow. 

•  When you fry several different kinds of food, always fry the food that uses  

the lowest temperature setting first.

• Do not mix different types of oil for frying.
•  Frying already pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry than completely  

raw food.

•  If you wish to fry frozen foods, it is highly recommended to remove any ice  

build-up before frying. Ice or water can cause splattering of oil.

•  You may use oil more than once. It is recommended that you filter used oil  

before reusing.

•  

It is recommended to replace the oil after every 10-15 uses; or earlier if  
the oil becomes brown and thick.

•  Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food to be  

fried evenly.

•  Shake off any excess flour or bread crumb coating to prevent any clumps  

from forming when frying.

•  Frying already pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry than completely  

raw food.

•  If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is  

recommended to lower the basket into the hot oil first and then gently and 
carefully place battered foods into the oil directly. This will prevent the batter 
from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.

•  Never fill the basket more than 

2

3

 full. In order to cook evenly, the food needs 

space for even frying on all sides.

HINTS:
1.  Pre-fried (food dipped in batter/coating) requires a higher temperature than raw 

food in order to have a crisp coating.

 Pre-cooked food that does not have a batter/coating does not require a 
higher temperature. 

2.   When frying dough-like food, scrape off excess dough and carefully place pieces 

into oil.

3.   Pat uncooked food dry to remove excess moisture and avoid oil splatter.
4.   Rely on frying times found on food packaging or in recipe/cookbook.
