the water back into the pot.
d. The water level in the pot is now the maximum fill
level for the cooking oil.
e. Pour out the water and dry the pot prior to filling
it with oil.
8. Begin cooking.
a. Use the same size pieces to ensure even
cooking.
b. Carefully lower basket into oil.
c. Batter-covered foods should be lowered
carefully, one by one, into the basket or placed
into the basket and then lowered into the oil.
d. Do not add food while the basket is submerged
in oil to prevent splattering oil.
e. Avoid water-based marinades.
f. Always use metal tongs or slotted spoons tore
move food. Never use plastic utensils.
g. Do not overcrowd the frying basket, which can
cause under cooking, uneven cooking, and
overflowing of the oil.
h. Do not salt foods over the appliance as this will
contaminate the oil and can cause damage to
the vats or mesh baskets.
i. Because frying is a very fast cooking process,
food can blacken, burn, and become a potential
fire hazard if cooked only a few minutes too long.
j. Keep all flammable products such as paper
towels and other cloth items away from the
appliance.
k. While in close proximity to the appliance, wear
eye protection and use oven mitts to
protect against burns.
Note:
Do not test the internal temperature of the food while
it is submerged in the hot oil, as this will lead to an inaccu
-
rate temperature reading.

food grade thermometer.

fat does cause fires.

6.3 Reusing Cooking Oil
1. Cooking oil can be reused. Most cooking oil brands
recommend using oil four to five times if it is strained
or filtered. It can then be stored in a cool, dark place
from three to nine months.
a. When planning to reuse the oil, strain it through
a cheesecloth or sieve.
b. During the storage period, bacteria can form on
poultry, fish, or animal fats remaining in the oil.
c. Typically this bacteria is quickly destroyed when
the oil is reheated. However, if it smells
unpleasant or rancid, discard properly and use
new cooking oil.
2. Used cooking oil has a reduced Flash Point
temperature due to the partial breakdown of the oil
caused by previous use. Although safe for normal
use, this is another reason not to leave cooking oil
unattended during heat up and cooking.
3. Store the oil properly.
a. Store the used oil in a sealed and lightproof
container.
b. For best quality, refrigerate used cooking oil.
c. If the oil is clouded, starts to foam, or has a foul
odor, taste, or smell, properly dispose of it.
