GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR ELECTRIC FRYER
Ready to enjoy your deep fryer? Chard puts YOU in charge!
It’s easy to make some of the most delicious foods you’ve ever tasted with your Chard
Deep Fryer. The large capacity gives you flexibility to cook for a hungry group We’ve
included some tips on the basics of deep frying items like turkeys, as well as steaming and
boiling in larger quantities using precisely controlled temperatures. You may want to try
your own unique twists and techniques. OK…let’s get cooking!
Deep Frying:
It’s hard to find anything more moist and delicious than perfectly prepared fried foods. From
meats to seafood to vegetables and even desserts, deep frying is a crowd pleasing way to
enjoy a meal for a large gathering.
Chard continues to express the need for caution and safety. With that in mind, here are
some helpful hints.
Temperature control is very important when frying correctly. Your Chard Deep Fryer
features a temperature and automatic timer gauge to help put you in control. Pay careful
attention to make sure the items are cooking thoroughly. Different foods have different cook
times. The goal is a golden brown exterior and moist, thoroughly cooked interior.
Ideal Temperature for:
French Fries - 350°F
Fish - 325-350°F
Doughnuts, etc. - 325°F
Deep Frying Turkeys:
This has become enormously popular, and why not? Your turkey can turn out moist and
delicious in as little as 45 to 90 minutes. Here are some things to remember. The proper
size turkey for this fryer is no larger than 18 pounds, otherwise you will risk spilling the hot
oil. Too large a bird also risks an unevenly cooked product. Do not start frying with a bird
that is still frozen, as that also leads to uneven cooking, and frozen water droplets may
splatter. You can cook a whole turkey, or just a turkey breast. Heat the oil to 365°F. Place
the turkey in the supplied basket and lower carefully using the supplied hook tool. Wearing
protective gloves and glasses is always a good idea for safety. Cook times will vary on size
of the bird. The internal temperature will be 175°F when fully cooked.
