Useful Frying Hints
- Pieces of food should be of equal size and thickness , to ensure that the food cooks at the same time.
- Do not use pieces which are too thick as they may not cook through completely.
- Do not fill the basket more than three-quarters full with frozen foods.
- Always dry food well, especially chipped potatoes. If left damped they will not turn crisp.
- All foods, except those with a high starch content (chips, doughnuts), should be coated before frying. Typical coatings are seasoned flour, breadcrumbs or batter.
- Before frying, always wait until the temperature light goes out before lowering the basket into the oil.
- When frying, carefully time foods to avoid overcooking. The cooking time may vary according to the quantity and thickness of the food being fried. Remember a difference of one or two minutes can result in overcooked food.
