COOKING WITH THE FRYER
Preparation
Bring fryer up to temperature.
Prepare raw, wet foods by draining and wiping dry to minimize spatter.
For uniform doneness, keep all food for a basket the same size.
When using baskets, keep food at maximum of 1
1
/2 (680g) pounds of product per basket.
Lower basket carefully into oil to prevent spattering.
Special Processing
Turn doughnuts and fritters only once during frying.
When frying potatoes and onion rings, shake basket several times in a manner that prevents grease
spattering.
Carefully drop batter-covered foods individually into fry tank or basket.
If basket is used, cover basket with shortening before loading.
Food such as corn-on-the-cob must be submerged during frying. Stack a second empty basket on
top to keep corn submerged.
After Frying
Remove baskets immediately after frying.
Hang baskets to drain on rear basket hangers.
Remove food.
Season food as necessary after removing it from the fryer.
Avoid salt mixing with the shortening since it will hasten chemical breakdown of the oil.
