Carefully lower basket into oil.
When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.
When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake basket several times in a way that does not splatter
the shortening.
Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use
the basket, first dip basket into shortening to reduce batter build-up on basket surfaces.
When frying is completed, remove basket or product. Hang basket on rear basket hanger. Remove
food and season it. Do not salt food over the shortening because salt could cause a chemical change
in the oil.
