Food should be crisp when deep
fried. If results are soggy, it’s because
the oil isn’t hot enough. This can be
attributed to one or more of the
following:
•Not enough preheating time.
•Temperature setting is too low.
•Too much food in the basket (do
not fill more than two thirds full).
•Do not use solid frying oil, only use
liquid oils.
•Use a good quality liquid oil. For
best results we recommend the oils
listed (refer to next section).
We do not recommend fats
that deteriorate quickly such as
lard or dripping. Deep frying in
butter or margarine is also not
recommended because of the low
smoke-point temperatures.
•Oil can be re-used several times
before it starts to break down
(smoke point decreases, ie; the oil
will burn at a lower temperature,
fried food will be less crisp). Filter
the cooled oil through a fine sieve
then store in an airtight container in
a dark place. As oil will absorb food
flavours, it’s a good idea to label
the container with the type of food
the oil was used for. For example,
you wouldn’t deep fry a dessert in
oil previously used for cooking fish.
A fine sieve can be a new chux
cloth, paper coffee filter or clean
cotton material.
•Olive oil is not recommended for
deep frying due to its low smoke
point.
