surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in
“soggy” food. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.
• Besurethatallicecrystalsareremovedfromthefoodandfoodiscompletelydry.
Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow.
• Coatedfoods(breadcrumbs,batters,etc.)arebestfordeepfrying.Thecoating
acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
• Forbestresults,defrostfrozenfoodsfor20minutespriortofrying.
• Fryfoodsatthecorrecttemperatureforbestresults.Thiswillpreventburningand
give you even colored, crispy food.

• Forevencooking,shakebaskethalfwaythroughcookingtime.
• Donotuseseasonedorflavoredoilsuchaswalnut,oliveoil,lardordrippings
because they have a low smoke point. Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil,
sunflower oil, soybean oil or grape seed oil (canola oil) because these oils have a
high smoke point. Peanut oil is not recommended because it impacts the
flavor greatly.
• Oilsshouldneverbemixedwhendeepfrying.
• Highheat,waterandburntfoodparticlesbreakdowntheoil’ssmokepoint.
• Replaceoilifyounotice:
- Excessive smoking at normal temperatures
- Strong oil discoloration
- A rancid smell
- Excessive foaming around the frying food
• Oildarkenswithusebecausetheoilandfoodmoleculesburnwhensubjectedto
high/prolonged heat. The more you use an oil, the more slowly it will pour.
Itsviscositychangesbecauseofchangestotheoil’smolecularstructure.When
smokeappearsontheoils’surfacebeforethetemperaturereaches375°F,youroil
will no longer deep-fry effectively.
• Whenfryingfoodswithstrongflavorand/oraromalikefishorchicken,usetheoil
only once.
• Filteringtheoilwithacookingoilfilterorfine-meshstrainercankeepitfresher.
Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the life of the oil, this should never
be done. This process of chilling oil then bringing the oil to room temperature causes
excessive splattering during the heat up process.
• Storethecoveredoilinacooldarkplace,foruptothreemonths.Checktheoil
before using for color, smell, or excessive foaming. Discard the oil if it shows any
of these qualities.
