This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking
the food may stick to the basket. THIS METHOD
OF COOKING REQUIRES EXTREME CARE.
1. Follow steps 1 - 6 only from the deep fry
cooking instructions on page 9.
2. Place the frying basket into the vessel with
the heated oil.
3. Coat the food in batter (see recipes on page
31) and allow it to drain slightly to get rid of
the excess coating.
4. Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food
into the hot oil, using a suitable implement
or tongs.
This allows the batter to become solid and
prevents it sealing to the mesh of the basket.
Note: Remember to take care as the oil may
spit as the food is added.
5. You can now follow the deep fry cooking
instructions from steps 8-10 on page 9.
