Fry Basket Guidelines
Do not overfill baskets. (See fry basket capacity below) Carefully lower basket into
oil.
When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.
When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake the basket several times.
Batter covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or
basket. If you use the basket, first dip the basket into the shortening to
reduce batter-build up on basket surfaces.
When frying is completed, remove basket or product. Hang basket on rear
hanger.
