DEEP FRYING GUIDE – Prepared Foods
Prepared foods listed in this chart are breaded and cooked
prior to packaging. If frozen, do not thaw; place foods
directly from package into preheated oil. If there are frozen
ice granules around prepared foods, set pieces on a paper
towel and pat dry.
Use this chart as a guide to deep frying times. Best results
are obtained when food is cooked in small batches and size
of pieces is uniform. Check deep fried foods at the shortest
times given; deep fry until heated through.
