DEEP-FRYING GUIDE – Fresh or Uncooked Foods
Fresh indicates food prepared from a recipe or purchased fresh, not
frozen. Read package label to determine if prepared, packaged foods
are NOT precooked. If there are ice granules around prepared foods, set
pieces on a paper towel and pat dry. Moist vegetables will cause the oil
to splatter. Follow all instructions for removal of moisture/ice and thawing
before cooking.
Frying times may vary because of food temperature, quantity and size of
pieces. 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 fully cooked.
