Fry Basket Guidelines

Do not overfill baskets. (See table for recommended basket capacities below)
Carefully lower basket into oil.
When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn food only once during frying.
When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake the basket several times in a way
that does not splatter the shortening.
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.
Fry Basket Capacity:
