Frying Time And Temperature - Oster CKSTDF1111 Instruction Manual

FryING tIMe AND teMperAture

The frying times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted to suit the different
quantities or thickness of food and to suit your own taste.
Preheat time is 7-10 minutes for fryer to reach desired temperature (Ready Indicator Light
will cycle On/Off during frying as temperature fluctuates due to food load).

tIps FOr OIL use AND stOrAGe
note: Do not use seasoned or flavored oil such as walnut, olive oil, lard or drippings
because they have a low smoke point. Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunflower
oil, soybean oil or grape seed oil (canola oil). These oils are safe for using in your deep
fryer as they have a high smoke point. Peanut oil is not recommended because it greatly
impacts the flavor.
• Oils should never be mixed when deep frying.
• High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil's smoke point.
• Replace oil if you notice:
- Excessive smoking at normal temperatures
- Strong oil discoloration
- A rancid smell
- Excessive foaming around the frying food
• Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when subjected to high/
prolonged heat. The more you use an oil, the more slowly it will pour. Its viscosity
changes because of changes to the oil's molecular structure. When smoke appears on
the oils' surface before the temperature reaches 190°C, your oil will no longer deep fry
effectively.
