Battered Food Frying Tips R
• Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food to be
fried evenly.
• Shake off any excess flour or bread crumb coating to prevent any clumps
from forming when frying.
• Frying already pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry than completely
raw food.
• If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is
recommended to lower the basket into the hot oil first and then gently and
carefully place battered foods into the oil directly. This will prevent the batter
from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.
• Never fill the basket more than
space for even frying on all sides.
