To protect the shortening when the fryer is not in
immediate use, the thermostat temperature should
be lowered to 275" F or below.
Frying breaded food products requires frequent filtering
to keep the shortening clean. The shortening should be
filtered after every 3 to 6 frying cycles. For the best
quality product, DO NOT EXCEED 6 CYCLES
WITHOUT FILTERING. Refer to paragraph 3- 13
for the filtering procedure.
Maintain the shortening at the proper frying level,
adding fresh shortening as needed.
Taste the cold shortening daily for signs of bad flavor.
Shortening which has a bad flavor or shows signs of
foaming or boiling should be discarded. KEEP THE
FRYPOT CLEAN.
