TIPS ON DEEP FRYING CHIPS 1. Use thick, straight cut chips (greater than 13mm) or wedges • Thin chips and crinkle chips absorb more oil and therefore use up more oil from the fryer • If the chips are frozen, don’t thaw. Water from thawed chips damages the oil 2.
Page 24
6. Drain chips well • Vigorously shake the basket of cooked food twice and hang it for at least 20 seconds over the hot fryer. This returns some oil to the fryer 7. Look for signs of oil/fat Degradation • If the oil is damaged (eg dark colour, smoking) discard it all. 8.
