PROBLEMS
•
If the oil foams and threatens to overflow, there's too much food in the basket (take some out), the
food is too moist (dry it a bit and try again), or the oil is old or contaminated (replace it).
•
Every time oil is heated, it deteriorates.
•
Every time food is put into it, moisture, particles of food and fat, flour and spices from coatings, water
from frozen foods, cause further deterioration.
•
Particles blacken, burn, and stick to the next batch of food, altering its look and taste. Filtering can
alleviate this a bit.
•
Even filtered oil will be past its best after 10 to 12 uses.
•
Pre-cooked and oven chips have a coating of oil from the pre-cooking process. This will thicken or
discolour the oil in your fryer.
•
If you cook coated foods regularly, it might be worth keeping two lots of oil, one for coated foods
and one for "oil-friendly" foods.
•
As a rough guide, if you notice a marked improvement in flavour after changing the oil, you should
have changed it earlier.
•
Your Local Authority will have a depot where old oil can be taken for recycling or environmentally
friendly disposal.
