Helpful Hints - Westinghouse WST3034 Owner's Manual

Frying
• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the hot oil can
freely circulate all around the food.
• In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
• Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces together so they will be cooked
in the same amount of time.
• Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying. Water on the
surface of the food can cause the oil to spatter and foam.
• When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine, uniform crumbs stick better
than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off all extra breading to help keep oil clean.
• Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, make sure the Basket
has been lowered into the hot oil before placing foods into the oil. This will prevent any
foods from sinking below the Heating Element, from where they would be hard to retrieve.
Oil
• Never over fill or under fill the fryer with oil. Minimum and maximum oil amounts are marked
on the inside of the Tank.
• Store clean or strained oil in fryer for only short amounts of time. Transfer oil to a covered
container once cooled. Store oil in the refrigerator.
• When frying fish or seafood, the oil may absorb a "fishy" taste. To eliminate transferring this
"fishy" taste to other foods, we suggest changing the oil before frying other foods.
