OIL TEMPERATURE GUIDE
325–375°F/163-190°C is the normal desired
temperature for deep fry cooking.
Note: When food is added to hot oil, the temperature of
the oil immediately drops at least 50°F/28°C. You will need
to bring the oil temperature back to the desired cooking
temperature. Frying at lower temperatures results in lighter
color, less flavor development and increased oil absorption.
