Frying
It is best when frying not to use food that has come
straight out of the refrigerator. Only about 2/3 of the
bottom of the pan should be covered by food.
Put the margarine or butter in the frying pan and turn on to
the recommended heat. In order to get the best results, it is
important that the fat is the right colour (temperature) when
you start frying. Hold a light-coloured spatula to the bottom
of the pan to see the colour of the fat.
