Deep frying food

Never leave fat heating unattended - risk of fire.
Deep-frying fat
Only use a suitable oil or fat for deep frying, e.g. vegetable oil.
Break blocks of fat into small pieces. Make sure that there is
enough fat in the pot. The minimum level is the width of two
fingers.
Unsuitable fat
Mixtures of fat, e.g. oil and fat or various types of fat, are not
suitable. The hot fat may froth up.
Heating the fat
Heat the fat in a pot with a lid. When the signal sounds, the fat
is hot. You can then deep fry the food.
Deep-fat frying
Always deep fry without a lid on the pot.
