FRYING FROZEN FOODS

you don't exceed the maximum quantities set out in
the following table.
2. Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coa-
ting of ice crystals, which should be removed
The cooking time shown in this table are approximate, and may vary according to the initial temperature of the
food and to the cooking temperature recommended on the packet.

Pre-cooked frozen potatoes
Potato croquettes
Fish Fish-fingers

fried, taking into consideration that they will be a little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the tempera-
ture of the oil, upon immersion.
