HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER AMOUNT OF OIL
(For Use With Cooking Vessels That Do not Have Maximum Fill Line).
Never use a cooking vessel larger than 80 quarts or one that does not fit within the
retaining brackets of the cooker stand. Never use a cooking vessel smaller than 12.5"
diameter.
1. Place the food product in the holder. (strainer basket)
2. Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel.
3. Fill the vessel with water just until the food product is completely submerged.There must be a minimum
of 3 inches between the water level and top of the vessel.)
4. Remove the food product from the vessel and either mark the level on the side of the vessel or
measure the amount of water in the vessel.
5. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.
6. This is the amount of cooking oil the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product.
Step 1:
Determine the amount of oil required by following instructions
above. If cooking with water or other liquid, you can use the
same method described above using slightly more or less,
depending on your cooking needs.
WARNING: Fryer thermometer should not be inserted into
food or touching food when measuring temperature of cook-
ing oil. End of thermometer should be at least one inch
below oil level.
Step 2:
Place pot with liquid on fryer. Make sure thermometer is
clipped to side of pot if cooking with oil. Do not use lid when
heating or cooking with oil. Bring liquid to the desired cooking
temperature (325°F-350°F) (162°C-175°C) for frying. Never
leave heating liquid unattended. It can ignite. Carefully
monitor temperature and never allow oil to reach "Fire Hazard"
zone on thermometer.
