DEEP FRYING GUIDE – Fresh or Uncooked Foods
Fresh indicates food prepared from a recipe or purchased
fresh, not frozen. Read package label to determine if prepared,
packaged foods are NOT precooked. If frozen, do not thaw;
place foods directly from package into preheated oil. If there are
ice granules around prepared foods, set pieces on a paper towel
and pat dry. moist vegetables will cause the oil to splatter.
Frying times may vary because of food temperature, quantity
and size of pieces. Best results are obtained when food is
cooked in small batches and size of pieces is uniform. Check
deep-fried foods at the shortest times given; deep fry until
heated through.
