Tips for deep frying

▯
Don't deep fry too large of quantities at once so
that the oil can circulate well and quickly transfer
heat to the food. Shake the food around so that it
doesn't stick to each other and the oil can
circulate better.
▯
The food should be completely immersed in deep
frying oil or fat. Otherwise it must be turned
halfway through the frying time or pushed down
with another frying basket.
▯
Fill the frying basket on a countertop next to the
deep fryer, not in or over the deep fryer. This
keeps the deep frying oil or fat free of residue for
longer.
▯
Don't salt or season over the deep fryer, in order
to prevent contaminating the deep frying oil or fat.
▯
Inserting damp or frozen food causes the deep
frying oil or fat to foam particularly heavily. Lower
the frying basket slowly several times. This
prevents the fat from running over.
▯
With frozen foods, remove the ice prior to deep
frying.
▯
Set the recommended temperature.
‒ Correct temperature: Proteins form a
protective crust. This prevents much fat from
penetrating.
‒ Too high of temperature: The surface of the
food becomes encrusted too quickly The
insides remain raw.
‒ Too low of temperature: The food absorbs too
much fat.
▯
Dab off freshly deep-fried food with a paper
towel. This further reduces the amount of fat.
