Frying Tips
Frying Oil
• Use a frying oil that is high in unsaturated fats such as
vegetable, corn, or peanut oil.
• DO NOT mix two different types of oil.
Changing the Oil
• Change oil regularly to maintain optimum frying and flavor
quality.
• Oil used for french fries can be used 3 to 5 times before
changing if the oil is filtered after each use. Cheesecloth or
paper towel may be used as a filter. Oil used for food that is high
in protein (such as meat or fish) should be changed more often.
• Do not use oil for longer than six months and always follow the
instructions on the package.
• DO NOT add fresh oil to used oil.
• Always change the oil if it starts to foam when heated, when it
has a strong smell or taste, or when it turns dark and/or syrupy.
Disposing of Oil
• After oil and fryer cool completely, pour oil into storage container
or place it in a sealed, nonrecyclable container and discard with
your regular garbage. Cooking oil should never be disposed of in
the kitchen sink or toilet bowl.
