ipS For eep rYing
• F ill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only.
• D o not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food needs to be
surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in
"soggy" food. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.
• B e sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is completely dry.
Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow.
• C oated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating acts
as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
• F or best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
• F ry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and
give you even colored, crispy food.
• P repackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked food.
• F or even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.
