TIPS FOR FRYING FOOD WITH BATTER COATING
Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food
to be fried evenly.
Shake off any excess flour or bread crumb coating to prevent any
clumps from forming when frying.
If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it
is recommended to lower the basket into the hot oil first and then
gently and carefully place battered foods into the oil directly. This will
prevent the batter from catching and sticking to the wiring of the
basket.
Never fill the basket more than 2/3 full. In order to cook evenly, the
food needs space for the frying oil to fry each side.
