Frying Tips

Selecting and changing the frying oil

•  Use a good quality vegetable or peanut 

oil.

•  Frying foods in butter, margarine, olive 

oil, or animal fat is NOT recommended 

because of low temperature smoke 

point.

•  DO NOT mix two types of oil.
•  Change oil regularly to maintain 

optimum frying and flavor quality.

•  Oil used for french fries can be used 

10 to 12 times before changing if oil is 

filtered after each use. Oil used for food 

that is high in protein (such as meat or 

fish) should be changed more often.

•  To filter oil, allow oil to completely cool. 

Cheesecloth or paper towel may be 

used as a filter to strain oil.

•  Always follow food package directions.
•  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.

Before frying

•  Excess water or ice particles can cause 

hot oil to splatter or foam. Remove any 

excess water from fresh food by blotting 

with a paper towel. Remove any ice 

chunks or buildup from frozen foods.

General tips

•  DO NOT use plastic utensils in hot oil.
•  Season food AFTER frying.
•  If food is not as crisp as desired, reduce 

batch size.

Disposing of oil

•  Pour cool oil into its original  

(resealable) empty plastic bottle.

Basket usage with freshly battered foods

•  Freshly battered foods should be 

carefully placed directly into oil. First, 

lower Frying Basket completely and 

then carefully place each piece of 

battered food into hot oil. Use Frying 

Basket to remove fried battered foods.

Storage

•  Basket Handle can be disengaged and 

rotated into Frying Basket. Place Oil Pot 

in Base and then place Frying Basket 

and Magnetic Cord Assembly in Oil Pot.

•  It is best to store all oils in refrigerator 

or a cool, dark, dry place for up to six 

months.
