Frozen Foods
When cooking frozen food, it is advisable to defrost the food before attempting to fry it. If frozen food is
deposited into the oil, heating recovery times will be greatly reduced, lowering your cooking output.
Defrosting will also ensure that surplus water is not placed into the oil.
FRYING TIPS
1)
Always use a good quality oil or fat, preferably oil which has a high breakdown temperature e.g.
pure
vegetable oil.
2)
Do not exceed the recommended cooking temperature stated by the supplier.
3)
Always maintain the oil at the correct level.
4)
Do not use the Fryer until the oil is at its correct temperature.
5)
Only use very clean oil and filter it daily.
6)
Whilst frying, carefully remove crumbs and pieces which float on the surface of the oil, otherwise
this will carbonate and contaminate the oil.
7)
Keep the pan clean.
8)
Do not overload the baskets.
9)
Use batter plate/frying plate only if free frying of fish is required.
