Accordingly, before pouring oil into the removable pot be sure that the pot and all parts are COMPLETELY dry.
Before placing food in deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry with
toweling.
 Use caution when deep frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may
develop air bubbles during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use a slotted spoon or tongs, rather than a fork,
when turning food during frying and also when removing food from oil.

within these bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas,
carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.
