My food doesn’t get as crisp as I’d like and sometimes is unevenly cooked. What am I doing wrong?

If your food is unevenly cooked, you may be frying foods that are not uniform in thickness or size. Try frying foods of equal

size and thickness as they will fry more evenly and at the same speed.

Helpful Hints

 Before deep frying, always remove excess moisture or ice crystals from food by patting dry with toweling. Even small

amounts of moisture may cause the oil to spatter, pop, boil over, or erupt.

 Whenbreadingfoods,usecommercialbreading,nelygroundbreadorcrackercrumbs,cornmeal,amixtureofcornmeal

andour,pancakemix,orpreparedbreadmixes.

 Useonlyheat-resistantutensilsinthefryerasmostplasticsorrubberwillbecomedamagedfromthehotoil.Donotleave

metal utensils in the fryer as they will become hot.

 Aftereachuse,strainoilthroughalteroradoublethicknessofcheeseclothtoremovetheaccumulatedresidue.

 The number of times the cooking oil can be reused will depend on the food that is fried in it. For example, the oil will need

tobereplacedmoreoftenifsh,chicken,orfoodcoatedwithbreadorcrackercrumbsisfriedfrequently.

 It is time to replace the cooking oil if any of the following occur: the oil is dark in color, has an unpleasant odor, smokes

when it is heated, or foams excessively during frying.
