DEEP-FRYING GUIDE:
Fresh or Uncooked Foods
Fresh indicates food prepared from a recipe or
purchased fresh, not precooked. Read package
label to determine if prepared, packaged foods
are NOT precooked. If frozen, do not thaw; place
foods directly from package into preheated oil.
If there are ice granules around prepared foods,
set pieces on a paper towel and pat dry. Moist
vegetables will cause the oil to splatter.
Frying times may vary because of food tempera-
ture, quantity and size of pieces. Best results are
obtained when food is cooked in small batches
and the size of pieces is uniform. Check deep-
fried foods at the shortest times given; deep-fry
until fully cooked.
