TIPS FOR FRYING BREADS
Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) unless recipe specifies otherwise. A cube of
bread should brown in approximately 60 seconds. Correct temperature
is extremely important. If the temperature is too high, breads will brown
before the insides have cooked; if it is too low, the bread will absorb
the fat and become soggy and greasy.
Cook only as much as will float easily in the oil. Too much added to the
Cuisinart
TM
Cool Touch Deep Fryer will cause the temperature to drop,
and the food will be difficult to turn.
Turn bread when it rises to the top of the oil, taking care not to pierce it.
Lift cooked breads from the fryer; allow them to drain for a moment,
then place on paper towels to drain.change it. Also, the smoking point
(temperature when oil will burn) of the oil lowers with each use.
