Deep fat frying
For safety purposes, when deep fat
frying, fill the pan 1/3 full of oil. Do
not cover the pan with a lid and do
not leave the pan unattended.
In the event of a fire, switch off at the
electricity supply and cover the pan
with a lid or damp cloth to assist in
smothering the flames.
Do not use water on the fire. Leave the
pan to cool for at least 30 minutes
before moving it.
Do not leave the fat or oil in the frying
pan on the hob to store it in case the
hob is inadvertently switched on.
1. Preparing the food
Seal the food by coating with flour,
egg and bread crumbs or batter. Do not
use a basket with batter coated foods
as they will stick.
2. Quantity of oil
For safety purposes, fill the pan only
1/3 full of oil.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil
It is advisable to use a thermometer to
test the temperature of the oil.
Alternatively, drop a small cube of
bread into oil which should brown in
just under a minute if the oil is at the
correct temperature, or 190˚C.
4. Cooking the food
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do
not add too much food at once or the
temperature of the oil will be reduced
and may result in soggy, greasy food.
Turn the food if necessary, doughnuts
float to the surface so they will not
brown on the upper side if not turned.
Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
