Frying Tips
General Tips
• DO NOT use plastic utensils in hot oil.
• Season food AFTER frying.
• If food is not as crisp as desired, reduce batch size.
Disposing of Oil
• Pour cool oil into its original (resealable) empty plastic
bottle.
Basket Usage With Freshly Battered Foods
• Freshly battered foods should be carefully placed directly
into oil. First, lower basket completely and then carefully
place each piece of battered food into hot oil. Use basket to
remove fried battered foods.
Storage
• Basket handle can be disassembled from the basket. Place
oil pot in base and then place basket, basket handle, and
power cord in oil pot.
• It is best to store all oils in a cool, dark, dry place for up to
six months.
