Deep frying is where food is cooked by total immersion in hot fat or oilThis method is best suited to foods which can be cooked quickly

The temperature for deep frying is between

145°C and 195°CThe oil or fat is ready for cooking when a light haze rises from the surface.

If the frying medium is too hot you must allow it to cool to the correct temperature before you begin to cook

There must be a sufficient level of fat in the pan Half or two-thirds full is usually adequate

If too much food is put into the deep fryer at once, it may overflow

Be alert
