FRYING FROZEN FOODS
Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures. Consequently, they significantly lower the temperature of the liquid
used for cooking.
For best results, never exceed the maximum recommended quantity of food when frying.
Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice; this ice should be removed before cooking. Immerse the basket
in the oil very slowly to prevent the oil from boiling over.
The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted according to the initial temperature of the food being fried
and the temperatures indicated on the packaging of the food.
