Frying Tips  
Frying Oil  
Disposing of Oil  
• Use a frying oil that is high in  
unsaturated fats such as vegetable,  
corn, or peanut oil.  
• Pour cool oil into its original (reseal-  
able) empty plastic bottle.  
Frozen Food  
• Food from the freezer will cool the oil  
considerably when it is added.  
• DO NOT mix two different types of oil.  
Changing the Oil  
Because it will not sear right away,  
the food may absorb too much oil. To  
help prevent this, allow the frozen  
food to partly defrost at room temper-  
ature then shake off as much ice and  
water as possible before adding to  
hot oil. Also, do not fry large quanti-  
ties at one time.  
• Change oil regularly to maintain opti-  
mum frying and flavor quality.  
• Oil used for french fries can be used  
10 to 12 times before changing if the  
oil is filtered after each use.  
Cheesecloth or paper towel may be  
used as a filter. Oil used for food that  
is high in protein (such as meat or  
fish) should be changed more often.  
Basket Usage  
• Do not use oil for longer than six  
months and always follow the  
instructions on the package.  
• Battered foods should be carefully  
dropped directly into the oil. Lower  
the basket and carefully drop each  
piece of battered food into the hot oil.  
Lift basket to remove fried foods.  
• DO NOT add fresh oil to used oil.  
• Always change the oil if it starts to  
foam when heated, when it has a  
strong smell or taste, or when it turns  
dark and/or syrupy.  
Troubleshooting  
PROBLEM  
Things TO CHECK  
Fried food does  
not have a golden  
brown color and/or  
is not crispy.  
• The selected temperature is too low or the food has  
not been fried long enough. Check food package or  
Frying Chart for correct temperature or preparation  
time.  
• There is too much food in the basket. Never fry too  
much food at one time. See the food package, Frying  
Chart or recipe for correct frying amount. The food  
pieces may be too thick to fry adequately.  
• Volume of oil is too low.

clean the lid and grease filter in hot, soapy water.  
• The oil isn’t fresh. Change the oil. Filter oil regularly  
to keep it fresh longer.

• There is too much food in the frying basket. Do not fry  
more food at one time than the quantities indicated on  
the food package or the Frying Chart.  
The oil foams too  
much during  
frying.  
• The food contains too much liquid. Dry food thoroughly  
before placing it in the fryer.

214 cups all-purpose flour  
2 tablespoons white sugar  
1 pinch salt  
1 teaspoon vanilla extract  
2 tablespoons butter, melted  
3 tablespoons sherry  
1 egg  
12 cup confectioners sugar for dusting  
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar together. Add egg, butter  
and vanilla; mix until dough becomes stiff. Stir in sherry one tablespoon at a time  
until dough is workable and smooth. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours. On  
a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 18-inch thickness. Cut into long nar-  
row strips, and tie into loose knots, do not pull tight.  
Heat oil to 375ºF. Fry cookie ties in hot oil for about two minutes, until they puff  
and turn golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners sugar  
while still warm. Makes 3 dozen.  
Sopapillas  
6 taco size flour tortillas  
14 cup white sugar  
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon  
Heat oil to 375ºF. Cut tortillas horizontally and vertically to make four triangle-  
shaped pieces. Lower basket and carefully drop up to 8 triangles at a time into  
preheated oil. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Quickly sprinkle with  
sugar-cinnamon mixture. Makes 6 servings.

2 cups all-purpose flour  
14 cup white sugar  
2 eggs  
1 cup milk  
1 tablespoon baking powder  
12 teaspoon ground nutmeg  
14 teaspoon cinnamon  
2 large apples, peeled, cored and diced  
12 cup confectioners sugar for dusting  
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon,  
and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Stir milk mixture into  
flour mixture until smooth. Fold in apples.  
Remove basket from fryer and heat oil to 375ºF. Using a small ice cream scoop or  
a teaspoon, carefully drop batter into the preheated oil. Cook 8 or 10 at a time  
and turn for even browning on both sides. Cook 3 minutes or until golden brown.
