Safety
requirements
for deep fat frying
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods,
in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
