Before frying battered food, drain off excess batter.  
To make chips, cut potatoes up evenly, so they cook  
evenly. Rinse and dry before frying. For best results use dry  
floury textured potatoes i.e. King Edwards or Maris Piper.  
To prolong the life of your fryer, filter the oil after each  
use and change it after 8 - 10 uses.

hints  
G
We would recommend the use of a good quality oil for  
deep frying, such as corn oil or groundnut oil. A good  
quality solid fat may also be used. Other oils may be  
used if they are specifically recommended by the  
manufacturer for deep frying. Never mix different oils or  
fat and do not use olive oil, butter or margarine as they  
will smoke or bubble over.  
G
Pre-cooked food needs a higher temperature than raw  
food.  
G
Cook food thoroughly. The outside may look ready  
before the inside is cooked.
