A FEW IMPORTANT TIPS FOR THE RIGHT FRYING PROCESS:
- -Fry your food dipped in the oil; be sure to put into the pan the right quantity of oil.
- -The temperature; before starting to put the food in the pan, check the temperature of the oil, (do not start cooking when the oil is not hot enough).
- The best temperature is 175 C. You can also easily understand if it’s ready, putting in some small quantity of bread or food you want to cook. If it makes bubbles and the food doesn't stick in the bottom of the pan, it means it is ready for cooking.
- -Fry the food in small quantities, do not dip in the oil a lot of food at the same time. The oil’s temperature will decrease and the food won't fry.
Choose the right oil; fried food is not unhealthy..it can become, but by using the wrong oil.
Enjoy your frying:)
