Lower the food gently into the hot oil and slide from the side of the work or pan. Dropping will cause splashes and cause burns.
Heat the oil to the right temperature before putting the food in so that it starts to cook immediately. If the temperature is too low, excess oil will be absorbed and the crisp and crunchy effect would not be achieved.
A frying basket is useful for helping to drain the fat when the food is lifted out.
Set aside a plate with a piece of absorbent kitchen paper to drain the food of excess oil when cooked.
Don'ts
Fill the pan more than halfway with oil or fat or you could risk it running over.
Overheat the oil as the outside of the food will cook too quickly and the inside will not cook sufficiently.
Do not attempt to extinguish the flames with water. The flames will flare up and it will have disastrous effects.
