HINTS:
1. Pre-fried (food dipped in batter/coating) requires a higher temperature than raw
food in order to have a crisp coating.
Pre-cooked food that does not have a batter/coating does not require a
higher temperature.
2. When frying dough-like food, scrape off excess dough and carefully place pieces
into oil.
3. Pat uncooked food dry to remove excess moisture and avoid oil splatter.
4. Rely on frying times found on food packaging or in recipe/cookbook.
