DEEP-FRYING

Deep-frying is an easy and flavorful way to cook meat, poultry, fish and vegetables. Traditionally, deep-frying was performed in a wok. Today, Dutch ovens or deep, heavy saucepans work equally as well.

When deep-frying, use this easy two-step process to ensure your food is fully and evenly cooked.

1. Immerse food in heated oil until each piece is golden brown in color. Remove the pieces of food, drain and cool at room temperature. Paper towels provide a good base to place the food because they absorb excess grease.
2. Reheat oil and re-immerse food. Drain and serve.
