Notes
- A healthier, cleaner alternative to deep frying is to use an Air Fryer. Less smell, less cleanup and just as tasty. You won’t be disappointed!
- Make sure to use a thermometer to maintain the correct oil temperature. If the oil is too hot, it can smoke and become a fire hazard. If it is not hot enough, the food will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- When adding food to the oil, be careful to avoid splatters. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to gently lower the food into the oil.
- In the unlikely event of a fire, it is important to have a fire extinguisher nearby to put out the flames.
