How to Use the Stainless Steel Chip Frying Basket

1. Preparation

• Ensure the basket is clean before use. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
• Dry the basket completely to prevent oil splatter when frying.
• Check that the handle is securely attached to the basket.

2. Heating the Oil

• Pour cooking oil into a deep fryer or a deep pot, filling it to the recommended level.
• Heat the oil to the desired temperature, typically around 180°C (356°F) for frying chips. Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.

3. Frying the Chips

• Place the chips evenly into the frying basket, ensuring not to overcrowd them to allow for even cooking.
• Carefully lower the basket into the hot oil using the long handle. Avoid splashes.
• Fry the chips until they are golden brown and crispy, usually about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.

4. Removing and Draining

• Lift the basket out of the oil using the handle, allowing excess oil to drain back into the fryer or pot.
• Place the fried chips on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.

5. Cleaning and Storage

• Allow the basket to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wash the basket with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Store in a dry place to prevent rusting.

Safety Tips

• Always use caution when working with hot oil to prevent burns.
• Keep the handle away from the edge of the cooking surface to avoid accidental tipping.
• Do not leave the frying basket unattended while in use.
