Frying shortening defined
Frying shortening is a medium which transmits heat from the source to the food and becomes a part of the fried food.
Fried foods may contain from 7% to over 35% shortening, based on weight, the food being fried, and the frying conditions.
An ingredient making up such a large percentage of the finished product is of prime importance to your operation.
