A FEw qUESTiONS TO ASk YOURSELF
what do you want your food to look
and taste like when the frying is complete?
Liquid frying products, like Elite® Nutra Clear NTTM and Elite® Amaizing Fry NTTM and Elite Clear Choice® have low melting points . As a result, foods fried in clear liquids or creamy liquids will have a shiny appearance and a “melt in your mouth” feel even when cold .
Meat fats and peanut oil can have definite flavor characteristics that, depending on what you are frying, enhance or detract from the flavor of your food . Other types of oils such as canola oil, soybean oil and cottonseed oil tend to be bland .
Solid shortenings tend to “set up” on the food as it cools . Foods fried in solids will have a drier, less shiny appearance . Try Bunge® Heavy Duty All Vegetable Shortening for this effect .
how much “quality time” can you spend with your frying oil?
Creamy and clear oils are the most convenient to work with . They can be poured from the container directly into your fry kettle with ease . They can also be filtered at cool temperatures .
Solid shortenings take more time and training to use properly . For example, solid shortenings need to be slowly melted over low heat when first introduced into the fry kettle . There are multiple methods on how to pack a fryer properly, see pages 7-11 . Also, solid shortenings must be filtered warm because the shortening solidifies as it cools . However, the benefits of excellent frylife may outweigh the inconvenience .
