Turn thermostat dial down to 250°F (121. 1 °C) or turn off during idle periods. As the shortening is being used, it is wearing out, consequently, the flash point (the temperature at which fire may result by overheating of the shortening) becomes lower. Replace old shortening with new when: · it begins bubbling excessively without food immersed, · it tastes of foreign flavors, or · gummy film collects on fry baskets.

Choose a Shortening. The investment in good quality shortening will be rewarded with a long time use and fried foods of high standards. Shortening for frying should be bland in taste so it will not impart off flavors to foods. It is essential that the shortening selected have a high smoke point, well above the recommended frying temperatures. When the shortening reaches its smoking point, it begins to break down and becomes indigestible. Even with normal use, the composition of shortening changes and the smoking point becomes lower as it is used. Generally, hydrogenated fats, because of their high smoke point and resistance to break down, are considered ideal for deep frying. There are a number of reputable concerns packing shortening of this type who guarantee the smoke point of their product to be well above 400°F (204. 4°C). 2. 4. Be sure the power ON/OFF switch and the thermostat dial are at the "OFF" position. WARNING: If solid shortening is used, pack tightly around heating elements.
