Then immerse the basket back in the oil for a second time (see enclosed tables). FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying as, especially when the food has been breaded or floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat.
