general, the oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat or sh). When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and it is ltered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the oil for longer than 6 months.

RECIPES
Tips for Frying Breads
Heat oil to 375°F unless recipe species otherwise. A cube of bread should brown in approximately 60 seconds. Correct temperature is extremely important. If the temperature is too high, breads will brown before the insides have cooked; if it is too low, the bread will absorb the fat and become soggy and greasy.
Cook only as much as will oat easily in the oil. Too much added to the Waring Pro
temperature to drop, and the food will be difcult to turn. Turn bread when it rises to the top of the oil, taking care not to pierce it. Lift cooked breads from the fryer; allow them to drain for a moment, then place on paper towels to drain.

Page 7
1 cup applesauce 2 large eggs flour for dusting oil for frying powdered or granulated sugar for dusting
Put the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl and stir with a whisk to blend; reserve. Put the sugar and shortening in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat to blend and break up the shortening. Add the applesauce and eggs; beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture in two additions and blend on medium speed until mixed. Cover dough and chill for a least 1 hour.
Divide dough into two equal portions. Place one portion of dough on a generously floured surface and dust with flour. Roll out to ½-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured doughnut cutter and place doughnuts on a waxed paper lined baking sheet or tray. Repeat with remaining dough. Re-roll scraps and repeat.
Heat vegetable oil in Waring Pro

Professional Deep Fryer until it reaches 375°F. Carefully lower 3 doughnuts into the hot oil – do not overcrowd! Fry on each side, about 1½ to 2 minutes, turning with a slotted spoon or wire skimmer. Remove and drain on layered paper towels. Pat gently to remove any excess oil, and sprinkle with desired amount of sugar.

Spicy Buffalo Wings
Makes 24 pieces
12 chicken wings ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 5 to 8 tablespoons “Louisiana style” hot sauce
(such as Frank’s Louisiana Red Hot!™) 1 tablespoon cider vinegar oil for frying blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, carrot sticks,
zucchini sticks
Cut wing tips from wings and discard or reserve for making chicken stock. Split each wing at the joint and cut through so there are 2 pieces from each wing. Rinse and dry completely. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, hot sauce and cider vinegar and stir until completely blended.
Heat oil until it is 375°F. Put half the wings into the Waring Pro
®
Professional Deep Fryer and cook until browned and crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove wings; drain briefly on layered paper towels. Then stir hot, crispy wings into the hot sauce mixture. Repeat with remaining wings. Serve hot with cold vegetable sticks and blue cheese dressing.
Note: If you have some guests who do not appreciate hot and spicy, fry the wings as instructed and toss with your favorite BBQ sauce or honey mustard sauce. For “suicidal” strength wings, add Tabasco® or other hot sauce along with the Louisiana style hot sauce.
Blue Cheese Dressing
½ cup mayonnaise (regular or lowfat) ½ cup sour cream (regular or lowfat) ½ cup crumbled blue cheese 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic ¼ cup finely chopped parsley 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fried Calamari
Herbed Beer Batter Onion Rings
Makes about 4 servings
2½ pounds cleaned calamari, including some tentacles vegetable oil for frying 2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley 1 teaspoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon each: kosher salt and freshly ground pepper marinara sauce for dipping fresh lemon wedges for garnish
Rinse and drain the calamari; place on thick layers of paper towels, pressing and blotting them completely dry with another layer of paper towels on top. Cut the bodies into ½-inch rings, and cut tentacles into halves or quarters if large.
Heat oil to 360°F in the Waring Pro the oven to 500°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with a triple thickness of paper towels.
Put the flour, parsley, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper in a jumbo resealable food storage bag. Working with about a quarter of the calamari at a time, drop calamari into the bag, seal and shake. Squeeze the sides of the bag to completely coat the calamari. Take care that the pieces are individually coated and not stuck together. Remove from the bag and place on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap. Repeat until all the calamari has been coated evenly with flour mixture.
Gently add calamari to hot oil, about 1 to 1½ cups at a time, trying to let all the pieces drop in separately. Do not crowd the calamari, because crowding will drop the temperature of the oil. The calamari will be pale golden and just cooked in about 40 to 60 seconds. Do not overcook – they will become tough. Lift the calamari out using a slotted spoon or metal skimmer, and drain in a single layer on prepared cookie sheets. Repeat with the remaining calamari. When all the calamari have been fried, reheat them in the 500°F oven for several minutes. Sprinkle lightly with a little more salt, and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Better than Fast Food French Fries
Makes about 6 servings
peanut or vegetable oil for frying 2 russet potatoes kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Heat oil in Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer to 325°F.
Cut potatoes into french fry-cut uniform sticks (about 6 x 6 mm) or into slices ¼ inch or less thick. As you cut, place the potatoes in a bowl of ice water to keep them from turning brown.
Drain and dry the potato strips completely and thoroughly. They cannot be at all wet, or the oil will spatter and spit. Fry the potatoes in small batches. Cook for about 3 minutes, remove and drain on layers of paper towels.
Increase temperature of oil to 375°F. In small batches again, fry the potatoes for a second time, this time about 4 minutes, until golden and crispy. Drain on fresh layers of paper towels. Season to taste and serve immediately.
Seasoning suggestions: herb blends, Cajun or Creole seasonings, and chili powder.

3 tablespoons kosher salt 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1 cup boiling water 12 ice cubes 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper ¼ teaspoon paprika ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic powder oil for frying ¾ cup buttermilk or regular milk
Honey Mustard Sauce
½ cup honey ¼ cup Dijon mustard (regular or grainy)
Combine salt, sugar and boiling water in a medium-large heat-proof bowl. Stir until sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add ice. Cut chicken into ½ x 2-inch strips. Place cut chicken in the chilled brine mixture and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
Combine the flour with the salt, pepper, paprika, and granulated garlic in a shallow bowl; reserve. Blend honey and mustard to make honey mustard sauce.
When ready to cook, drain chicken and pat completely dry. Heat oil in Waring Pro dried chicken strips in buttermilk and roll in flour mixture to coat well. Place the strips on a plate.

DEEP FRYING GUIDE – Fresh or Uncooked Foods
Fresh indicates food prepared from a recipe or purchased fresh, not frozen. Read package label to determine if prepared, packaged foods are NOT precooked. If frozen, do not thaw; place foods directly from package into preheated oil. If there are ice granules around prepared foods, set pieces on a paper towel and pat dry. Moist vegetables will cause the oil to splatter.
Frying times may vary because of food temperature, quantity and size of pieces. Best results are obtained when food is cooked in small batches and size of pieces is uniform. Check deep-fried foods at the shortest times given; deep fry until heated through.
DEEP FRYING GUIDE – Prepared Foods
Prepared foods listed in this chart are breaded and cooked prior to packaging. If frozen, do not thaw; place foods directly from package into preheated oil. If there are frozen ice granules around prepared foods, set pieces on a paper towel and pat dry.
Use this chart as a guide to deep frying times. Best results are obtained when food is cooked in small batches and size of pieces is uniform. Check deep fried foods at the shortest times given; deep-fry until heated through.
