• Oil temperature is crucial for deep frying. To avoid greasy,
oil-saturated foods, the oil temperature must be between the
temperatures 350°F and 375°F. The exception is frying potatoes,
as you “blanch” them in oil first to cook the interior at a lower
temperature, and then fry again at a higher temperature to achieve
the crispy exterior.
cleaning with baking soda after each use (each time you
change oil). See "Cleaning and Care" section, page 5 in
instruction booklet.
FUN AND DIFFERENT IDEAS TO TRY
IN THE DEEP FRYER
• When adding foods to the deep fryer it is important not to add too
much at once. Too much food will cause the temperature of the oil
to drop, resulting in greasy rather than crispy food. Overcrowding
the fryer basket will also result in uneven cooking.
Fried cheeses are great on top of a salad or as a new addition to a
cheese plate.
Try deep frying cheese – take Camembert, Brie or chèvre, slice into
wedges or individual portions, dip in beaten egg whites and then roll
in panko breadcrumbs seasoned with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½
teaspoon of pepper and a teaspoon of herbs de Provence. Place
cheese in freezer for at least ½ hour to firm and set the coating. Fry at
375°F for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve
immediately.
• The recipes will specify whether to place the food to be fried in
the basket in either the up or down position. When adding food
to the deep fryer in the down position, be very careful not to drop
anything into the hot oil, causing it to splash upward. Instead,
gently ease ingredients into the oil right at the oil’s surface with a
pair of tongs or a perforated skimmer.
Thinly julienne leeks and fry at 375°F. Remove when golden, after 1 to
2 minutes. Drain on layered paper towels and season with salt. Serve
alongside or on top of meats, fish, salads, or even mashed potatoes
for a delicate crunch.
• It is best to season fried food with salt and pepper once it has
drained on paper towels after frying and while it is still hot.
Deep-fried foods are best when served immediately after cooking
and draining. If you are frying large amounts of food, keep your
oven preheated to 200°F. This way you can keep fried food on a
wire rack set on a jelly-roll pan in the oven once it has been fried,
to keep it warm for serving.
For crispy noodles, cut egg roll wrappers into strips and deep fry at
375°F until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on layered
paper towels and season with salt.
For tortilla chips, cut corn tortillas into quarters and deep fry at 375°F
until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on layered paper
towels and season with salt.
• Always remove small food particles from the oil with a large, round
slotted spoon or spider.
• Always have your ingredients ready to go as soon as your oil is at
the correct temperature.
For croutons, cut day-old bread into cubes. Fry at 375°F until golden
brown, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
• When frying for an extended amount of time, be sure oil returns to
required temperature before frying each batch. It is also important
to keep the oil at the recommended level for each recipe, adding
more oil as needed – remember, when foods are fried at the proper
temperature, minimal oil is absorbed.
The following versatile batters can be used for chicken, fish, seafood,
and vegetables.

Crumb Coatings
RECIPES
An alternative to batter is simply to coat the items you are frying with
a crumb mixture.
Beer Batter
Some examples of crumb mixtures are:
Makes 1½ cups
•
•
Seasoned breadcrumbs
1
½
1
cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
teaspoon kosher salt
cup beer
Panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs that are coarser than
regular breadcrumbs – they impart a crunchy texture)
•
•
Graham cracker crumbs
Cornflake crumbs
Place flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the beer and stir with a
whisk to incorporate. Let batter rest, covered with plastic, for at least
½ hour and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator before using.
A standard way to coat items to be fried is to first dredge them in
flour, shaking off any excess, then dredge in beaten egg, shaking off
excess, and finally, dredge in the crumb mixture of your choice, also
shaking off the excess. It is sometimes recommended to refrigerate
the breaded items for at least ½ hour before frying (this helps the
crumbs stick to the item being fried). Follow the directions for frying
given in the recipe.
Tempura Batter
Makes about 1½ cups
1
egg yolk
1
¾
¼
cup ice water
cup cake flour
cup cornstarch
In a mixing bowl, stir together the egg yolk and ice water until well
combined. Stir in both cake flour and cornstarch; the batter will be
lumpy.
Let batter rest, covered, for about 1 hour in the refrigerator before
using.

SAUCE SUGGESTIONS FOR DEEP FRIED
CHICKEN WINGS
Deep Fried Chicken Wings for One
Makes 10 to 12 pieces, depending on size of wings
¼
¼
1
6
1
cup packed brown sugar
cup kosher salt
cup boiling water
cups ice cubes
pound chicken wings (about 5 or 6) *
Buffalo Sauce
Makes about 1 cup – enough for 3 pounds Deep Fried Wings
¹⁄
½
cup unsalted butter, melted
cup Louisiana hot sauce
³
Place sugar, salt and boiling water in a large bowl; stir until sugar
and salt are completely dissolved. Add ice cubes and allow the
mixture to cool completely. Cut off wing tips (reserve for another use
such as stock, or discard), and halve the chicken wings at the joint.
Place in the cooled brine and add cold water to cover. Cover and
refrigerate at least one hour or overnight. This is “brining” the meat,
which produces a moist, juicy wing. If you are in a rush, this step can
be omitted.
(such as Frank’s Louisiana Red Hot!™)
tablespoon cider vinegar
1
Place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk until
completely blended and homogenous. Add hot wings and toss to
coat. Pour remaining sauce over wings to serve.
Fill the Cuisinart™ Deep Fryer to the maximum line with vegetable oil.
Preheat to 375˚F. While the oil is heating, drain the chicken wings
and dry them well (the oil will splatter if the wings are at all wet).
Prepare your favorite sauce. Working in batches of about 5 to 6 wing
halves at a time, fry in hot oil until deep golden brown and crispy and
no signs of pink show when pierced at the bone, about 9 to 12
minutes (depending on size of wings). Lift basket and let oil drain out.
With a pair of tongs, place wings on layered paper towels to drain.
Repeat with remaining wings until all wings have been cooked. When
all wings are cooked, add to the bowl of sauce and toss to coat
completely. Transfer to a dish and pour any remaining sauce over
wings or place in a small bowl for dipping.

Place all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil
and then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Add hot wings and
toss to coat. Pour remaining sauce over wings to serve.
*This recipe can easily be doubled. When ready to fry, preheat oven
to 200°F. Place a wire cooling rack on a jelly-roll pan. Once the first
batch of wings is cooked, transfer them to the wire rack on the jelly-
roll pan and keep warm in the preheated 200°F oven. Repeat as
necessary. Once all wings are cooked, toss in the pre-made sauce.

2
tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
teaspoons soy sauce
teaspoons sesame oil
Fill the Cuisinart™ Deep Fryer to the maximum line with vegetable oil.
Preheat to 375˚F. When oil is ready, fry wontons in batches. Fill the
basket, in the up position, in a single layer of wontons (about 3 to 4).
Do not overcrowd. Lower basket into oil and fry for about 1 minute,
until golden and crispy. Lift basket and let the oil drain out. With a
pair of tongs, place wontons on layered paper towels to drain, and
season lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining wontons and serve
immediately.

wonton wrappers
water and cornstarch for sealing wontons
Pour the vegetable oil in a 2-quart sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the shallot, carrot, celery, and jalapeño and sauté for about
3 minutes, until vegetables soften slightly. Add the garlic,
mushroom, and bell pepper and continue to cook for an additional
3 to 4 minutes. Stir in ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice
vinegar and cook for about 1 minute. Taste and correct seasoning
if needed. Remove from heat and allow to cool before assembling
wontons. Filling can be prepared ahead – cool and refrigerate until
ready to assemble wontons.
Serve wontons with a soy dipping sauce.
*Note: When using wonton wrappers, it is important to keep them in
their package or wrapped in plastic until you use them, as they can
easily dry out.
For shrimp wontons: Process 8 ounces of cooked shrimp with
1 egg white and stir into the cooled vegetable mixture before
assembling wontons.
Prepare a work area equipped with small bowl of water and pastry
brush, small bowl of cornstarch, large plate or cutting board dusted
with cornstarch, package of wonton wrappers*, and wonton filling.
On a clean, dry surface, line up 3 to 6 wonton wrappers at a time.
Place ½ tablespoon of filling in the middle of each wrapper. Brush
the edges of the wrappers with water. Then fold the wrappers. If
using square wrappers fold into a triangle and then press the edges
tightly with your fingers in order to seal the wonton. Then, fold again
so that the points on the longest side of the triangle meet, pressing
them so that they adhere. If using round wrappers, fold circle in half
pressing with your fingers to seal the dumpling. Leave as is or crimp
the edges using your thumb and first finger. Continue to fill the
remaining wontons. Keep the prepared wontons on a clean tray or
cutting board and dust them with plenty of cornstarch. Once finished,
cover in plastic.

lining up the edges. Press edges together with your fingers to
completely seal the ravioli. Using a fork, press the tines around the
edges of the ravioli to further create a seal. Continue to fill the
remaining ravioli. Keep prepared ravioli on a clean tray or cutting
board and dust them with plenty of cornstarch. Once finished, cover
in plastic.
Serve ravioli with your favorite marinara or pasta sauce.
*Note: when using wonton wrappers, it is important to keep them in
their package or wrapped in plastic until you use them, as they can
easily dry out.
Fill the Cuisinart™ Deep Fryer to the maximum line with vegetable oil.
Preheat to 375˚F. When oil is ready, fry ravioli 2 at a time. Do not
overcrowd. Lower basket into oil and fry for about 1 to 2 minutes,
until golden and crispy. Lift basket and let the oil drain out. With a
pair of tongs, place ravioli on layered paper towels and season lightly
with salt. Repeat with remaining ravioli and serve immediately.

1-2
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
cup unbleached all-purpose flour
teaspoon baking powder
firm apples, about 8 ounces
(preferably Granny Smith), sliced
cinnamon sugar for dusting
water and cornstarch for sealing wontons
Slice the banana into 12 to 15 slices. Break the chocolate into the
same number of pieces as slices of bananas.
Prepare a work area equipped with a small bowl of water and pastry
brush, small bowl of cornstarch, large plate or cutting board dusted
with cornstarch, package of wonton wrappers*, and filling. On a
clean surface, line up 3 to 6 wonton wrappers at a time. Place a
piece of banana in the middle of each wrapper. Place a piece of
chocolate on the top of the banana slice. Brush the edges of the
wrapper with water. Then fold the wrappers in half. If using square
wrappers fold into a triangle and then press the edges tightly with
your fingers in order to seal the wonton. Reserve finished wontons
on a clean plate dusted with cornstarch.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the egg yolk and sugar. Whisk in the
milk and vanilla extract and then whisk in the dry ingredients slowly,
¼ cup at a time, until batter is smooth. Whip the egg whites to firm
but not dry peaks. Carefully fold the whites with a large rubber
spatula into the batter base in three separate additions.
Fill the Cuisinart™ Deep Fryer with vegetable oil to the maximum line.
Preheat to 375˚F. When oil is ready, lower the basket into the oil. Dip
the fruit slices into the batter allowing any excess to drip back into
the bowl. Carefully lower fruit slices into the oil. Fry for 1½ to 2
minutes total, turning once so that the fritters are golden and crispy.
Lift basket and let the oil drain out. With a pair of tongs, place fritters
on layered paper towels to drain and dust with cinnamon sugar.
Repeat with remaining fritters and serve immediately.
