Getting the frying temperature right is crucial for a perfect dish. If the oil is too cold, the food becomes soggy; too hot, and the outside burns while the inside remains raw. A pinch of breading added to hot oil should bubble gently, indicating optimal frying conditions. Other methods for checking oil temperature include dropping a cube of bread or using the handle of a wooden spoon to observe the same gentle bubbling. This ensures well-cooked, delicious results while avoiding common frying mistakes.
When you add the breading to the hot oil, you should observe nice, gentle bubbling. If the oil is too cold, the breading will sink.
Smoking oil is a sign that your frying oil needs to cool down before frying. The calm bubbling indicates the right temperature.
