Minimizing Splattering Oil During Frying

*Whether shallow frying or deep frying, the sizzling oil will always create greasy vapors*. A frying-screen may help reduce splattering while allowing the steam from the food that is cooking to escape.

*NEVER use a tight-fitting lid when frying*. Water and oil don’t mix. A lid will only create dangerous condensation within the vessel. This is why commercial deep fryers never have lids. Even though electric deep fryers do come with a lid, the machine contains special vents to allow the steam to escape.
