Chef's Notes
When frying, choose a healthy oil that has a high smoke point and is low in saturated fat, such as peanut, soybean, or canola oil. Then place it in a deep skillet or Dutch oven. The pan you choose should depend on the food you'll cook—you don't want to overcrowd the pan. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, and then watch the temperature very closely. If the oil is not hot enough, the food will soak up extra oil.
