What is double frying?

Answer 1

Double frying is sometimes call par-fried. It is simply this: fry your dish (french fries, egg rolls, fish, etc.) for 2-3 minutes at about 325 degrees. They outside should be light golden, but not more. The food, such as french fries, will actually be a bit limp. Take the food out onto paper towels to drain away the excess oil. Let the food cool. Then raise the oil temperature to 375. Put the food back into the oil for 3-4 minutes, or until it is as done as you want it to be.

This process insures that the inside will be well cooked and the outside not burned. It will also result in much more crispy foods. Larger foods, such as egg rolls may actually be fried 3 times. Many restaurants par-cook the food well before serving time and refrigerate (or even freeze). Then they do the 2nd frying at serving time. This is how fast food restaurants generally do the french fries we all love.
