How to tell if cooking oil is hot enough to fry in?
-
If you don’t have a candy thermometer to check the oil temp the easiest and safest way to see if it’s ready is to stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If you see lots of bubbles form around the wood and they start to float up, your oil is ready. If the oil itself is bubbling hard it’s too hot; let it cool a bit and check the temperature again.
