Deep fat frying

Make sure food is dry before placing it in hot oil to prevent splashing. 

Turn off the heat if the oil starts to smoke and leave it to cool. 

Use a thermostat-controlled electric deep fat fryer to help prevent overheating. 

Do not take risks. Turn off the heat if it is safe to do so. 

Never throw water on a fire. 

Do not attempt to tackle the fire yourself – Get out, stay out and call 999.
