HIGH ALTITUDE DEEP FRYING

High altitude cooking can be very entertaining if you have recently moved into a high altitude area or you are unfamiliar with cooking at high altitudes. For the purpose of these hints, high altitude is considered anything over 1,000 feet above sea level. Although there is no magic equation these tips might help you out if you are unable to get good results from your recipes.

If you are deep-frying any foods, you will need to cook them at about 3º lower per 1,000 feet of elevation and a bit longer than the recipe calls for.

If you try to cook in high altitude at the temperature and time that the recipe calls for at sea level, the food may be a bit crispier on the outside but underdone on the inside.
