Chef Jason's Tips: If you don't have a frying thermometer, you can tell if the oil is ready with a wooden spoon. Just place it in the hot oil and if a lot of bubbles form around the edge, your oil is hot enough for frying. You can also flick some water or a bread cube in the oil. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
