Now, here’s how to prepare the perfect fries every time:

Handle with care:

  • Carefully unload your cases of Cavendish Farms French fries. By carrying and stacking them gently, you help keep the French fries from breaking
  • Check your shipment. Examine each carton for damage and report any pierced, crushed, dented or wet cases to your Cavendish Farms distributor
  • Store your cases of frozen French fries in the freezer. This will maintain the quality and taste of your product. Cases should never be left at room temperature.
  • Maintain the right freezer temperature. Your frozen Cavendish Farms French fries should always be stored at 0ºF (-18ºC) or below. Warmer temperatures risk spoiling the product.
  • Inventory should be stored at least four inches from freezer walls and never stacked more than six cases high. Always use your oldest inventory first.

Cooking for Great Taste

  • For best results, fill your fry basket only halfway to the top with frozen Cavendish Farms French fries. Use a reliable thermometer to make sure cooking oil is at the right temperature, as indicated on the carton.
  • Set your timer for the exact time recommended as indicated on the carton. Do not over or undercook your Cavendish Farms French fries.
  • Give the fry basket a shake after about 30 seconds of cooking. This ensures each and every fry is in even contact with the cooking oil.
  • Always serve Cavendish Farms French fries fresh. If you must hold them, keep them under heat and don’t pile them too high. Never serve fries more than 7 minutes out of the fryer.
  • Be sure to use a clean and efficient fryer. Oil should be filtered daily, and changed often.
