Mozzarella Sticks Frying Temperature — 375°F / 191°C

Overview

Fry mozzarella sticks at 375°F (191°C) for 1-2 min. Freeze before frying to prevent cheese from melting out.

Key Details

• Oil Temperature: 375°F / 191°C
• Fry Time: 1-2 min
• Freeze before frying to prevent cheese from melting out.
• Use a deep-fry or candy thermometer to monitor oil temp
• Oil temperature drops when food is added — adjust heat accordingly

Why This Matters

• Correct oil temperature is critical for crispy, non-greasy results
• Too low: greasy and soggy. Too high: burnt outside, raw inside
• Oil temperature drops when food enters — don't overcrowd
